00:02 Hello! We are going to make something today.
00:05 Do you want to guess what it is? 00:11 It takes salt, and some vitamins. 00:15 Do you know what it is yet? 00:18 I will give you another clue. 00:21 Phosphorus, it takes phosphorus. 00:23 Do you know yet? 00:24 I will give you some more clues. 00:26 Some sugar and some flour. 00:31 Have you guessed yet? 00:32 Well if I show you this last thing you'll know for sure. 00:36 Okay I will show you. 00:40 I'm going to try to make a banana and so meet me 00:43 in the wonder room and we will work on that, okay? 00:52 It's so good to see you again. 00:56 Come up for a visit my friend. 01:01 There's so much to do, 01:02 I have so many things planned for you. 01:10 We'll laugh and we'll play, We'll sing and we'll pray. 01:14 I'll tell you a story or two. And we'll be friends, you and I 01:22 Yes, you and I and Jesus. 01:31 I'm happy you're here once again. 01:35 It's so nice to have you as my friend. 01:44 Let's talk about our mystery word first. 01:46 Remember the key words come on this side and the 01:49 important letter jumps right over into the right spot 01:53 of the mystery word and I want you to see how quickly 01:56 you can guess what this word is, okay? 01:59 If we are going to make our banana I figure the wisest 02:02 thing to do is get out a nice nutrition book and I 02:06 looked up banana and I am just going to try and 02:09 guesstimate how much of each ingredient to put in. 02:11 The carbohydrates seems to be the largest part of the banana, 02:15 so I am using flour and sugar for that. 02:18 I have already got the flour and got most of the sugar 02:20 in and I think we need to put in one more spoonful. 02:22 Then there, is there's a little pinch of phosphorus, 02:28 and I went to a garden supply store and I'm just going 02:31 to put in a little pinch of that. 02:33 Let's get it all stirred around and, oh yes, 02:38 I got the iron. 02:40 Some iron tablets from the drugstore and some multiple 02:44 vitamins tablets that have the vitamin A. 02:48 and thiamine and the riboflavin and the niacin 02:50 and the calcium in them. 02:52 And there that is a quite nice fine powder, isn't it? 02:56 I will just pour that in 02:58 Then the only one I am missing 03:02 I think is the potassium. 03:04 There is a lot of potassium 03:05 in bananas and my husband told me salt was the 03:08 same chemical composition so I will put in a 03:11 good portion of that. 03:13 I will get all stirred around, what do you think? 03:16 I think that I must need some water, it's dry. 03:23 It doesn't really say water but I guess I will put 03:26 some in because I wanted to look like a banana. 03:30 Well, um, maybe it will smell like a banana 03:33 once I get it into the skin. 03:35 Hi Janice, here he sure funnel that you asked 03:37 me to bring for you. 03:38 Great! Dr. Neblett are you able to stay and 03:39 help for a minute? 03:40 Sure no problem, what are you making? 03:42 Well why don't you guess. 03:44 I don't know, it looks like a yellow something. 03:47 Yeah okay well put the funnel over top and maybe 03:49 you will guess as we go. 03:51 I'm trying to make something. 03:53 You're making something? Yeah! 03:55 I am making a banana. 03:58 Do we have enough in here yet? 03:59 I don't know what you are doing so that's fine. 04:02 Okay Dr. Neblett, let's scrape the bottom off. 04:06 We might want to make more than one banana. 04:09 Do you want to taste it? 04:10 Not really! I'll here this spoon is clean. 04:14 I was just stirring with it. 04:20 Okay! Alright! That's terrible! 04:27 I'm going to try it too. 04:28 It was fun making this. 04:30 It doesn't taste like a banana does it? 04:34 Oh yuck, it just makes me shudder. 04:38 I agree! 04:39 You know before I started I felt that I couldn't make a 04:43 banana because, but I wanted to try anyway. 04:46 But I really think I have learned something today. 04:49 Only God can make a banana. 04:54 Well Darlene and Katlin, I would like you 04:57 to meet my friends. 