00:02 Oh, Hello! I'm just working on a song.
00:04 I really like this song. 00:06 Because it talks about... Oooh, did you see that? 00:10 It's windy and lightning. 00:14 I don't want the power to go out because I want to be able 00:18 to use my keyboard, because I'm trying to figure out 00:20 the notes to get the tune just right. 00:22 Anyway, you try and help me, alright? 00:24 It goes, even when things don't turn out right, 00:28 And then I want to say, I want to be glad 00:30 but I am trying to think, I'll try this. 00:33 I'll be glad. But I didn't like that. 00:35 So I thought maybe something higher, maybe I'll be glad 00:39 No! No! I don't like that either. 00:41 Even when things don't turn out right, 00:45 Oh, that's nice isn't it? I'll be glad. 00:49 Do you like that? 00:50 I do, and then you could echo and go 00:52 I'll be glad, Oh that's nice and you could do the echo. 00:57 Let's try that okay? 00:58 Even when things... I'll see if I can get a lantern. 01:12 So good to see you again 01:15 Come up for a visit my friend 01:19 There's so much to do 01:21 I have so many things planned for you. 01:28 We'll laugh and we'll play 01:30 We'll sing and we'll pray 01:32 I'll tell you a story or two. 01:37 and we'll be friends, you and I. 01:41 Yes, you and I and Jesus. 01:51 I'm happy you're here once again. 01:54 It's so nice to have you as my friend. 02:06 Do you like my lamp? 02:08 I do! They are pretty, aren't they? 02:11 Let's not let the storm stop us from having our mystery word. 02:14 The key word comes here as usual and the letter 02:17 will jump out of the key word and come into the correct place 02:21 in the mystery word. 02:22 But it is 3 words today, isn't it? 02:23 See how quick you can get it figured out, Okay? 02:25 Now, when I went to get these lamps I put away the keyboard 02:31 on account of the storm. 02:32 I wanted to bring you some other things to show you 02:36 because I got thinking about what is happening, 02:37 and we are having to adapt today, we're having to make do 02:42 to things are changing on us, aren't they? 02:43 I had a choice, I could have used this lantern, 02:46 But I like this lantern real well, for some reason 02:49 I thought that these ones would be real pretty 02:51 to use today, but it works the same way. 02:53 It has a wick and you light it and everything. 02:58 And I got to thinking I would just like to take a minute 03:00 to show you that like with a radio you can use it with a 03:04 plug or you can put in batteries. 03:06 You know sometimes it is good to be ready for things. 03:10 Like having batteries on hand just in case you need them. 03:13 Another good thing to have on hand because it's easier to 03:16 be content and happy if you are ready for circumstances 03:20 that might not be quiet right. 03:21 Flashlights are good to have on hand, can you see that? 03:25 It's not too bright with these lanterns on, it's hard to notice 03:28 that's it's on isn't it? 03:29 This is something I wanted to tell you about. 03:31 Do you know what this is? 03:33 I'll show it to you. 03:34 Can you see what that does? 03:36 Can you see this end? Okay? 03:38 Now what you do is you plug this in, and you plug this into 03:45 the wall, my finger will be the wall, and then look what 03:49 you have here, you still have two more places where you can 03:52 plug things in. 03:53 Do you know what this is called? 03:54 It's called an adapter plug. 03:58 An adapter plug, you know that word adapt is pretty 04:02 important and speaking of that word, I think I should get back 04:06 to my song because that is what my song is about. 04:08 It is about being happy even when things don't go right. 04:13 Adapting to your situations. 04:15 I am on the second verse. 04:18 Thanks for helping me with the tune on the first verse. 04:20 I'm on the second verse and this is what I have. 04:24 You see if you can help me figure it out. 04:25 I have, even when I'm feeling hurt, I'll be glad. 04:29 Then I want to say something else, and then I will 04:32 be glad again. 