I'm really looking forward
to mail man Kenny coming today
00:00:03.96\00:00:06.75
because he's going to have
a package in the mail for me.
00:00:06.79\00:00:09.55
So, I'm eager to
see when he'll get here.
00:00:09.72\00:00:12.75
It's 10.30 now, and he usually
gets here any time between
00:00:12.79\00:00:16.52
10.30, or closer to 11,
so I shouldn't be concerned
00:00:16.55\00:00:20.16
because he's always on time,
and he's always dependable,
00:00:20.20\00:00:23.48
rain or shine, but I just
really want my package to come.
00:00:23.52\00:00:26.77
Well, I'm sure
he'll be here any minute.
00:00:29.29\00:00:32.01
Have you ever really looked
forward to something coming,
00:00:33.93\00:00:36.68
like I'm right now?
00:00:36.88\00:00:38.78
You really just can't
wait for it to happen, right?
00:00:39.46\00:00:42.07
I think I'll look again.
00:00:42.10\00:00:43.83
He's there, and I think
he's actually a little bit
00:00:45.32\00:00:47.86
earlier than usual, so
I'm going to check if he can
00:00:47.89\00:00:50.40
have time to come
in for a little visit.
00:00:50.43\00:00:53.05
[Music for Credits]
00:00:55.67\00:00:58.17
It's so good to see you again.
00:01:01.50\00:01:05.77
Come up for a visit my friend.
00:01:05.97\00:01:09.93
There's so much to
do, I have so many things
00:01:10.32\00:01:13.68
planned for you.
00:01:13.98\00:01:17.22
We'll laugh and we'll play,
00:01:18.84\00:01:21.01
we'll sing and we'll pray.
00:01:21.11\00:01:23.10
I'll tell you a story or 2
00:01:23.35\00:01:27.11
and we'll be friends, you and I,
00:01:27.75\00:01:31.84
yes, you and I and Jesus.
00:01:32.11\00:01:38.62
I'm happy
you're here once again.
00:01:40.82\00:01:44.60
It's so nice to
have you as my friend.
00:01:44.87\00:01:49.43
Before I introduce you
to mail man Kenny, I want to
00:01:52.12\00:01:54.47
remind you about
the mystery word, Ok?
00:01:54.50\00:01:56.93
Remember the keywords that I
say will come up on this side,
00:01:56.97\00:02:00.19
and then the important letter
will be bigger and brighter,
00:02:00.29\00:02:03.33
and it'll jump out and
come right over into the
00:02:03.60\00:02:06.13
correct spot in
the mystery word.
00:02:06.16\00:02:08.29
It looks like today's
mystery word has 8 letters.
00:02:08.39\00:02:11.44
So, are you ready to
start? Pay real close attention.
00:02:11.47\00:02:14.49
Well, mailman Kenny, I'd like
to introduce you to my friends.
00:02:14.73\00:02:17.85
Hi there.
00:02:17.88\00:02:18.96
And it looks like you've
brought my package for me.
00:02:19.00\00:02:21.61
You been looking for this?
00:02:21.84\00:02:22.81
Oh, have I ever.
Oh, and a letter too.
00:02:22.84\00:02:25.20
Yeah, you've got
a letter there also.
00:02:25.23\00:02:27.52
I didn't expect that
letter, that's great.
00:02:27.56\00:02:29.61
Well, I've been wondering.
When do you start working?
00:02:29.65\00:02:32.75
When do you finish each day?
00:02:32.78\00:02:34.48
Well, we start about 7
o'clock in the morning.
00:02:35.05\00:02:37.54
Early.
00:02:37.57\00:02:38.54
I spend about 3 hours in office,
casing mail, before I ever
00:02:38.58\00:02:44.24
get ready to go
out on the route.
00:02:44.27\00:02:45.77
We finish about 3.30 in the
afternoon, something like that.
00:02:45.85\00:02:50.07
Now, what's "casing mail"?
00:02:50.10\00:02:52.04
Well, that's when we get
the mail, it comes in trays,
00:02:52.27\00:02:55.60
and it's set on our case, and
in our case we have partitions
00:02:56.21\00:03:02.59
and all the house
numbers, street numbers,
00:03:03.56\00:03:06.38
are printed on that.
When I pick up the mail
00:03:06.42\00:03:09.21
I take my mail and look at
it, and I'll look at the street
00:03:09.31\00:03:12.78
address and then I
find that spot on my case
00:03:12.81\00:03:15.96
and put it in there, and
then I have to do all my letters
00:03:16.77\00:03:19.06
and magazines like that too.
00:03:19.16\00:03:22.22
When I get this all done,
then I pull it out in delivery
00:03:22.61\00:03:26.91
sequence and put it in
trays and put it in my truck
00:03:26.94\00:03:30.31
and away I go.
00:03:30.41\00:03:31.57
So it's like it's in order,
to make it easier for you.
00:03:31.61\00:03:34.47
Right.
