                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, the heavens proclaim Your glory, and the skies 
display Your craftsmanship. We thank You today for those who positively 
touch our lives. Thank You for mothers and fathers who make good homes 
and guide us to ethical maturity. Thank You for friends who help to 
make life beautiful as they inspire us to show great love. Thank You 
also for loved ones who through personal sacrifices have given us a 
great heritage. Thank You for our Senators who labor diligently to keep 
our country strong. May the words they speak this day and the thoughts 
they think be pleasing to you, Oh, Lord, our Rock, and our Redeemer. 
Amen.