04:58 Hi! - and Darlene I know you love gardening because 05:02 I see your beautiful garden out here. 05:04 What can you tell us about what you are doing, 05:07 and how you're flowers grow? 05:09 Well right now I'm cultivating the ground so that we 05:12 can plant these pansies. 05:13 Right here are some zinnias, 05:15 this is a Flock, 05:16 and a Gerber and we are 05:18 going to plant these in here. 05:19 If you dig up the soil it aerates it and that helps 05:22 the plants to grow better. 05:23 Aerating the soil is loosing it? 05:26 Right, look here is a worm and he does the same thing. 05:31 That's God's aerator, do you see the worm Katlin? 05:34 He goes through the soil and loosens it for us. 05:37 And makes little tunnels and it. - Ah Huh! 05:39 And helps the rain and the water that we give the 05:42 plants to go down to the roots. 05:44 And the nutrients probably in the water too? 05:47 Right, plus we add fertilizer. 05:49 So that helps too. 05:51 So God has His own little ways to make His plants 05:54 and flowers grow. 05:56 - Yes, He does, isn't that wonderful? 05:57 And flowers are probably the only true gift of joy 06:01 that God gave us, most everything else He created are 06:05 trees we use to build our houses with and make paper. 06:08 Our animals, each one is needed to offset 06:12 the other one. 06:13 The flowers really are there just for our pleasure. 06:18 God is sure wonderful to make flowers. 06:20 After you plant these then you will be 06:22 watering them right? 06:23 Because they need the sunshine and the 06:25 soil and the water. 06:26 They do, although there are some plants that can 06:28 get by without too much sun. 06:30 Oh so you have to be careful to 06:32 plant them in the right places? 06:34 Yes you do, some need more 06:36 shade than others. 06:37 Some need all shade, if you were to plant some of 06:40 the ferns in full sun they would die. 06:42 So it sounds like God has made each flower to be 06:47 a little bit different. 06:48 They have different needs and they look different and 06:51 we can enjoy them - right! 06:52 Yes, and in different places. 06:54 That reminds me of people - that's true! 06:57 Because people are all different and yet 07:00 we are each special. 07:03 Look at how the flowers grow 07:07 they are beautiful and lovely. 07:11 Bringing smiles to faithful everywhere. 07:20 And just like all these flowers, 07:24 God made you Oh, so special. 07:29 Beautiful and loved within His care. 07:38 I never have to worry, He is always loving me. 07:46 Just like the flowers never worry, 07:50 that is how caring God can be. 07:58 Look at how the flowers grow 08:02 they are beautiful and lovely. 08:07 Bringing smiles to people everywhere. 08:16 And just like all those flowers, 08:20 God made you oh, so special. 08:25 Beautiful and loved within His care. 08:33 Your beautiful and loved within His care. 08:46 Hey kids! if you love all the fun things you get to do 08:49 with Janice and her friends you will flip over this. 08:51 It's Janice's activity book loaded with fun. 08:55 This book teaches scripture through mazes, 08:57 puzzles, dot to dot games, 08:59 coloring and more. 09:01 And the best part is, it's free! 09:03 Let's take a look inside. 09:05 The scripture on this page says: 09:12 Now let's circle the pictures that are the same. 09:15 That is right you have the idea. 09:17 There are many more fun filled activities in this book 09:20 just waiting for you. 09:22 By the way, did I mention, it's FREE! 09:25 To get your very own copy have your mom or dad write to: 09:43 Don't wait order yours today. 09:46 Hi, I'm glad you're back. 09:48 Jana and I have just been talking about different seeds. 09:50 These are radish seeds and they are real tiny. 09:52 And these are pea seeds, and these are bean seeds. 09:55 You can get seeds at even a grocery stores. 09:58 They are real easy to find. 10:00 Jana I wanted to ask you 10:02 about these little bean seeds. 10:03 If I plant this, which way 10:05 will the root always grow? 10:07 Down! - which way will the leaves always grow? 10:10 Up! - up, is that always? 