                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty and everlasting God, the strength of all who trust You, as 
we begin, again, Freedom's business, we thank You for divine 
protection. Remind us daily that righteousness exalts a nation but that 
sin brings reproach to any people. Guide our leaders today that their 
words and thoughts may be acceptable in Your sight. Lord, keep our feet 
on the plain path of duty, and may our lives glorify Your name. May 
each of us remember that You are the sure rock upon which we can stand, 
even when the future seems uncertain. Give us the wisdom to trust You 
to order our steps. Amen.
