                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal and ever blessed God, whose Name is love, put Your love in 
our hearts. Lord, teach us to love so that our primary aim in life will 
be to please You. Teach us to love so that our passion for You will 
provide the foundation of our obedience. Teach us to love so that 
worship will not be a duty but a delight. Teach us to love so that our 
greatest fear will be to disappoint You. Teach our lawmakers to love so 
that they will always be quick to help and to forgive. Lord, teach all 
of us to love so that justice will roll down like waters and 
righteousness like a mighty stream.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