00:03:34.50\00:03:35.79
Well, that makes sense. I
wondered how you did that.
00:03:35.83\00:03:38.65
Do you go to the
same houses every day?
00:03:38.91\00:03:41.06
Just about. I've been
on the route now 29 years.
00:03:41.10\00:03:45.28
- Really? - Yes.
00:03:45.31\00:03:46.76
Now you said first you
spend your 3 hours in the office
00:03:48.01\00:03:50.72
and then once you
get out you get going.
00:03:50.75\00:03:52.52
What about if you
got tired along the way
00:03:52.56\00:03:54.26
and you just, say it was a
hot day, you just wanted to take
00:03:54.30\00:03:57.61
a nap in the shade of a
nice tree for an hour or so,
00:03:57.64\00:04:00.49
can you do that?
00:04:00.52\00:04:01.49
I'm afraid that'd be out
of the question because we've
00:04:01.50\00:04:03.09
got just so much
time to deliver the mail
00:04:03.12\00:04:05.06
and we have to be on time.
00:04:05.09\00:04:06.39
People expect us, about the
same time, like you probably
00:04:06.43\00:04:10.51
did today.
00:04:10.54\00:04:11.51
Yeah, I was expecting
you about the same time
00:04:11.52\00:04:13.74
because you seem to always
get here about the same time.
00:04:13.78\00:04:16.20
I've had people tell me
they can set their clock by me.
00:04:16.24\00:04:18.63
Really?
00:04:18.66\00:04:19.63
So that's what people
are counting, dependability,
00:04:19.64\00:04:21.35
they entrust us with their
mail and we like to give them
00:04:21.39\00:04:25.59
the service
because they deserve it.
00:04:25.99\00:04:28.04
What's the most important
kind of mail that you deliver?
00:04:28.66\00:04:31.38
Probably the most important
would be registered mail
00:04:31.88\00:04:35.16
where someone is sending cash
or bonds, something like that,
00:04:35.20\00:04:38.86
jewelry through the mail,
but to me it's all important,
00:04:38.89\00:04:42.03
whether it's a post
card, or registered mail,
00:04:42.06\00:04:44.63
or any kind of mail because
people have entrusted it,
00:04:44.67\00:04:48.10
whether it's a child or a
grown up, they give it to us
00:04:48.47\00:04:51.53
and they depend upon us to
get it there to the destination.
00:04:51.57\00:04:54.64
I like to give my
people good service.
00:04:54.93\00:04:57.50
I've become more of a
friend and part of their lives,
00:04:57.63\00:05:01.02
I like it to be that way.
00:05:01.40\00:05:02.70
Well, I don't want to keep
you if someone's setting their
00:05:04.05\00:05:06.92
clock by you, so
thank you for coming day.
00:05:06.95\00:05:10.66
It's quite alright.
00:05:10.70\00:05:11.67
Don't get too hot out there.
00:05:11.71\00:05:13.31
I won't, thank you.
00:05:13.34\00:05:15.24
- Ok, bye-bye. - Bye.
00:05:15.27\00:05:17.14
Well, I'm not going to
wait any longer to open this up.
00:05:17.83\00:05:21.31
I can hardly wait to
see what it looks like.
00:05:21.34\00:05:24.08
You know what it is that
I ordered, did I tell you?
00:05:25.79\00:05:28.47
Do you want to
guess? It's a book.
00:05:28.72\00:05:30.57
And it's an appointment
book. It's just the blue
00:05:31.15\00:05:34.15
that I wanted, good. I
wasn't sure what the blue
00:05:34.18\00:05:37.21
would look like. Oh,
this book is going to be
00:05:37.24\00:05:40.20
so great, it'll help me
to be so much more organized
00:05:40.24\00:05:43.86
because it has a page with
each day so you can keep track
00:05:44.28\00:05:48.63
of what you need to do that day.
00:05:48.66\00:05:50.70
Back here is where you
can put people's addresses
00:05:50.74\00:05:54.39
and phone numbers, and then
here you can keep track of any
00:05:54.43\00:05:57.80
specific projects you
need to do, this is great.
00:05:57.83\00:06:01.27
Then this is just a little
scratch pad, oh, there's even
00:06:01.31\00:06:05.26
a little zip lock that I can
put receipts, or something in.
00:06:05.29\00:06:09.21
It's so nice to be organized.
Do you know what I want to do?
00:06:09.44\00:06:12.47
I think that God talks
about being dependable,
00:06:13.45\00:06:17.33
and I know there's a text
in Luke somewhere, and I'm
00:06:18.53\00:06:21.83
just thinking that if I
look it up and read it to you.
00:06:21.87\00:06:25.14
It's Luke 16:10,
this is wonderful:
00:06:25.37\00:06:29.54
"Whoever can be
trusted with very little"
00:06:29.58\00:06:32.46
"can also be trusted with much",
and that's what I'm hoping
00:06:32.66\00:06:36.51
this book will help me
do, to be more dependable.
