                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Encourage us, oh, gracious God, to be doers of Your word and not 
hearers only. Your word points us in the way of truth and justice, 
illumines our path, and we are guided by Your spirit. May the words we 
say with our lips be believed in our hearts, and may all that we 
believe in our hearts be practiced in our daily lives, this day and 
every day, we pray. Amen.
