                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Merciful God, we want to live our lives in grateful response to Your 
goodness. May Your goodness bind our hearts to You. There is no limit 
to what we are able to accomplish when love is our motivation. Help us 
to live this entire day as an expression of our love for You, for all 
the grace You have lavished upon us. Rather than living by obligation 
or oughts, may we do our work today as our way of telling You how much 
we love You. We are so thankful for Your care, for the privilege of 
living in this free land, for our families and friends, and for the 
opportunity to serve You in the formulation of public policy for the 
welfare and prosperity of all people. Our goal is to enjoy this day to 
the fullest. Through our Lord and Savior. Amen.
