Hello kids once again we
are out having a great time on
00:00:01.98\00:00:04.16
Grandma's House and I'm
still on vacation in southern
00:00:04.20\00:00:07.47
Illinois and this is Rend Lake.
00:00:07.50\00:00:08.89
We are going to go out
sailing today, have you ever
00:00:08.92\00:00:12.01
been on a sailboat? I
never have. Have you guys?
00:00:12.05\00:00:15.07
Oh you have, well good, I
have some old pros with me.
00:00:15.11\00:00:19.01
Anyway we are about
ready to get on the water.
00:00:19.05\00:00:20.70
Come on along we are going
to have a blast again today.
00:00:20.73\00:00:23.33
Come on let's go boys.
00:00:23.36\00:00:24.77
I'm ready are you
guys? I can't wait.
00:00:43.99\00:00:47.28
Oh alright, Of course
the first issue is safety.
00:00:47.31\00:00:50.77
So let's put some life
jackets on. - will this do?
00:00:50.80\00:00:54.23
I brought my rubber
ducky. - that will work?
00:00:54.26\00:00:56.02
- it will, it
will work real well.
00:00:56.05\00:00:57.48
Alright, I'm ready.
00:00:57.52\00:01:01.00
Gabrielle let's get you
a life jacket. - I'm ready.
00:01:01.04\00:01:05.66
I better put mine on too.
It's a good thing to have.
00:01:05.69\00:01:08.95
You have your rubber ducky
and I've got a life jacket.
00:01:08.98\00:01:12.20
We will be ready to go.
00:01:12.24\00:01:14.13
Alright we are ready. We're
going to get the motor going,
00:01:16.12\00:01:20.30
put the motor out
there, we'll anchor, and then
00:01:20.33\00:01:22.58
we'll put up the sails.
00:01:22.62\00:01:23.59
I'll pull the anchor
and were ready to take off.
00:01:23.60\00:01:25.21
All right, well let's hit it.
00:01:25.24\00:01:27.21
Oh there we go, and we are off.
00:01:29.17\00:01:31.53
They will see you out
on the lake folks, come on!
00:01:31.57\00:01:34.57
Well our captain is dropping
anchor off the front of the
00:01:41.64\00:01:45.15
boat, and he is doing that
because then and he is going
00:01:45.19\00:01:48.67
to put up the sails, and
then we will sail under wind
00:01:48.70\00:01:51.83
power for a while.
00:01:51.87\00:01:53.38
Oh isn't this fun, how
fast are we going do you think?
00:01:57.00\00:01:59.12
Oh not too fast, we
don't want to go too fast.
00:01:59.15\00:02:01.19
Oh it seems fast to me.
00:02:01.23\00:02:04.00
Oh it is a beautiful day for
sailing, look straight up there
00:02:08.76\00:02:11.05
right up the mask
at those blue skies.
00:02:11.09\00:02:13.87
This is the most amazing
thing and we're learning about
00:02:15.89\00:02:18.49
sailing and about
the wind and it's great.
00:02:18.52\00:02:22.65
I just love the water.
00:02:25.36\00:02:27.13
There's some hotshots float
around on our boat on his jet
00:02:46.19\00:02:49.30
skis, you know it
looks awfully enticing to me.
00:02:49.34\00:02:52.78
What about you? I think I
would like to get a ride on
00:02:52.81\00:02:57.02
that thing. What about you?
00:02:57.05\00:02:58.05
Alright how are
we going to do that?
00:02:58.09\00:03:00.57
You think if we waved
him down he might come over?
00:03:00.60\00:03:03.53
Let's try, I'll wave my
hat, oops he's not looking here.
00:03:03.57\00:03:07.52
Look at him go.
00:03:07.56\00:03:08.87
Hi there!
00:03:23.33\00:03:24.93
Hi! - hi! you look like
you are having fun out there.
00:03:29.91\00:03:33.62
It is nice. - It
is a gorgeous day.
00:03:33.66\00:03:35.70
Um, I just wondered what I
would have to do to persuade
00:03:35.73\00:03:38.69
you to take an old grandma
liked me out on the jet skis?
