Hi there, I'm Grandma Neal.
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.03
The program
you're about to see shows
00:00:03.07\00:00:05.25
a typical day
for the children in
00:00:05.28\00:00:07.09
my neighborhood, who visit me at
00:00:07.12\00:00:08.88
Grandma's House in
Chehalis, Washington.
00:00:08.91\00:00:11.12
These children are not
actors, they're just being
00:00:11.66\00:00:14.37
themselves as I let
you peek inside our doors.
00:00:14.41\00:00:17.09
What a joy it is
to see them learn
00:00:17.12\00:00:19.23
of Jesus for
the very first time.
00:00:19.26\00:00:21.16
Come on inside and enjoy a
little visit at Grandma's House!
00:00:21.20\00:00:25.26
THEME MUSIC
00:00:26.25\00:00:29.18
SPLASH!
00:00:34.96\00:00:37.00
BOY GIGGLES
00:00:37.04\00:00:39.01
This is Grandma's House!
00:00:39.05\00:00:42.23
Hi there, kids!
00:00:43.65\00:00:45.13
Come on in, we're
cookin' today, cookin' bread.
00:00:45.17\00:00:48.96
I have my favorite
recipe book here, this is an
00:00:48.99\00:00:52.80
old time book, look how
marked up the pages are.
00:00:52.84\00:00:56.62
You can tell
that's my favorite recipe.
00:00:56.65\00:00:59.69
The Bible's a
lot like that, too.
00:00:59.72\00:01:02.07
You can tell in my Bible which
verses I love the best, because
00:01:02.11\00:01:06.99
those pages are a little more
wrinkled and marked up, too.
00:01:07.02\00:01:10.87
The Bible tells us
how to live our lives, and
00:01:10.90\00:01:14.52
this recipe book tells
us how to make bread, right?
00:01:14.55\00:01:18.47
Today we thought it might
be fun to see what happens if
00:01:18.51\00:01:22.43
you throw the recipe book away,
and don't follow the rules.
00:01:22.46\00:01:26.51
We're gonna make
some bread, right Caite?
00:01:26.54\00:01:30.36
I'm gonna show you
all the ingredients I use
00:01:30.39\00:01:34.18
in bread, but I'm not
gonna tell you how much
00:01:34.21\00:01:37.74
You get to make
your own loaf of bread.
00:01:37.77\00:01:40.15
Won't this be fun?
00:01:40.18\00:01:41.29
Flour, of course. I
use some white flour, rye
00:01:41.33\00:01:47.24
flour, whole wheat
flour, and I use some oat flour.
00:01:47.27\00:01:52.80
I love to mix
them together, because
00:01:52.83\00:01:55.24
what's not in one
grain is in another.
00:01:55.28\00:01:57.65
Then I like to put in a
little bit of flax seed.
00:01:57.69\00:02:01.80
We have some soy milk, some
cooking oil, salt, and yeast.
00:02:01.84\00:02:07.70
I think that's
plenty, don't you?
00:02:07.73\00:02:10.34
What we do is we
close the book, and now
00:02:11.20\00:02:13.84
we're gonna have
fun makin' bread, ok?
00:02:13.88\00:02:16.48
Here we go, Catie.
00:02:16.52\00:02:18.73
Are we gonna start with flour?
00:02:18.76\00:02:20.58
Caite: Uh-huh.
00:02:20.62\00:02:22.25
Grandma: Dump it in
00:02:22.29\00:02:23.62
- there, we're
gonna be wild and crazy.
00:02:23.65\00:02:26.15
Some of this and some of that.
00:02:26.18\00:02:28.76
Should I start stirring?
00:02:28.79\00:02:30.91
Caite: You don't
need to stir yet.
00:02:30.95\00:02:34.70
FAST MUSIC
00:02:35.88\00:02:41.86
LAUGHTER AND GIGGLES
00:03:34.18\00:03:38.29
MUSIC CONTINUES
00:03:53.07\00:03:57.82
ARGHHH!
00:04:10.65\00:04:12.20
SLAM!
00:04:12.47\00:04:13.97
SLAM! SLAM! SLAM!
00:04:15.50\00:04:17.70
SLAM!
00:04:18.52\00:04:20.09
BEEP!
00:04:29.71\00:04:31.04
Well, Caite's bread is in
the oven, and we're certainly
00:04:32.10\00:04:35.26
going to have a surprise
with this one, aren't we?
00:04:35.29\00:04:38.04
Wonderful bread, Caite.