00:06:36.54\00:06:39.76
That's neat, trustworthiness,
that's important, isn't it?
00:06:40.04\00:06:43.86
You know what I want to
do? I'm going to write down
00:06:44.16\00:06:46.29
right here, Luke
16:10, and then later on
00:06:46.32\00:06:51.94
I'm going to remember to print
it somewhere nice in this book.
00:06:51.98\00:06:56.73
Oh, my letter! I
almost forgot about my letter.
00:06:57.22\00:07:00.12
Dear Janice. I
have a surprise for you.
00:07:03.74\00:07:06.67
I will arrive at 4
o'clock, see you soon.
00:07:06.71\00:07:09.61
I'm not going to
tell you who it's from.
00:07:11.16\00:07:13.48
Shall we see if
this person is dependable
00:07:13.51\00:07:15.80
and if they
arrive right on time?
00:07:16.11\00:07:18.46
Ranger Connie, I'd
like you to meet my friends.
00:07:26.14\00:07:28.50
Hi.
00:07:28.53\00:07:29.50
What can you tell us about the
tides, and how the tides work?
00:07:29.51\00:07:32.72
Well, the tides work because
of the gravity of the Moon
00:07:32.75\00:07:35.93
and the rotation of the Earth.
As the Earth rotates around,
00:07:35.97\00:07:38.77
the Moon pulls on the Earth,
and whatever side of the Earth
00:07:38.81\00:07:41.69
that's closest to the Moon,
the Moon pulls all the water
00:07:41.73\00:07:44.55
to that side and creates a
high tide, and the low tides
00:07:44.59\00:07:47.38
are on the opposite side.
00:07:47.41\00:07:48.81
Ok, so then, how many
times a day or a week,
00:07:48.85\00:07:52.28
will the tide
come in and go out?
00:07:52.31\00:07:54.20
There's 2 high tides and 2
low tides in a 24 hour period.
00:07:54.40\00:07:58.19
- Every day? - Every day.
00:07:58.22\00:08:00.05
Can you be sure
that will happen always?
00:08:01.07\00:08:03.55
Yes, that
happens every single day,
00:08:03.65\00:08:06.14
and it's predictable,
the phases of the Moon,
00:08:06.18\00:08:08.67
so we can predict
it years in advance.
00:08:08.72\00:08:11.06
Years in advance? So
you can pretty well know
00:08:11.10\00:08:13.00
what time the time will come
in next week on a certain day?
00:08:13.04\00:08:16.06
Yeah. The tide books are
available, and you can get those
00:08:16.09\00:08:19.08
at book stores or bait
shops, that sort of thing.
00:08:19.11\00:08:22.38
I bet fishermen and
boaters study the tide.
00:08:22.48\00:08:24.67
Definitely need to know those.
00:08:24.70\00:08:27.65
What do the tides effect
little animals that live around
00:08:27.85\00:08:30.91
in the ocean.
00:08:30.94\00:08:31.91
All the critters that
like right in this area here,
00:08:31.92\00:08:35.06
you have a good
example here of the barnacles
00:08:35.09\00:08:37.54
and some muscles and limpets.
00:08:37.57\00:08:40.40
Which are the barnacles?
00:08:40.43\00:08:41.55
The barnacles are
these little guys.
00:08:41.59\00:08:43.56
They're called "Buckshot
Barnacles", and then you have
00:08:43.60\00:08:47.75
these here, are limpets,
and these dark ones in here
00:08:47.78\00:08:51.90
are muscles,
they're little baby muscles.
00:08:51.93\00:08:54.05
Okay.
00:08:54.25\00:08:55.22
These guys depend on the tides
too because right now there's no
00:08:55.23\00:08:59.22
water around them,
but as the tide comes in,
00:08:59.25\00:09:01.82
they're going to get wet,
and the water will bring in food
00:09:02.59\00:09:05.21
for them to feed on, and
also bring in more moisture,
00:09:05.24\00:09:09.34
although with the
rain they don't need it.
00:09:09.37\00:09:11.44
But maybe the rain is the
wrong kind of water, perhaps?
00:09:11.48\00:09:13.53
Exactly.
00:09:13.56\00:09:15.16
They need to have salt
water, and when the fresh water
00:09:15.20\00:09:17.87
comes in, they need to have the
salt levels higher than this.
00:09:17.91\00:09:22.55
So even the rain
washes the salt off them.
00:09:23.27\00:09:25.91
Oh yeah.
00:09:25.94\00:09:26.91
And you said the salt water
has little bits of food in it
00:09:27.19\00:09:29.56
- for them. - Right,
little microorganisms.
00:09:29.59\00:09:32.17
How does food
get into a barnacle?
