                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Author of wisdom, source of all goodness, keep us from confusion. 
Today guide Your Senators. Help them to discern between good and evil 
and to recognize the greater good and the lesser evil. Give them the 
ability to understand each other and to find common ground. Infuse them 
with a wisdom that will foster sound judgment and correct appraisal. 
Save them from being destroyed by the trivial and from wasting their 
energy on the incidental. Lead them out of confusion into simplicity.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