04:33 I was trying to think what made you feel hurt? 04:36 Um, well that's a good idea, like falling down, Okay 04:41 That would make you hurt. 04:42 So you could say, Like falling down, but it has 04:46 to rhyme with hurt so I was thinking if you fall on 04:49 the road, like falling down on the road, but 04:51 road doesn't rhyme with hurt, does it? 04:53 Um, sand, rocks, you know what I sometimes do? 04:57 Let's try it. Sometimes I just picture the alphabet in my head 05:01 and then I just start with the first letter and try and 05:03 think of letters that start with that, A, well you couldn't 05:06 thyme hurt, starting with A. 05:07 B. you could. Hurt, Burt, like falling down into Burt. 05:11 Well, I really don't like that do you? 05:14 Um, ABC, Curt, like falling down into Curt. 05:19 That's a name again, that doesn't work. 05:21 ABCD, Like falling down into the, you've got it, dirt. 05:27 Now listen to this whole verse, that is perfect, dirt. 05:32 Even when I'm feeling hurt 05:34 I'll be glad like falling down into the dirt. 05:36 I'll be glad. I like that! 05:38 When my tears begin to flow Jesus is with me. 05:42 That is one of my favorite parts. 05:43 It makes my heart so glad to know that Jesus is with me. 05:48 Do you know why I wrote this song? 05:49 Because I had been reading about Paul in the Bible. 05:52 In Philippians Chapter 4 he tells us a little 05:56 bit about his life. 05:57 He says he had all sorts of problems and sometimes he had 06:00 happiness, but then he said, I have learned a secret 06:05 of being content in any and every situation. 06:14 Even when things don't turn out right. 06:17 I'll be glad. I'll be glad. 06:19 Even in the darkest night. I'll be glad. I'll be glad. 06:26 When my life can't be controlled 06:30 Jesus is with me. 06:33 I could be scared until I'm old, but Jesus is with me. 06:39 Even when I'm feeling hurt, I'll be glad. I'll be glad. 06:46 Like falling down into the dirt. 06:49 I'll be glad. I'll be glad. 06:52 When my tears begin to flow. 06:56 Jesus is with me. 06:58 It makes my heart so glad to know that Jesus is with me. 07:05 Even when things don't turn out right. 07:09 I'll be glad. I'll be glad. 07:12 Even in the darkest night. 07:15 I'll be glad. I'll be glad. 07:22 Hello, Janice! 07:25 Dr. Neblett, come on up out of the rain. 07:29 It's Dr. Neblett and he has 07:32 little boys with him. 07:33 Because of the rain I didn't expect that you would come. 07:37 We said we were going to exercise, so here we are. 07:40 You are, Oh is this why you were yelled? 07:43 That's why, it's broken. 07:44 I will have to figure out a way to fix it. 07:46 But how can we exercise? We can do it right here. 07:50 You know if we just move this table off to the side, 07:52 and get the chairs out of the way, we can 07:54 exercise right here on the rug. 07:55 Okay, why don't I take your coats and you guys can move 07:58 the table why I go hang them up so they can dry. 08:00 Okay, let's do that. 08:04 We are ready to get started. Okay! 08:05 Let's see what you are going to do. 08:07 The first thing we must do is to make sure we're dressed 08:09 comfortably so we can be flexible as we are doing 08:12 our exercises. 08:13 We don't want tight belts and things. Right! 08:14 We don't want things that are to tight and constrict 08:16 to make it harder for us. 08:17 We are going to do a couple exercises 08:19 and we should warm up to begin with. 08:22 I just want to show you a few things. 08:24 We are going to do jumping jacks first of all. 08:27 Charles and Shawn my helpers, are going to show us two 08:30 different ways to do it. 08:32 You know if you don't want to jump a lot, 08:34 you just want to keep your feet on the floor. 08:36 You can do it the way that Charles is going to do it. 08:37 If you want a little more active jump, you can do it like Shawn. 08:41 Maybe in an apartment, people might not want you to jump. 08:43 That's right, there may be a pretty good thumping when you 08:46 are hitting the floor. 08:47 So let's try 6 of them, shall we? 08:49 You guys ready? 08:51 Here we go. 1-2-3-4-5-6! 08:58 I'll tell you that is pretty good stuff. 09:00 You could work up a pretty good heart rate doing that. 09:03 Even just moving my arms I felt I was getting exercise. 09:06 That's right, because when we use our upper extremities 09:09 our arms, we really help our heart muscles a lot better. 09:12 Well the next two I want to show you are 09:14 going to get on the floor for these and I am going 09:16 to show you the good way and the not so good way of doing 09:19 them too, okay? 09:21 Alright boys, let's get down on the floor. 09:23 Alright, we are going to do some sit-ups first of all. 09:27 It helps to strengthen your stomach muscles. 09:30 Stomach muscles also help you to get a good back too. 09:32 Believe it or not. 09:33 You will notice that Charles has his feet nice and bent 09:38 like this and Shawn has his straight. 