00:09:32.46\00:09:34.74
These are little guys
here, the animal's actually
00:09:35.93\00:09:39.60
down inside of that and
they are shaped like a triangle,
00:09:39.64\00:09:44.35
a cone, and they open up
a little bit and they have
00:09:44.38\00:09:47.49
a feeder, they have an
arm that comes out and sweeps
00:09:47.69\00:09:50.13
at the water, it
looks like a big feather,
00:09:50.16\00:09:52.34
and it'll sweep out all of the
nutrients and the microorganisms
00:09:52.56\00:09:56.04
to feed on.
00:09:56.07\00:09:57.04
And then take it into
it's house and eat it?
00:09:57.05\00:09:58.37
Yep.
00:09:58.40\00:09:59.91
Well I think
that's neat that tomorrow
00:10:00.44\00:10:02.18
God's going to
bring the tide in again
00:10:02.21\00:10:03.88
for those barnacles and
all those little creatures.
00:10:03.92\00:10:06.81
The tide comes
in, the tide goes out.
00:10:10.54\00:10:14.46
Tomorrow God will do it again.
00:10:14.67\00:10:18.21
The geese come
in, the geese go out,
00:10:18.71\00:10:22.86
next year God will do it again.
00:10:22.89\00:10:26.72
They know where to
go, and the route to take,
00:10:27.06\00:10:31.01
just like the ocean
with it's big big waves.
00:10:31.30\00:10:35.40
Things grow up, things grow out,
00:10:35.50\00:10:39.75
tomorrow God will do it again.
00:10:39.79\00:10:44.01
Hey kids, if you love all
the fun things you get to do
00:10:44.94\00:10:47.94
with Janice and her
friends, you'll flip over this:
00:10:47.98\00:10:50.95
It's Janice's activity book.
00:10:51.12\00:10:53.29
Loaded with fun, this
book teaches scripture through
00:10:53.33\00:10:56.78
mazes, puzzles, dot to
dot games, coloring and more.
00:10:56.82\00:11:00.24
And the best part is it's free.
00:11:00.39\00:11:03.06
Let's take a look inside.
The scripture on this page says:
00:11:03.60\00:11:06.72
[text on screen]
00:11:06.75\00:11:08.70
Now, let's circle the
pictures that are the same.
00:11:11.39\00:11:14.09
That's right,
you've got the idea.
00:11:14.55\00:11:17.05
There are many more fun
filled activities in this book,
00:11:17.09\00:11:19.70
just waiting for you.
By the way, did I mention
00:11:19.73\00:11:22.81
it's free.
00:11:23.30\00:11:24.83
To get your very own
copy, have your mom or dad
00:11:25.14\00:11:27.49
write to or call:

00:11:27.52\00:11:29.99
Don't wait, order yours today.
00:11:41.75\00:11:44.79
- Hi, Doctor
Neblett. - Hi Janice.
00:11:46.16\00:11:48.00
- I'm sure you're dependable.
- I'm delighted to be here.
00:11:48.04\00:11:51.14
You know what? We
just came from the ocean,
00:11:51.39\00:11:53.33
and Ranger Connie was
there, and she was explaining
00:11:53.37\00:11:56.00
the tides to us, and
how they work: fascinating!
00:11:56.04\00:11:59.08
They just come in and out
every day, like clockwork.
00:11:59.12\00:12:02.13
You mean, it's very dependable.
00:12:02.33\00:12:03.72
- Exactly. -
There's something else
00:12:03.76\00:12:05.04
that's very dependable,
it's about as big as your fist.
00:12:05.08\00:12:08.34
- As my fist or your
fist? - My fist and your fist?
00:12:08.38\00:12:11.61
- Well, what about
their fist? - There's too.
00:12:11.64\00:12:14.07
What do you think it would be?
00:12:14.10\00:12:15.30
- You tell me.
- It's your heart.
00:12:15.72\00:12:17.98
Neat. Tell me about it.
00:12:18.37\00:12:19.64
Your heart is in the
center of your chest,
00:12:19.68\00:12:21.77
let's use Frank as our
model here, let me take this
00:12:21.81\00:12:24.28
off very quickly, and this is
just like what my body is like
00:12:24.32\00:12:27.32
- inside. - That's right.
00:12:27.35\00:12:28.97
And here, in the center
of your chest, is your heart.
00:12:29.01\00:12:32.41
Everyone's heart is
about as big as their fist.
00:12:32.65\00:12:35.44
Your heart is
made up of a muscle.
00:12:36.01\00:12:38.42
Let me show you right
here, there are 4 chambers
00:12:38.81\00:12:40.94
to your heart,
let me open them up,
00:12:40.97\00:12:43.60
All of this inside
the size of their fist?
00:12:43.64\00:12:47.42
That's right, and what's really
important are these valves
00:12:47.46\00:12:50.91
right here, because they
allow the blood to only move
00:12:50.94\00:12:53.80
in 1 direction as the heart is
pumping the blood in your body.
00:12:53.84\00:12:57.10
Why does the heart
need to pump the blood?
00:12:57.71\00:12:59.65
Well, it if didn't
work, we wouldn't work at all.
