                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, lover of humanity, give us today Your pardon and peace. Pardon 
the sins of our lips: the unkind words we may have spoken. Pardon the 
sins of our minds: the refusal to face facts. Lord, pardon the sins of 
our hearts: the pride that makes us forget to love our neighbors as we 
love ourselves.
  Mighty God, place Your peace within our Senators, providing them with 
the certainty that Your love can vanquish fear. And, Lord, we continue 
to pray for the tornado recovery efforts.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
