                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  At the first moments of dawn we are reminded, O God, that Your grace 
has come upon us, as free and as available as the morning Sun. When the 
cool of the evening ends the day and the rush of business is hushed and 
the tumult of all life's concerns is at ease, we are reminded of the 
rest and the peace that Your word does give. For all these gifts and 
Your daily blessings we offer this word of prayer and thanksgiving. 
Amen.
