  Invocation by Chaplain Fred S. Hollomon:
   Heavenly Father,
   We are at that time in the session called ``turn around.''
   A few days to catch our breath.
   An opportunity to turn some things around.
   Some of us may need to turn our attitudes around.
   Some of us may need to turn our approaches around.
   Some of us may need to turn our directions around.
   Some of us may even need to turn our lives around.
   Help us, O God, to turn around whatever needs turning around.
   I pray in the Name of Christ Who has turned many lives around.
   Amen!