00:03:38.72\00:03:41.65
All you got to do
is leave the duck here.
00:03:41.68\00:03:43.84
I have to leave my duck? -
you have to leave the duck.
00:03:43.88\00:03:45.99
Well I could
probably do that. - let's go.
00:03:46.03\00:03:49.28
Alright could I trade you?.
00:03:49.32\00:03:50.75
Would you hold my hat for
a second and we will get rid
00:03:52.73\00:03:55.09
of this, my
lifelong buddy the duck.
00:03:55.13\00:03:57.56
Thank you, you have to
hang on tight because the wind
00:04:00.06\00:04:02.46
is coming up. -
there you go grandma.
00:04:02.49\00:04:04.15
Alright, thank you.
00:04:04.18\00:04:05.77
I'm taking my sailor
cap with me, look at that.
00:04:07.73\00:04:10.76
From the marina, I
think I'm official now.
00:04:10.79\00:04:13.66
I don't know if I'm
going to lose it on this thing,
00:04:13.70\00:04:16.80
but here I go. How
about a hand up there. - sure.
00:04:16.84\00:04:19.90
Ah, thank you. - you're welcome.
00:04:19.94\00:04:22.34
In my shipshape now
to go? - you are all set.
00:04:22.37\00:04:24.24
Alright here I go.
- Yep I can hold that
00:04:24.28\00:04:27.70
out of your way.
00:04:27.74\00:04:29.01
Come aboard into
our first-class cabin.
00:04:29.05\00:04:34.74
Okay, alright.
Are you back there?
00:04:34.78\00:04:39.95
Do I just grab a
hold, is that the idea?
00:04:39.98\00:04:42.12
Hang on for dear life. -
we're going to go flying.
00:04:42.16\00:04:44.73
He boys I'll be
back after a bit.
00:04:44.77\00:04:48.07
Bye grandma. - bye.
00:04:48.10\00:04:52.50
Whoa!
00:04:55.67\00:04:57.04
Heh Joel, that was
so much fun, thank you.
00:05:49.06\00:05:52.11
Just wondered, could I
drive it by myself do you think?
00:05:52.14\00:05:55.71
You bet. - I could. -
let's switch places and you'll
00:05:55.74\00:05:59.27
be the captain. - alright.
00:05:59.31\00:06:01.03
I'm going to get
off here. - alright.
00:06:01.06\00:06:03.16
Alright you're going to
take that and plug it right
00:06:07.10\00:06:09.30
in the there. -
okay - you are all set.
00:06:09.33\00:06:14.72
Now you just hit the
start button. - that's the start
00:06:14.76\00:06:17.03
button. - you will hit it
once and you should be ready
00:06:17.07\00:06:19.31
to go. And that
is your throttle.
00:06:19.34\00:06:21.46
Alright - see ya!
00:06:21.49\00:06:24.75
Bye grandpa, I might
be back and I might not.
00:06:27.28\00:06:30.44
I'll see you kids later.
00:06:30.48\00:06:32.59
Oh Joel that was so much fun,
thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:07:42.51\00:07:46.07
- no problem. - I
think I'll have to get
00:07:46.10\00:07:47.33
me one of these.
00:07:47.37\00:07:48.67
Ah kids if you are ready
why don't you write down my
00:07:48.70\00:07:51.82
address, I'm going to have
them put it up on the screen
00:07:51.86\00:07:54.49
just any minute now so if
you have your paper and pencil
00:07:54.52\00:07:57.12
here it comes.
00:07:57.16\00:07:59.14
Hey kids Graham Joyce
would love to hear from you.
00:08:01.68\00:08:04.58
So why not sit down
and write her a letter?
00:08:04.61\00:08:07.15
Like every grandma
she loves to get pictures,
00:08:07.18\00:08:09.69
drawings or
anything else you send her.
00:08:09.72\00:08:12.60
Just write to:
00:08:12.63\00:08:14.73
So what are you
waiting for? Write her today.
00:08:25.31\00:08:27.99
Oh my, what did
you think of that?
