                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Of all your blessings, O God, to which we cling and of all the gifts 
that mark the human soul, we especially hold dear the spirit of 
thanksgiving and the attitude of praise. O Almighty God, who has given 
us all good things, we pray that we will express our gratitude to you 
for your love to us even as we express our appreciation and respect to 
those we love. Bless us this day and every day, we pray, amen.