00:12:59.69\00:13:03.77
Now, let me show you
how dependable this pump is.
00:13:04.11\00:13:07.04
Right here I have a
model in front of me.
00:13:07.63\00:13:09.67
It has a valve in it,
just like the heart does.
00:13:12.81\00:13:15.69
It only allows the,
in this case, red fluid,
00:13:15.73\00:13:18.54
it looks like blood, to
move only in 1 direction.
00:13:18.58\00:13:20.99
I'm going to hold this end
down to make sure it works.
00:13:21.11\00:13:23.42
Let's see what
happens when I pump.
00:13:23.55\00:13:25.82
Oh, it comes out, sure enough.
00:13:26.90\00:13:28.69
That's exactly the
way our heart works.
00:13:28.73\00:13:30.86
It pumps blood from one end
to the other, and the valves
00:13:30.90\00:13:34.26
don't allow it to go
back, it's very important.
00:13:34.29\00:13:36.35
So they're kind of like
those doors in shopping centers
00:13:36.39\00:13:39.54
- that only open one way.
- Like a trap door, exactly.
00:13:39.58\00:13:42.33
Now, there's something very
important, we have to remember
00:13:42.37\00:13:45.09
to keep this heart
healthy and strong.
00:13:45.12\00:13:47.39
I'll say, if
it's that important.
00:13:47.42\00:13:48.92
That's right, we do that
with exercise, and we do that
00:13:48.96\00:13:51.06
with eating the right foods.
00:13:51.09\00:13:52.77
Very important.
Why do we need blood
00:13:52.93\00:13:55.04
to be pumped
throughout our bodies?
00:13:55.08\00:13:57.16
Why is that important?
00:13:57.98\00:13:58.95
Well, this heart is very
important to pump the blood
00:13:58.96\00:14:01.93
that caries oxygen out
into our tissues and it brings
00:14:02.13\00:14:05.77
back carbon dioxide that
we breathe out into the air.
00:14:05.81\00:14:09.42
That's what our heart
does, and it makes sure
00:14:09.66\00:14:11.63
that all of our
organs work beautifully.
00:14:11.66\00:14:14.88
If it weren't for the
blood, we wouldn't have oxygen
00:14:15.09\00:14:17.53
and we wouldn't live.
00:14:17.56\00:14:18.93
That's why it's so
important that it be dependable,
00:14:18.97\00:14:21.31
and it is, it beats
60-80 times every minute,
00:14:21.34\00:14:24.54
as long as you live.
00:14:24.57\00:14:26.93
And you never
have to think about it.
00:14:27.03\00:14:29.04
You don't, God
made is very dependable.
00:14:29.08\00:14:30.85
Well, I think we
better take good care
00:14:30.89\00:14:32.63
- of our heart pumps
then. - I think we should.
00:14:32.67\00:14:35.41
Now, there's something
that I do when I take care
00:14:36.57\00:14:39.45
of patients; I use this.
00:14:39.48\00:14:41.21
- Oh, what's this called? -
This is called a stethoscope.
00:14:41.25\00:14:44.15
I put this end in my
ears, and you put that end
00:14:44.48\00:14:47.59
over your heart,
remember where it is.
00:14:47.62\00:14:50.07
- Right over
here? - That's right.
00:14:50.11\00:14:52.53
Can you hear anything?
00:14:53.17\00:14:54.16
I sure can.
00:14:54.36\00:14:55.76
I can hear your heart
beat. [Sound of heart beating]
00:14:55.80\00:15:01.11
If you use a stethoscope
you can hear your heart beat:
00:15:01.74\00:15:04.89
pump pump pump pump.
00:15:04.92\00:15:07.68
The valves open up and
close with the back beat:
00:15:07.72\00:15:11.01
pump pump pump pump.
00:15:11.04\00:15:13.82
From toes to
tummy, and heart to head,
00:15:13.96\00:15:16.77
when you're playing outside,
when you're sleeping in bed,
00:15:16.81\00:15:19.91
that heart keeps
pumping your blood so red.
00:15:19.94\00:15:22.89
It's so dependable God has said.
00:15:22.92\00:15:29.26
Pump pump, God has said.
00:15:29.29\00:15:32.27
So dependable, pump pump pump.
00:15:32.47\00:15:35.67
Well Mr. Molder, I just love
coming and seeing God's animals,
00:15:40.19\00:15:43.44
and the LA Zoo is a wonderful
place to come, isn't it?
00:15:43.64\00:15:46.30
- What are those ones? -
Those are ring tailed lemurs
00:15:46.52\00:15:49.32
from Madagascar.
00:15:49.52\00:15:50.51
They're so beautiful.
It almost seems like they
00:15:50.71\00:15:53.21
depend on each
other and stay together.
00:15:53.24\00:15:55.69
- They do. - Are
there any other animals
00:15:55.87\00:15:57.84
that you can tell me about
that depend on one another?
00:15:57.88\00:16:00.70
There's the meerkat,
and that's right here.