00:08:31.57\00:08:34.31
Not very grandmotherly huh?
00:08:34.35\00:08:36.73
I don't know what got into me.
00:08:36.76\00:08:39.07
One minute we were sailing
smoothly along, we were in
00:08:39.11\00:08:42.47
harmony with the wind and
the waves and then that little
00:08:42.51\00:08:45.80
sea-do came be bopping
along and changed everything.
00:08:45.84\00:08:49.16
Our quite peaceful afternoon
shattered into a million
00:08:49.20\00:08:52.87
sparkly drops of speed
spray and a roaring engine.
00:08:52.90\00:08:56.50
Oh what was I thinking? It
was really terribly shockingly
00:08:56.54\00:09:02.30
and unladylike of me as
my grandma would have said.
00:09:02.34\00:09:04.97
She would have clucked
her tongue and peered over her
00:09:05.00\00:09:07.59
glasses at me
with great disapproval.
00:09:07.63\00:09:10.05
Well times have
changed and grandma's have too.
00:09:10.08\00:09:13.50
I've been thinking
about my grandma and what was
00:09:13.54\00:09:16.36
the most daring thing
I can remember her doing.
00:09:16.40\00:09:19.15
I think it was a time
when I was about nine years old
00:09:19.19\00:09:22.48
and she came to
visit for a few days.
00:09:22.51\00:09:24.48
One afternoon all the neighbor
hood kids came over to our
00:09:24.51\00:09:28.03
pasture to play baseball
and grandma got right out there
00:09:28.06\00:09:31.54
with the rest of us
and she played first base.
00:09:31.58\00:09:34.51
She was terrific, but best
of all she could really send
00:09:34.54\00:09:40.25
the ball sailing
when she was at bat.
00:09:40.28\00:09:43.22
One of the neighbor boys
told my brother, sit down and
00:09:43.25\00:09:47.33
let your grandma bat,
she can really slug em.
00:09:47.36\00:09:50.06
Oh grandma loved it when
she heard that and she never
00:09:50.10\00:09:53.49
forgot it as long as she lived.
00:09:53.53\00:09:55.35
What about your
grandma and grandpa?
00:09:55.38\00:09:57.93
What is the most daring
thing they have ever done?
00:09:57.97\00:10:00.94
They might surprise
you if you asked them.
00:10:00.98\00:10:03.68
And you should. Well what
is the most daring thing you
00:10:03.71\00:10:07.12
have ever done? I sure
wish you would tell me that
00:10:07.15\00:10:10.45
because I love to hear
about all your adventures too.
00:10:10.49\00:10:13.75
Were you scared when you did it?
00:10:13.79\00:10:15.65
How did you feel after
you accomplished the thing
00:10:15.69\00:10:18.96
you feared? Sometimes we
let being afraid of failure
00:10:19.00\00:10:22.24
stop us from daring to
do something bigger than
00:10:22.27\00:10:24.73
we have ever done before.
00:10:24.77\00:10:26.42
What if we fall flat on our
face and let other people see
00:10:26.46\00:10:28.89
us? oww, will they laugh
or make fun of our efforts?
00:10:28.93\00:10:32.60
Eeek, they might but
how terrible would that be?
00:10:32.63\00:10:36.72
Not much really, we might
get hurt or fall if we try
00:10:36.76\00:10:40.09
something challenging
we have never tried before.
00:10:40.12\00:10:43.68
But we can ask an adult
help us figure out the risks
00:10:43.71\00:10:46.69
before we go jumping off
a cliff or the garage roof.
00:10:46.73\00:10:50.07
Then we could do something
to prevent injury before it
00:10:50.10\00:10:53.98
happens, but if you end up
scraping your knees, so what?
00:10:54.02\00:10:57.63
I'll bet Wilbur and Orval
Wright had a few scrapes knees
00:10:57.67\00:11:01.25
before they got their
first airplane into the air.
00:11:01.29\00:11:03.78
I know everybody who has
ever achieved great a thing has
00:11:03.81\00:11:08.58
had plenty of failures
before they had success.
