                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O, God who keeps us in the midst of dangers, shelter us from 
temptations. Keep us from the pride that encourages us to think of 
ourselves more highly than we ought. Save us from procrastination, from 
refusing to face the unpleasant, and from analyzing things until it is 
too late to ever do them.
  Today, guide our lawmakers away from the temptations of criticism and 
fault-finding. Give them the strength to resist the weakness of 
thinking the worst of others.
  Lord, provide us all with the purity to overcome evil with good.
  We pray in your powerful Name. Amen.