00:04:38.07\00:04:39.90
While her bread is
cookin' I'd like to
00:04:39.94\00:04:42.47
show you a treat my
mom used to make for me.
00:04:42.50\00:04:45.27
It's called a Voctandana!
00:04:45.30\00:04:47.59
This is some bread I
already cooked earlier,
00:04:47.63\00:04:50.26
and I'm gonna show
you how this works.
00:04:50.29\00:04:52.43
It's very tricky.
00:04:52.46\00:04:54.25
You have a loaf of fresh bread
00:04:54.29\00:04:56.48
We wrap a towel
around it, like this
00:04:58.16\00:05:02.98
Then you hold it like this.
00:05:03.01\00:05:07.02
Now the trick is to get a
really thin slice of bread
00:05:08.26\00:05:12.11
- so thin you can
almost see through it.
00:05:12.14\00:05:14.98
But, you don't want it
to fall in half, so you
00:05:15.02\00:05:18.64
have to get a good balance,
but make it really thin.
00:05:18.67\00:05:22.57
First I'm going
to cut the heel off.
00:05:22.60\00:05:25.74
That doesn't count.
00:05:25.77\00:05:27.51
Now we have a good
place to start from,
00:05:28.79\00:05:31.19
and now we put butter on it.
00:05:31.22\00:05:33.68
You wanna do that
Caite? Put butter on the loaf?
00:05:33.72\00:05:37.24
After she gets that all on
00:05:40.15\00:05:43.15
there my job is to
00:05:43.18\00:05:45.35
cut the end of the loaf,
and see how thin a slice I get.
00:05:45.38\00:05:50.37
Ummm! I can smell her bread now.
00:05:51.67\00:05:54.01
If we don't follow
the recipe, we just
00:05:54.05\00:05:56.55
don't know what
we're gonna get, do we?
00:05:56.58\00:05:58.99
Life is like that, too, huh?
00:05:59.02\00:06:01.40
If you don't follow
the recipe for life you
00:06:01.43\00:06:03.43
could end up with
somethin' you didn't plan on!
00:06:03.46\00:06:05.43
Ok, are you ready for this?
00:06:05.46\00:06:07.46
When it comes off,
get ready to catch it, ok?
00:06:07.50\00:06:10.25
Caite: With butter
on it? Grandma: Sure.
00:06:10.29\00:06:13.01
Ok, I'm gonna do
the very best I can.
00:06:13.04\00:06:15.49
This is the challenge.
00:06:15.52\00:06:17.00
Oh my, I've got
to be very careful.
00:06:17.04\00:06:19.69
Grandma: Oooo, look at it - oh!
00:06:19.72\00:06:22.34
Now move your hand down a bit.
00:06:25.74\00:06:27.04
There you go, now flip it over!
00:06:29.18\00:06:31.26
Taste it, and
see how good it is.
00:06:31.29\00:06:35.20
Oh, this was so much
fun when I was a girl.
00:06:35.24\00:06:37.90
You know, I smell bread again
00:06:37.93\00:06:39.09
- do you think we
ought to check on it?
00:06:39.12\00:06:41.02
Caite: If you want to.
00:06:41.05\00:06:43.55
Grandma: I think I
should, because I see
00:06:43.59\00:06:46.30
some funny colored
steam coming out of the oven!
00:06:46.33\00:06:48.80
I think we should
go look, don't you?
00:06:48.83\00:06:50.85
Let's check on it.
00:06:50.88\00:06:53.88
Stand back a bit.
00:06:53.92\00:06:56.85
Is it good? What do you think?
00:06:56.89\00:06:58.50
Not bad, huh?
That's a great treat.
00:06:58.54\00:07:01.35
Now lets see how her
bread is coming along.
00:07:01.39\00:07:04.71
Come on over
here and take a look.
00:07:04.74\00:07:07.73
Grandma: Woah!
00:07:10.66\00:07:13.53
Oh, it's cookin'.
00:07:14.39\00:07:17.57
Shall we pull it
out and take a look?
00:07:17.61\00:07:19.92
Caite: Looks done to me.
00:07:22.14\00:07:24.10
Grandma: Well, the
flour looks done, but
00:07:24.13\00:07:26.30
it's not quite done,
it's a little too soft.
00:07:26.33\00:07:29.32
Grandma: Shall we
put it back in some more?
00:07:29.76\00:07:32.56
Caite: First let's
take some of the flour off.
00:07:33.52\00:07:35.67
How would we do that?
00:07:35.70\00:07:38.53
Caite: The vacuum?
Grandma: The vacuum?