00:11:08.61\00:11:11.30
So here's the thing about
daring and dreaming, it's in
00:11:11.33\00:11:15.13
our very nature
and God put it there.
00:11:15.16\00:11:16.91
See God is like that too,
He has giant dreams for what
00:11:16.95\00:11:21.29
might be and He dares to
do the most impossible things.
00:11:21.32\00:11:25.62
What's more He
actually does them,
00:11:25.66\00:11:28.24
they are not just dreams to Him.
00:11:28.28\00:11:30.79
Like went He dreamed of
making people in His own image
00:11:30.83\00:11:34.39
and giving them a
whole new world to rule over.
00:11:34.43\00:11:37.92
What it those people
didn't love Him back?
00:11:37.96\00:11:40.23
What if they didn't trust Him?
00:11:40.27\00:11:41.90
It was a daring prospect
He was thinking about because
00:11:41.93\00:11:45.09
the people could choose
to do anything they wanted.
00:11:45.12\00:11:48.24
They might choose to
follow another leader.
00:11:48.28\00:11:51.06
Well God thought it was
worth taking the chance because
00:11:51.10\00:11:55.02
the people He would make
would be so happy with all the
00:11:55.06\00:11:58.95
wonderful things He
would make for them.
00:11:58.99\00:12:01.89
And the wonderful times they
would have together with Him,
00:12:01.93\00:12:04.75
ah, so He dared do the
thing He was dreaming about.
00:12:04.79\00:12:09.00
What an exciting time He
had as He carefully planned and
00:12:09.03\00:12:13.58
built the whole new world.
00:12:13.62\00:12:14.82
Everything just exactly right
and He smiled while He worked.
00:12:14.86\00:12:19.06
When He was ready to make
the people He molded them with
00:12:19.09\00:12:23.36
His own two hands and He
gave them His very own breath
00:12:23.39\00:12:27.57
because He loved them so much
and they were just like Him.
00:12:27.61\00:12:31.76
Then the most
tragic thing happened.
00:12:31.79\00:12:35.28
One day the people were tricked
into believing their enemy
00:12:35.31\00:12:38.53
instead of their Father God.
00:12:38.56\00:12:40.29
It was the saddest day ever
and it looked like God's dream
00:12:40.32\00:12:44.91
had failed, somebody laughed
at Him and made fun of His pain.
00:12:44.95\00:12:49.50
Somebody pointed at God
and said He was a failure.
00:12:49.54\00:12:53.21
That somebody took God's
world and ran off with it,
00:12:53.25\00:12:56.89
just like he owned the place.
00:12:56.92\00:12:58.18
He took all the
people hostage too.
00:12:58.21\00:13:00.47
But did God give up? I
think not. Did He stop dreaming?
00:13:00.50\00:13:06.11
No! Did He pack up His
daring ways and go home?
00:13:06.15\00:13:10.24
Absolutely not! As soon as
the people realized they had
00:13:10.28\00:13:14.20
made a terrible mistake,
they were so sorry and wanted to
00:13:14.23\00:13:18.38
go home again, God dared to
strive right after our kidnapper
00:13:18.41\00:13:22.15
and trounce him into the ground
and let each person choose
00:13:22.19\00:13:25.89
all over again
whom they would trust.
00:13:25.93\00:13:28.49
Yes even God got scraped
knees and bruises on His arms
00:13:28.53\00:13:33.66
as He dared to rescue us
and now He wants you to dream
00:13:33.70\00:13:38.80
and dare to do
something for Him.
00:13:38.83\00:13:40.77
He doesn't care as much
about what it is as that you'd
00:13:40.80\00:13:44.70
dare to do as He cares about
the very fact that you care
00:13:44.73\00:13:48.59
to dream and be just like Him.
00:13:48.62\00:13:51.03
That was His dream in the
first place, and that is His
00:13:51.06\00:13:55.12
dream now for you and
me to be just like Him.
00:13:55.16\00:13:59.76
Oh I like the way he turns, oh!
00:14:03.69\00:14:05.61
