                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, ADM Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Creator God, Lord of the universe, You have done great things for us. 
You lend us heartbeats and protect us from dangers seen and unseen. You 
breathe purpose into our lives. Lord, forgive us when we travel the 
road of aimless living and major in minors or minor in majors. Save us 
from a cynicism that usually sees the glass as half empty. Help us, 
today, to discern Your will for us, and draw us together in unity. We 
pray this in Your strong name. Amen.