00:07:43.14\00:07:46.06
GRANDMA LAUGHS
00:07:46.09\00:07:48.45
Grandma: Why not?
Let's get the vacuum!
00:07:48.49\00:07:50.99
VACUUM CLEANER SOUND
00:07:51.02\00:07:53.18
Oh, you should see this!
00:08:02.07\00:08:04.08
Grandma: Oh my! Caite: It's FUN!
00:08:08.56\00:08:11.53
There are more ways
then one to skin a cat!
00:08:11.57\00:08:15.37
Grandma: Ok, are we
ready to put it on the counter?
00:08:16.95\00:08:22.79
There we go.
00:08:22.82\00:08:24.94
Ok, what do you
think of our bread?
00:08:28.86\00:08:30.70
It looks pretty
interesting, don'tcha think?
00:08:31.46\00:08:34.50
Kind of ugly?
00:08:34.53\00:08:35.74
Let's take it out of the
pan, and see if we can slice the
00:08:35.77\00:08:39.87
bread. Ready to try it? Caite:
00:08:39.90\00:08:41.25
Yeah. Oh my!
00:08:42.38\00:08:44.28
Ok, back over
00:08:44.32\00:08:47.32
Caite: Can I cut it?
00:08:47.36\00:08:49.12
Grandma: Alright, cut a slice
00:08:49.34\00:08:51.11
Grandma: It's very soft
bread, I'll have to say that.
00:08:57.25\00:09:00.68
You want to try it?
00:09:00.71\00:09:01.97
Caite: You try it!
00:09:04.23\00:09:05.39
Grandma: Oh, YOU try it!
00:09:05.43\00:09:06.80
GRANDMA LAUGHS
00:09:06.84\00:09:09.23
Is it good?
00:09:12.47\00:09:14.03
See what happens when
you don't follow the recipe.
00:09:14.06\00:09:17.59
Can I have a little taste?
00:09:18.44\00:09:19.99
Caite: Sure!
00:09:20.03\00:09:21.44
Well, I have to say it's quite
interesting, I'll say that.
00:09:25.01\00:09:29.72
This is interesting bread.
00:09:31.26\00:09:35.33
Thank you, Caite!
00:09:35.36\00:09:36.55
While Caite's
cutting up the bread,
00:09:36.58\00:09:39.41
I'd be glad to
give you my address.
00:09:39.44\00:09:41.97
I'd love to hear from
you, and you know I do!
00:09:42.01\00:09:44.48
So if you've got a pencil
and paper ready, here it is.
00:09:44.52\00:09:47.17
Write it down!
00:09:47.20\00:09:48.17
Announcer: Hey kids, Grandma
Neal would love to hear from
00:09:48.71\00:09:51.13
you. She loves to get
pictures, drawings, and
00:09:51.16\00:09:53.08
anything else you
may want to send to her.
00:09:53.12\00:09:55.16
She also answers each
one of your letters, so
00:09:55.20\00:09:57.17
get your pen ready and
write down our address, ok?
00:09:57.21\00:10:01.09
If you want to write her
a letter, address it to...
00:10:01.12\00:10:04.96
Grandma also loves
to get emails at...
00:10:18.49\00:10:21.70
She'd love to hear from you!
00:10:29.61\00:10:30.93
Whew, the kitchen's
finally clean and shiny again.
00:10:32.84\00:10:37.50
I love havin' kids bake with me,
00:10:37.54\00:10:39.97
and then getting to
eat what we've made.
00:10:40.00\00:10:42.74
What things do you like to cook?
00:10:42.78\00:10:45.01
Do you make the same kind
of bread that we made today?
00:10:45.05\00:10:47.54
When I was young, my
mom made bread every week
00:10:47.58\00:10:51.33
And sometimes she made cinnamon
rolls for special treats.
00:10:51.36\00:10:54.31
When they were still
warm, I loved to grab
00:10:54.34\00:10:57.00
one and share it with
my best friend next door.
00:10:57.03\00:11:00.25
I wonder, did you
notice my cookbook today?
00:11:00.28\00:11:03.45
I've used it often,
and it looks like it.
00:11:03.48\00:11:06.58
The pages of my favorite recipes
have the most stains on them.
00:11:06.61\00:11:09.93
Some of the
pages are coming loose,
00:11:09.96\00:11:12.52
and I've made lots
of notes to myself.
00:11:12.55\00:11:15.15
You need a good cookbook to
learn how to make great food.
00:11:15.18\00:11:18.68
It takes time before you
know just which ingredients
00:11:18.71\00:11:22.08
taste good blended together.
