It says: He wants to see Congress and the Obama administration cover all ... everybody else but perfect for them ... I believe those words to be as true.PRAYER
The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, of-
fered the following prayer:
Eternal Spirit, the fountain of all
wisdom, we bring our fragmented lives
into Your presence, seeking Your
wholeness. We bring our restless spirits
to You seeking Your calm strength. We
bring You our transient thoughts,
seeking the permanence of Your gra-
cious providence.
Today, remind our lawmakers that
only as we lose ourselves in something
higher can we truly find ourselves. To
this end, give them great causes to em-
brace and a great faith to energize
their labors. Lord, lead them from
doubt and disillusionment, from cyni-
cism and frustration, to a confidence
that in everything You work for the
good of those who love You. Give them
the light to see the way You desire
them to take through today's per-
plexing circumstances.
We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
