                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As the morning brings light into a dark world, so may your gifts of 
love, O God, bring light and blessing to all people. With the 
frustrations that mark anyone's day we are grateful that you illumine 
our days and comfort our souls. Whether we are living on the mountain 
top of joyful experience or walking through the valley of the shadow of 
death, we know your presence can lead us and give us peace. In your 
name we pray. Amen.