00:11:22.11\00:11:24.31
When you're learning you need
00:11:24.45\00:11:25.78
a book to teach you how to
00:11:25.82\00:11:27.12
stir, mix and bake.
00:11:27.15\00:11:29.01
You know how hot to cook it, and
you need to know for how long!
00:11:29.04\00:11:34.21
My old recipe book has taught me
00:11:34.25\00:11:36.94
many things about
making good bread.
00:11:36.97\00:11:39.96
I was thinking today how
much life is like making bread.
00:11:40.00\00:11:43.86
If you wanna make good bread,
you have to put in good stuff
00:11:43.90\00:11:47.72
Well, if you want a
happy life, you have to be
00:11:47.76\00:11:51.03
just as careful to put
in only good things, too.
00:11:51.06\00:11:54.34
That's why I have
this book in my library.
00:11:54.37\00:11:58.46
I use it every day.
00:11:58.49\00:11:59.46
It's very much like
a recipe book for life.
00:11:59.47\00:12:03.39
It's called The Bible.
00:12:03.43\00:12:06.05
Let's say somebody
doesn't have any friends.
00:12:06.09\00:12:09.54
What do you think you should do?
00:12:09.58\00:12:10.66
Well, look at Proverbs 18:24.
00:12:10.70\00:12:16.26
It says, if you want
friends, you must be friendly.
00:12:16.29\00:12:20.51
And it promises that
there are friends out
00:12:20.55\00:12:23.09
there who will stick
closer than a brother.
00:12:23.12\00:12:25.58
Back here it says that a
friend loves at all times.
00:12:25.61\00:12:30.89
That means that if
somebody's nice only
00:12:30.93\00:12:33.87
some of the time,
they're not a true friend.
00:12:33.90\00:12:37.05
Over here in Proverbs
27:6 it says, "Faithful are the
00:12:37.08\00:12:42.25
wounds of a friend, but the
00:12:42.28\00:12:44.66
kisses of an
enemy are deceitful. "
00:12:44.69\00:12:47.69
What does that mean?
00:12:47.73\00:12:49.26
Hmmmm.
00:12:49.30\00:12:51.10
I could tell you what
I think, but I would much
00:12:51.14\00:12:53.80
rather have you think about
it and decide for yourself.
00:12:53.83\00:12:57.25
A good way to do this is
by asking God what He meant.
00:12:57.29\00:13:00.70
After all, the
Bible is God's word.
00:13:00.73\00:13:04.92
You could also ask
someone else who loves
00:13:04.95\00:13:06.56
the Bible to tell
you what they think.
00:13:06.59\00:13:07.94
But if you do, make sure to
ask several "somebody else's. "
00:13:07.97\00:13:12.87
Don't take just one
person's thoughts as your own.
00:13:12.91\00:13:16.05
Do lots of research
before you make up your mind.
00:13:16.08\00:13:19.10
Another good way to
understand the Bible is to
00:13:19.14\00:13:22.12
just start reading it
a little bit every day.
00:13:22.15\00:13:26.07
Always ask God first
to help you understand it.
00:13:26.10\00:13:30.01
Will you do that?
00:13:30.05\00:13:31.02
And when you
think you know what this
00:13:31.03\00:13:32.76
verse means, would
you write and tell me?
00:13:32.79\00:13:34.55
I can't wait to read what you
have to say about Proverbs 27:6.
00:13:34.58\00:13:40.39
Aww, look at the time again
00:13:40.43\00:13:42.33
- I have enjoyed your visit,
but it's always over too soon.
00:13:42.36\00:13:46.58
I love being able to
talk to you like an adult.
00:13:46.61\00:13:50.54
You are so smart and able
to figure out hard things.
00:13:50.57\00:13:54.40
It's just plain
fun to be with you.
00:13:54.44\00:13:57.07
Till next time,
remember that you
00:13:57.10\00:13:59.70
make my heart
happy, and I love you!
00:13:59.73\00:14:03.90
My bread, it turned out squishy!
00:14:07.67\00:14:11.58
I didn't really like it.
00:14:11.61\00:14:13.25
But my friends
at school don't know
00:14:13.28\00:14:16.19
that, because
I'm giving them some!
00:14:16.22\00:14:18.90
I think I added a little
too much oil and honey and sugar
00:14:18.93\00:14:23.86
It just tasted kinda sweet
00:14:25.09\00:14:27.95
It's just a little too - weird!
00:14:27.98\00:14:29.75