00:16:00.73\00:16:03.41
You see him
watching the sky there?
00:16:04.36\00:16:07.11
He's watching for predators
and all the rest of them
00:16:08.07\00:16:12.37
can go around their
business and he's the look out.
00:16:12.40\00:16:16.77
So you're saying that one of
them stands guard so the others
00:16:16.81\00:16:20.14
can play and have a
nice, relaxing time?
00:16:20.17\00:16:22.62
Well, it keeps
the all of them safe.
00:16:22.65\00:16:25.07
That's wonderful.
00:16:25.33\00:16:27.05
Tell me, what do meerkats eat?
00:16:27.09\00:16:29.20
They eat lizards
and snakes and insects.
00:16:29.44\00:16:33.22
They don't seem
to be vegetarians,
00:16:33.99\00:16:36.15
but they seem to
like those animals.
00:16:36.18\00:16:38.27
What kind of danger is the
little meerkat watching for
00:16:38.31\00:16:41.69
right now?
00:16:41.72\00:16:42.69
These would be
hawk-like birds that would swoop
00:16:42.70\00:16:46.06
down on them, and these have
been watching here at the zoo
00:16:46.10\00:16:51.20
for the red tailed hawk.
00:16:51.30\00:16:52.93
You don't see the
red tailed hawk in view,
00:16:54.33\00:16:56.32
but when he's near,
they certainly are on guard.
00:16:56.36\00:17:00.33
Well, Mr. Molder, what
advice could you give to people,
00:17:01.52\00:17:05.07
to children, about what they
can learn from how dependable
00:17:05.10\00:17:08.62
the little meerkat is?
00:17:08.65\00:17:10.13
Well, if you can be trustworthy,
not just to look out
00:17:10.17\00:17:14.66
after yourself, but to
look out after each other,
00:17:14.70\00:17:19.16
not only your
friends, but everyone.
00:17:19.56\00:17:21.79
Well that's a neat
lesson, I think I'd like to try
00:17:21.90\00:17:24.60
and do that myself, and I
think that my friends would too.
00:17:24.64\00:17:27.65
We appreciate you coming,
we have so many more things
00:17:27.83\00:17:31.17
to do now, so don't go
away, because there's something
00:17:31.20\00:17:34.51
exciting coming up.
00:17:34.55\00:17:36.13
I have something I want
you to think about with me.
00:17:37.59\00:17:40.27
Think about how the mail man
must have felt when he brought
00:17:40.88\00:17:44.69
me my package right on time,
what do you think he felt like?
00:17:44.73\00:17:48.51
I think so too. I
think he must have felt
00:17:49.34\00:17:51.78
so proud of himself for
arriving just at the right time
00:17:51.82\00:17:55.49
with my package.
It's good feeling to be
00:17:55.52\00:17:58.63
dependable, isn't it?
00:17:58.66\00:18:00.40
Have you ever been
dependable? How did you feel?
00:18:00.57\00:18:04.24
Maybe you started the
dishes without being reminded
00:18:04.99\00:18:07.19
that they needed to be done.
I bet you were proud of yourself
00:18:07.23\00:18:10.64
when someone came in
and said "Thanks for doing"
00:18:10.67\00:18:13.52
"those dishes". I bet
you felt good, didn't you?
00:18:13.56\00:18:16.38
Or maybe you made
your bed real smooth,
00:18:16.77\00:18:18.98
without any wrinkles, that's
a good feeling too, isn't it?
00:18:19.02\00:18:23.02
It's a good feeling to do a
job well and to be dependable
00:18:23.67\00:18:27.91
about doing it.
Now don't go away
00:18:27.94\00:18:30.54
because when we come
back, we're going to have
00:18:30.80\00:18:33.67
a guessing game about
some people and things
00:18:33.70\00:18:36.54
that are
dependable, see you then.
00:18:36.57\00:18:39.77
Did you know that one of
the best ways to become a good
00:18:41.24\00:18:43.89
friend of Jesus is by
spending personal time with Him
00:18:43.92\00:18:46.54
every day. Well,
adults do that by praying
00:18:46.57\00:18:49.49
and by reading their
Bibles, but if you can't read
00:18:49.69\00:18:52.65
it's kind of hard, isn't
it? Or maybe you just like
00:18:52.85\00:18:55.98
listening to tapes, well here's
a fun way to have your very own
00:18:56.02\00:18:59.58
devotions every
morning when you get up.
00:18:59.61\00:19:02.11
Janice has made these morning
time devotions for her kids
00:19:02.21\00:19:05.07
and for you: complete with
songs, prayers and stories.
00:19:05.27\00:19:09.51
For more information have
your parents write to or call:
00:19:10.17\00:19:12.85
[information on screen]
00:19:12.88\00:19:15.09
This looks like fun, there's a
lot of things in my basket today
00:19:44.40\00:19:49.36
Okay, get it
all the way up here.
00:19:53.89\00:19:56.32
You know what? I think we
should have a guessing game.
