     We assembled here are prisoners of our own individual                                          
     experience - members of the many diverse world views                                           
     encompassed within our precious Alaska.  But as different as                                   
     each of us may be, we have each been called to serve You and                                   
     Your greater purpose.  That purpose is a sacred trust for a plan                               
     beyond our comprehension.

     This doubled servitude, to You and to our neighbors                                            
     throughout this great state, is a service of joy.  We learn to                                 
     bring our various viewpoints, experiences, talents, and we                                     
     learn to work with and listen to each other.  We fulfill our                                   
     own destinies while playing our small part in the ever-so-                                     
     much-larger tapestry of life that spans creation.  Being human,                                
     we will embellish and make grandiose our part in this                                          
     mysterious plan, but before You, in attempting to comprehend                                   
     Your true grandeur, we must give our awe and our unceasing                                     
     gratitude for the richness of our lot.                                                         
                                                                                                    
     Greatest Power, Creator, as mere humans we are beneficiaries                                   
     of such wealth!  Our duty to those who are not as blessed;                                     
     remembering through each hour of every day this wondrous                                       
     gift of life; seeking to be respectful of all; striving to see the                             
     greater good and asking less for ourselves are ways that we                                    
     can pledge our humble thanks to You.                                                           
                                                                                                    
     Greatest Power and our Creator, we are rich beyond measure.                                    
     Thank You.
