Ah, once again Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star launches her two helicopters on another Sunday somewhere off the coast of Antarctica. The novelty of the joke that our weekend holiday routine should be called helo-day routine has long since worn off. Penguins must be studied, cargo must be conveyed, scientists must come and go, and ship s work must go on. Each day the weather grows a bit colder and the wind blows a bit harder.

God worked wonders in bringing forth solid Christian leaders, enthusiastic worshippers, motivated song-leaders, making time for meetings, support from our Executive Officer, and participation from our Commanding Officer. I am excited about where we travelled, and where many of our people are headed now. Often the morning knows not what the afternoon will bring. Canceling Sunday service is all too tempting. Helo-day routine presents the devil s excuse to cancel plans.