00:19:56.79\00:20:01.37
As I look at these things,
I think they are all things
00:20:02.59\00:20:06.87
that are dependable.
Ok, that's your first hint,
00:20:06.90\00:20:09.66
and the first one that
I want to tell you about
00:20:09.86\00:20:13.57
is shaped like this,
do you know what it is?
00:20:13.61\00:20:17.29
I'll give you another
clue: it's very light.
00:20:17.39\00:20:20.03
Okay, shall I
show you? A light bulb.
00:20:21.23\00:20:25.79
We need lights, don't we?
Lights need to be dependable.
00:20:27.26\00:20:30.37
This one I'm not going to say
anything, I'm just going to pull
00:20:30.66\00:20:33.46
it out slowly and you start
looking at it from the top.
00:20:33.49\00:20:36.74
Do you know yet what it is?
00:20:38.98\00:20:41.11
Do you have anything like this?
00:20:45.24\00:20:48.10
You need glue to be dependable,
if you want to glue something
00:20:48.68\00:20:51.56
together, you need it to be
dependable and hold together,
00:20:51.59\00:20:54.44
don't you?
00:20:54.47\00:20:56.07
Oh, this one, boy,
people sure depend on this:
00:20:59.15\00:21:03.09
look at it, I'm just going
to show part of it at first.
00:21:03.43\00:21:07.12
Do you know what that is?
00:21:07.70\00:21:09.73
A little bit more.
00:21:10.44\00:21:12.81
Have you guessed? A faucet.
00:21:15.38\00:21:18.60
You sure like it when
you turn on that faucet,
00:21:19.15\00:21:21.52
you're sure glad if the
water comes out, aren't you?
00:21:21.56\00:21:24.44
We really depend on
faucets to give us water.
00:21:25.04\00:21:27.74
You know, we
depend on a lot of things
00:21:28.84\00:21:30.60
and a lot of people, don't we?
00:21:30.63\00:21:32.86
Wouldn't you like to be someone
that people can depend on?
00:21:35.38\00:21:39.29
I want to be that way.
00:21:39.90\00:21:42.43
The bed gets made,
the clothes picked up,
00:21:46.33\00:21:50.32
tomorrow we will do it again.
00:21:50.35\00:21:54.24
The toys put
back, the table set,
00:21:54.51\00:21:58.64
tomorrow we will do it again.
00:21:58.68\00:22:02.78
Doing your best
with nothing hid,
00:22:03.12\00:22:06.85
that's what God
wants from dependable kids.
00:22:06.89\00:22:11.30
Kids grow up, kids go out,
00:22:11.33\00:22:15.18
tomorrow God will help us again.
00:22:15.22\00:22:19.28
Are you ready for
a story? [Kids] Yeah.
00:22:23.44\00:22:25.87
Remember, last week we
found out that the villagers
00:22:25.97\00:22:28.95
couldn't figure out why
there were noises in the cave,
00:22:28.99\00:22:31.94
and then a boat
disappeared all on its own,
00:22:32.09\00:22:34.74
and then came back.
They didn't know what had
00:22:34.78\00:22:37.36
happened, and the very
next day, a horse, belonging
00:22:37.40\00:22:41.40
to one of the
villagers just disappeared.
00:22:41.43\00:22:45.64
Well, they were all about
to plan a search to go looking
00:22:45.68\00:22:48.45
for the horse when it
appeared back in the barn,
00:22:48.48\00:22:51.86
in its stall, with
the gate latched and shut,
00:22:52.29\00:22:55.36
and furthermore, the
horse was tied up properly.
00:22:55.40\00:22:58.44
Now, horses can't
open doors to barns.
00:22:58.47\00:23:00.99
Horses can't latch the stall,
horses can't tie themselves up.
00:23:01.03\00:23:04.97
Everybody was curious, and
they were just getting over that
00:23:05.16\00:23:09.03
when one of the poor
widows in the village
00:23:09.39\00:23:12.16
who had been very
sick, became so surprised
00:23:12.20\00:23:14.90
because one morning when
she woke up, on the table
00:23:14.94\00:23:17.69
beside her bed was a
little box of crackers,
00:23:17.72\00:23:21.51
3 little herring fish
and 2 little loafs of bread.
00:23:21.81\00:23:26.44
She didn't know who had put
them there, it had just come
00:23:26.91\00:23:29.61
there during the night
when she had been sound asleep.
00:23:29.64\00:23:32.31
Everybody was saying
"Who did all of this?"
00:23:32.41\00:23:34.88
"Is it something to do
with the cave and the noises"
00:23:34.92\00:23:37.42
"in the cave?"
Nobody could figure it out.
00:23:37.45\00:23:40.42
Well, in Longview Village,
one of the excitements each week
00:23:40.59\00:23:44.40
was when the steamer came
from Glasgow, and that brought
00:23:44.60\00:23:47.95
the mail, and
packages, and sometimes people.