09:39 We don't want to do sit-ups 09:41 with our feet straight. 09:42 Because that is not the right 09:43 way to do it. 09:44 Shawn, let's have you bend your knees, 09:46 there you go. 09:47 We'll do maybe 2 of these, shall we? Yes! Alright! 09:49 Because we want to see some others too! 09:51 Here we go. 09:52 Are you ready? 09:53 1, 2, Boy I can almost feel it. 09:57 Just watching you guys. 09:59 Are you doing it? 10:00 2 more, 3, Alright, 4. Very good. Very good! 10:06 I see you have to practice those a lot if you wanted to do 10:09 more and more. That's right! 10:10 They give you nice strong stomach muscles. 10:12 You can get on the floor and do it too. 10:14 Just move whatever you need to move out of the way. 10:17 Now you know when you finish with your exercise, you want 10:20 to cool down a little bit. 10:21 You want to make sure the muscles you have been working 10:23 are now tight, and since we want to be flexible, 10:27 remember that we want to make sure that we stretch them. 10:30 So put your feet straight out like that. 10:33 Or you can put them closer, that is alright. 10:36 You can lean forward and try to stretch a little bit. 10:39 Hold it there, not very much, if it hurts, you should back off 10:45 You don't want to say, Oh that hurts. 10:48 You don't want to do that. 10:49 Are you stretching the muscles on the top of your legs, 10:51 or underneath your legs? 10:53 You can feel them stretching back here, when you go forward. 10:57 You feel it pulling a little bit? 10:58 Just pull back a little bit and hold it there for a few seconds. 11:01 Then you stretch up. 11:03 You know what, excuse me Dr. Neblett, you folks are 11:06 welcome to stay here and do a little bit more, but I need 11:09 to skedaddle because we have an appointment, Okay? 11:11 We will see you later.

Oh I see, thank you. 13:51 You are welcome. 13:53 You know it seems like you try to teach your kids to be 13:56 adaptable and you seem to try and be cheerful when you 13:59 get interrupted, what helps you do that? 14:00 Well, when I get up in the morning, I spend some time 14:04 with God and I ask Him to come into my life and lead me 14:08 moment by moment, day by day, and my days go much better. 14:13 It doesn't mean I don't get interruptions, it helps me 14:17 deal with them. 14:18 That's neat. 14:19 Do you think that would work for kids? 14:21 Oh, absolutely, Boy that is good news isn't it? 14:25 Oh, excuse me, I have to answer the phone. 14:27 We have to go, she is busy. 14:29 Hello Margaret, Yes, Bye! 14:39 Do you like doing puzzles? 14:40 I do, they are fun and it is a nice thing to do since it 14:43 is rainy and I can't go outside so much. 14:46 I've just about done this puzzle and I really like the 14:49 chicks, don't you? 14:50 This piece goes there and I just have two more pieces. 14:54 But I only have one more piece. 14:56 It must go here. 14:58 Umm, I don't think I am going to find it this time. 15:01 But have you ever made a piece for a puzzle? 15:04 You take this cardboard and slid it under here, 15:08 we are talking about being adaptable anyway. 15:11 Aren't we? 15:13 Then take a pencil, this piece won't be quiet as nice as 15:17 the real puzzle piece, but at least it will be a piece 15:21 and will fill up the gapping hole. 15:22 Just trace around and hold it carefully so that you 15:26 don't make the lines wrong. 15:28 Before I cut it out I'm going to color one right here. 15:31 Let me just choose colors that seem to fit. 15:36 There, Okay, now what do you think? 15:42 I can cut it out, I'm glad I had my crayons handy. 15:47 Now this is the tricky part, it's cutting it. 15:50 Really carefully. 15:53 You know this reminds me, I think we need to get that 15:58 bell fixed after this too, since we are over here 16:01 getting things fixed. 16:03 Well, do you think it will fit? 16:06 Okay, let's try it. 16:11 Did it work out? 16:14 I think it did. 16:15 It looks pretty good, doesn't it? 16:17 Now about that bell, let's see. 16:19 What do you think the problem is? 16:22 Now do you know? 16:24 It's missing the clapper. 