                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Sovereign Lord, sustainer of the universe, remind us today that a 
good reputation is better than wealth. May we protect our good name 
with prudence, civility, diligence and love. Keep us from hasty words, 
an impetuous tongue, and unethical actions.
  May our lives inspire others to maximize their possibilities.
  Lord, bless our lawmakers as they labor. May their work be like a 
special picture frame in which You portray Your grace and beauty.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
