[Congressional Record Volume 148, Number 31 (Monday, March 18, 2002)] [Senate] [Page S1985] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] prayer The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer: Dear God, a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past. Lord of Time, You divide our lives into years, months, weeks, and hours. As we live our lives, You make us very conscious of the passage of time, the shortness of time to accomplish what we want, and our impatience with other people's priorities in the use of time. We have learned that work expands to fill the time available, but also that deadlines are a part of life. Here we are at the beginning of a crucial week before the Spring recess begins on Friday. Grant the Senators and their staffs an expeditious use of the hours of this week to accomplish what really needs to be done. Help the parties work together to finish what is crucial for America. Grant us all an acute sense of the value of time and our accountability to You for using it wisely. We believe there is enough time in this week to do what You want done. We press on without pressure but with promptness to Your timing. You are always on time, in time to help us in the use of time. For You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen. ____________________
