                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord of love, lift our hearts above the mundane and ordinary. 
Inspire our lawmakers with the beauty of Your presence and the majesty 
of Your power. May Your holiness create in them a transformative hunger 
for righteousness that enables them to honor Your Name. Lord, empower 
them to live blameless lives, striving always to do what is right as 
they seek wisdom from Your word. Grant that, as they receive 
inspiration from Your sacred precepts, they will hear Your whisper that 
they are Your children. Fill them today with Your joy.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
