Excellent post. The Berlin Airlift was a fine hour for the United States, the American military and even Truman, who by standards would probably be considered a conservative.

Ants And Elephant Seals

Read: Proverbs 6:6-11

Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. —1 Corinthians 15:34

Bible In One Year: Exodus 1-4

---

Elephant seals spend most of their lives sleeping. Science News magazine reports, "Male elephant seals measure 16 feet from trunk-like nose to flipper, and they weigh about 3 tons. Occasionally, a seal will use a front flipper—incredibly tiny for such a massive creature—to scratch itself or flip sun-shielding sand on its body." Otherwise these huge animals are basically motionless.

The article goes on to state that because they don't eat while on land during the breeding season, they sleep most of the time. Besides scratching, dirt-flipping, or rolling over, these ponderous animals seldom move.

By contrast, the little ant seems tireless as it goes about its industrious work of storing up food for the colony. The writer of Proverbs commends the diligence of the ant, citing her active ways as a model for people who would live wisely.

There's a spiritual lesson here. Christians who pattern their service after the ant get things done for the Lord. But others, like the elephant seal, scarcely move. They seem to be barely alive spiritually, as if they are conserving their energy for some huge effort later on. But the time to get busy for Christ is now, even though our talents may seem insignificant.

Imitate the ant, not the elephant seal. —Dave Egner

Lord Christ, we humbly ask
Of Thee the power and will
With fear and meekness every task
Of duty to fulfill. —Montgomery

Many Christians do nothing, but no Christian has nothing to do.

Ispirational read . . . let's here it for America and the boys in blue.

Keeping track of the flights and tonnage for each day for not only the record, but for competition between the organizations. The large "Vittles" board recorded statistics for each flight as well as the delivered tonnage. July 1948.