16:26 That is the part that bangs up against the metal 16:30 and makes it loud. 16:33 I don't know where I am going to find that, but since we are 16:37 talking about being adaptable, I think what we can do. 16:44 Even when things are broken down, fix it up, fix it up. 16:50 When things are square that should be round, 16:54 Fix it up. Fix it up. 16:56 When something isn't working right 17:00 We can fix it too. 17:03 When something isn't fitting tight 17:07 We can fix it too! 17:09 Even when life can get you down, fix it up, fix it up. 17:16 So much to do just look around, 17:20 fix it up, fix it up. 17:22 No need to wait to lend a hand, 17:26 We can fix it now. 17:29 Doesn't hesitate let's make a plan 17:33 We can fix it now. 17:35 Even when life can get you down, 17:39 fix it up, fix it up. 17:42 So much to do just look around, 17:46 fix it up, fix it up. 17:54 Did you know that one of the best ways to become 17:55 a good friend of Jesus is by spending personal 17:58 time with Him every day. 17:59 Well adults do that by praying and by 18:02 reading their Bibles. 18:03 But if you can't read it's kind of hard isn't it? 18:06 Or maybe you just like listening to tapes. 18:09 We'll here is a fun way to have your very own 18:12 devotions every morning when you get up. 18:14 Janice has made morning time devotions for her kids, 18:17 and for you, complete with songs, prayers and stories. 18:21 For more information have your parents write to: 18:51 Do you know what one of my favorite flowers is? 18:55 It is the Dandelion. 18:57 Because Dandelions are always so bright and so cheerful and 19:01 they just look so bright yellow against the green of the grass. 19:04 Have you ever wondered how Dandelions got their name? 19:07 It is an unusual name isn't it? 19:09 Well you see the French people they noticed the leaves of the 19:13 Dandelions and they thought how they had these really 19:16 jagged, long teeth like things. 19:20 Jagged edges, and so they called it dent, for teeth, 19:23 Dent-de-lion and we changed it to Dandelions. 19:28 Isn't that interesting? 19:29 Dandelions are found on almost every continent 19:32 and every island of the world. 19:34 I think the reason for that is 19:36 they are so adaptable. 19:39 God has given Dandelion's an 19:40 incredible ability to change 19:42 and adjust to the different 19:44 situations that they are in. 19:45 So that they keep growing and blossoming. 19:48 For example, if you look at some Dandelions, 19:51 They have really, really long stems. 19:54 Those are usually the ones that are in some tall grass 19:56 or weeds. 19:58 So they grow long stems so that their little flower can 20:01 get out there were everybody can see it and where 20:03 it can soak in the rays of the sun. 20:04 Other Dandelions that are on grassy lawns, they grow 20:08 really, really short. 20:10 The reason for that is because every time that lawn mower 20:13 comes over, the Dandelion doesn't grow back to the same 20:16 height where it got cut off. 20:18 It grows back shorter than the last time it got cut off. 20:21 In fact some Dandelions can 20:24 even grow to just a height of a marble. 20:26 That would mean their little blossom would be right 20:29 there on the ground. 20:30 Isn't it neat how God has made Dandelions adaptable 20:34 so they can keep growing and keep making us happy? 20:41 Take a lesson from Dandelions 20:44 They do what they can do. 20:47 To help them grow they spread their seed 20:51 and grow as tall as they will need. 20:55 In the grass or near the trees. 20:58 They grow and grow. 21:03 Take a lesson from Dandelions. 21:07 That God has made them strong. 21:10 To weather rain and wind and snow 21:13 grow straight and tall yes they just know. 21:17 What to do to help them live and grow and grow. 21:24 And grow. 21:31 Whoops, that's better. 21:42 Are you ready for another story? Yeah! 21:43 Remember in Longview Village they had been having many 21:48 mysterious things happening. 21:49 Everybody was wondering who was behind all the good deeds. 21:53 One of the latest things was 21:55 Miss McKay's peat had been 21:57 stolen and then it had arrived 21:59 neatly stacked in front of 22:01 Well, it was a rainy day and 22:05 they were all in the store 22:07 talking about it and everybody was discussing who could be 22:10 doing it and the wind blew the door open and who should 22:15 come in but Dr. Samuel McGregor 22:17 He was the minister for the village and everybody 22:22 liked him, he was such a good, kind man. 22:25 They really honored and respected him. 22:28 So when he came in everybody hushed because they wanted 22:32 to hear why he would be there. 22:33 He came over and he said, Mr. Wallace, I need your help. 22:38 This storm has blown down a tree and has blown by the 22:42 manse, the manse is the house the minister lives in. 22:45 A branch has broken out one of the panes of my window. 22:50 They were panes like those panes in my Attic window. 