00:23:47.98\00:23:51.36
This particular week,
when the steamer came,
00:23:51.39\00:23:54.23
all the villagers
were on the beach watching,
00:23:54.26\00:23:56.82
because it was an
exciting thing to have it come,
00:23:56.86\00:23:59.39
and as they were watching,
one man had a telescope.
00:23:59.97\00:24:03.90
He was looking through
the telescope and he said:
00:24:04.07\00:24:07.22
"There's some people getting off
that I've never seen before."
00:24:08.23\00:24:11.59
Everybody was
wondering who it was.
00:24:11.89\00:24:13.80
They got off the boat,
and into a little row boat
00:24:13.92\00:24:16.30
and then rowed into the shore.
00:24:16.50\00:24:18.61
Well, it turned out "those
people" was a boy and a man.
00:24:18.82\00:24:23.23
Roy was the boy, and
Mr. Wallace was the man.
00:24:23.26\00:24:26.73
They were coming to
spend Roy's summer vacation
00:24:26.83\00:24:30.26
visiting Roy's uncle, and
his uncle was the store keeper.
00:24:30.46\00:24:34.69
Well, as you can
imagine, very quickly after Roy
00:24:34.91\00:24:38.61
arrived in the little
town, everybody started to tell
00:24:38.65\00:24:41.88
about the stories of all
the interesting things that had
00:24:41.92\00:24:45.12
been happening.
Mr. Wallace, Roy's dad,
00:24:45.15\00:24:48.65
he wasn't all that interested,
but Roy's ears were flapping
00:24:48.75\00:24:52.69
in the breeze, because
this was so interesting to hear
00:24:52.72\00:24:56.13
all these mysterious things.
He would listen to this one,
00:24:56.16\00:24:59.54
and listen to that
one, and then one evening
00:24:59.57\00:25:02.61
one of the villagers
said: "you should go visit"
00:25:02.75\00:25:05.20
"Oscar and Bruce.
They're boys about your age."
00:25:05.23\00:25:07.77
So Roy tried to visit
them, but they weren't home.
00:25:07.80\00:25:10.31
So he went back,
and then the next day
00:25:10.34\00:25:13.57
someone said: "you
should go for a swim."
00:25:13.81\00:25:15.97
"The water in the bay
is wonderful for swimming."
00:25:16.07\00:25:19.09
So, Roy went out for a swim.
He would swim from this rock,
00:25:19.15\00:25:23.64
and then he would
swim over to another rock
00:25:23.74\00:25:25.91
because you get tired when
you go swimming for a long time,
00:25:25.95\00:25:28.95
but he was having a
lovely time swimming.
00:25:29.20\00:25:32.73
Everything was
really nice, and that night,
00:25:33.29\00:25:36.47
something else happened.
00:25:36.50\00:25:38.78
One of the villagers
had just bought a brand new,
00:25:39.28\00:25:43.32
very expensive,
lovely life jacket.
00:25:43.52\00:25:47.30
He was so proud of it,
when he wore his life jacket
00:25:47.34\00:25:50.29
he would strut his shoulders
back because he was so proud
00:25:50.49\00:25:53.51
of his jacket, and it
disappeared during the night.
00:25:53.54\00:25:57.72
You can imagine that he
was very upset about that.
00:25:58.38\00:26:01.84
Well then, it had only
been gone for maybe a day or so,
00:26:02.29\00:26:09.25
and the next morning when
he got up, he opened his door
00:26:09.66\00:26:13.35
at 5.30 in the
morning when he always got up,
00:26:13.38\00:26:16.12
and there, hanging from a
nail, right by his front door
00:26:16.65\00:26:20.55
was his life jacket.
Now, how did it come back?
00:26:20.65\00:26:26.46
And how did it go away? And
did that have anything to do
00:26:26.56\00:26:29.65
with the widows crackers,
and did that have anything
00:26:29.68\00:26:32.75
to do with the horse that
tied itself up in the stall?
00:26:32.78\00:26:35.82
And did that have anything to
do with the noises in the cave?
00:26:35.96\00:26:40.15
Roy was wondering, and so was
everyone else in the village.
00:26:40.87\00:26:45.94
Are you wondering
who's doing all those things?
00:26:45.97\00:26:48.75
[Kids] Yes.
00:26:48.78\00:26:49.75
Next week we'll
find out some more, okay?
00:26:49.76\00:26:52.55
Now did you write down our
mystery word yet for today?
00:26:53.15\00:26:56.75
What is it?
Reliable, you're right.
00:26:57.46\00:27:00.75
Reliable is like
being dependable.
00:27:00.79\00:27:04.01
If you're a reliable person,
I know that I can count on you
00:27:04.05\00:27:07.88
for something. And
I'm glad that you watched
00:27:07.91\00:27:10.47
again today, that was
good, and I'm looking forward
00:27:10.51\00:27:13.49
to seeing you
next week. Bye for now.
00:27:13.52\00:27:17.14
