                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty and everlasting God, You have been our help in ages past. 
You are our hope for the years to come. You are our shelter from the 
stormy blast. You are our eternal home.
  Lord, today, keep our lawmakers from being so busy and weary that 
they have no time to listen to Your voice. Keep them from permitting 
the voice of their desires to make them deaf to Your word. Lord, keep 
us all from sometimes forgetting that Your commands are meant for us, 
and Your promises are true.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
