                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  In this moment of quiet and reverence remind us, O God, that we can 
hear Your word in the hushed moments of life, when the detractions of 
every day are put aside and we allow our senses to listen and to hear 
Your words of faith and hope and love. Open our senses so we are alert 
to Your leading and unlock any perception we have that hinders us from 
Your blessings. Be with us this day and every day, we pray. Amen.
