                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  From the rising of the Sun until the going down of the same, we offer 
our thanks and praise to You, O God, for Your gracious gifts of faith 
and hope and love. When we falter or fail, You lift us up; when we do 
justice and seek mercy, You encourage and make us whole. For all Your 
marvelous deeds, O God, that forgive us and point us in the way, we 
offer these words of gratitude and thanksgiving. Amen.