22:53 Small square ones. 22:55 He said, can you come and fix it? 22:58 Or give me a piece of glass or something to fix it? 23:01 Mr. Wallace said, Oh dear Dr. McGregor, I couldn't 23:05 possibly come now, why it is too late in the day 23:08 and I can't get anybody to come, but I will give you this 23:11 little piece of board. 23:12 He gave him a little piece, like the size of a shingle. 23:14 He said, why don't you just take that home and tap it 23:18 up over the hole so no more wind and rain can come in. 23:20 Then what I will do is send someone first thing in the 23:25 morning to help you. 23:26 So Dr. McGregor said, thank you very much 23:28 and started to leave. 23:29 When he was just about to leave, when Roy just wanted 23:34 to talk to him so bad, he got up the courage and went 23:36 over to him and said, Dr. McGregor, do you have any 23:39 idea who is behind all these strange happenings in 23:42 the village? 23:43 Dr. McGregor said, Roy, I sure don't know but if you 23:48 figure anything out you let us all know because 23:49 we are all curious. 23:51 Then Dr. McGregor kept walking out the door, when all of a 23:56 sudden he was just about the door and an old lady 23:59 with a shawl rapped around her head, comes over and she 24:02 says, Dr. McGregor, I'm just wondering, do you think 24:06 it could be angels? 24:08 Dr. McGregor laughed and said, I don't know but it is nice 24:12 things like angels would do, but I surely don't know. 24:14 Then he was heading out the door again and just about out 24:18 the door again when old weather beaten fisherman 24:21 said to him, Ole Dr. McGregor I'm wondering when are you 24:25 going to get the bell fixed? 24:27 We've been wanting to hear bell, we like going to meetings 24:31 to the sound of the bell ringing and we haven't heard 24:33 that bell for several months. 24:34 Dr. McGregor said, you know I have been trying to get it 24:39 fixed, in fact I have 2 or 3 people come in to fix it, 24:41 but nobody can figure out what the problem is. 24:44 So then, he said, but I will try to figure it out. 24:48 Now folks I really need to be going and he was finally able 24:52 to get out the door. 24:53 Well, finally that night it was 24:57 late before Mr. Wallace could 24:58 get everybody out of the store. 25:00 Because the storm just made 25:01 everybody stay all cozied up to 25:04 the wood stove in the store. 25:05 Finally they all got on their way and they went home 25:08 and Mr. Wallace was able to lock the store door 25:11 and everybody went to bed. 25:13 Even Roy. 25:14 He fell asleep thinking about the mysterious happenings. 25:19 He was sound asleep, when Ding! Ding! Ding! 25:24 Roy flew out of bed in a flash and went running out into 25:29 the hallway and there was his Uncle. 25:30 What is happening? His Uncle said, its the bell, 25:34 it's the bell, and they both just threw on their clothes and 25:37 they went running out into the street and running up the hill 25:41 towards the old church. 25:42 You wouldn't believe it, but in the middle of the night it 25:46 seemed the whole village was running up the hill 25:48 towards the church altogether. 25:49 Everybody was yelling at each other, Do you know what is 25:52 happening? Do you know what is happening? 25:54 Nobody knew what was happening. 25:56 They were just running and just about there when they met 26:01 Dr. McGregor coming out of his front door because the 26:06 house for the church, the manse, which is the house 26:08 for the church, was right next door to the church. 26:11 He comes out and says, What's happening? 26:14 Everybody said that was what they were trying to figure out. 26:17 Well by now the bell wasn't ringing any more. 26:19 But they all knew they had heard it, that many people 26:23 couldn't be hearing things, could they? 26:24 They all went into the church and it was silent as a graveyard 26:30 it was so quiet, it was dark, and eerie in the shadows. 26:36 They all stood there wondering what was happening. 26:39 Up at the front of the church someone saw it, there 26:45 was the rope from the bell swinging back and forth. 26:48 Just a little bit still. 26:50 Well they couldn't tell who did it. 26:54 So they all turned around and went out the door 26:57 and talking amongst themselves, who could of done this? 27:02 Who could of done this? 27:03 They were all wondering and they decided that just must be 27:09 the end of the strange happenings. 27:11 Suddenly Dr. McGregor said, Look!