10:13 Yes! - it is always. 10:16 Why don't you start doing the little experiment? 10:18 Now for this experiment it is a fun one that you 10:21 can do at home. 10:22 You need a clear cup and you put a regular piece of 10:25 paper towel around on the inside. 10:28 And then stuff it with regular cotton balls. 10:30 Jenna will keep going and while she is going I am going 10:33 to show you one that we have already made. 10:35 When you put in the bean seeds, put them sideways, 10:40 put them upside down, put them right side up. 10:43 You will notice that for bean seed, if you put it this 10:47 way it is the easiest way for the root to grow down. 10:51 Right from this little white part right here. 10:55 That is the easiest way for the root to grow down. 10:57 But even if you put it this way, which you can see. 11:00 Here's one right here that was planted more like this. 11:04 The root just went around and headed down anyway. 11:07 You can do it with other seeds too. 11:09 Pea seeds, these are pea seeds. 11:11 When you do it always make sure that you moistened 11:16 the paper towel and a cotton balls. 11:19 You have to use quite a bit of water because cotton 11:23 balls are really thirsty and really soak up the water. 11:27 So you want to pour it in and wait a little bit and then pour 11:33 some more in to get all moist. 11:36 The seeds won't sprout unless they are wet. 11:39 Then you must put them in a dark place and leave them 11:45 there for a few days. 11:46 Check on them everyday to make sure that they are wet. 11:48 And so you can see what is happening, it is really fun 11:52 to see how it starts to happen. 11:54 Now this is a plant that you can see the roots are down 11:57 and the leaves are up. 11:58 And this is one that I did a little experiment with. 12:02 I covered it with plastic wrap and laid it on 12:06 its side like this. 12:07 And the window was over here. 12:09 If you look carefully you will see that the leaves 12:13 all turned around to face the window. 12:16 See how they are not all facing this way? 12:19 They are just facing this way because they wanted 12:21 to get to the light. 12:22 Whereas this plant it was just in regular light, 12:28 so the leaves are facing all different directions 12:31 because the light was able to come to 12:32 all the different leaves. 12:33 It is so fascinating how God has made the plants to 12:38 know what to do to always get to the light. 12:45 Well my friend Dennis is here. 12:47 Hi Janice, is good to be here again. 12:48 Oh I am so glad you're here, it looks like you 12:49 are ready to sing. 12:50 The song is called "It's A Miracle". 12:52 Can I join you? 12:56 What drives the stars without making a sound? 12:59 Why don't they crash when they're spinning around? 13:03 What holds me up when the world is upside down? 13:06 I know it is a miracle. 13:10 It's a miracle just to know God is with me 13:16 where-ever I go. 13:18 It's a miracle as big as can be 13:21 that He can make a miracle of me. 13:25 When it stream makes a brook and brook makes a stream 13:28 the stream makes the River water as fresh as can be, 13:32 but who puts the salt in when it gets to sea? 13:36 I know, I know, I know 13:42 it must be a miracle. 13:48 Dr. Neblett we have just been talking about plants 13:57 and how amazing they are, it's been fascinating. 14:00 It certainly is and something even more amazing 14:02 is our brain. 14:03 I brought one with me. 14:05 It is upside down so I am going to hold it carefully. 14:08 You see how it is? 14:09 Our brains are important to do a lot of things 14:12 in our body. 14:13 It goes like this - right like that okay. 14:15 It controls both the voluntary and involuntary actions 14:20 of our body, I will explain that. 14:22 It also controls our senses, our sight, smell, hearing, 14:27 tasting, and feeling. 14:29 All those things are controlled 14:31 by the brain. 14:32 Well let me give you an example 14:33 of what I mean by 14:34 voluntary and involuntary. 14:35 - that would be interesting. 14:37 Pickup that jug for me. 14:38 Just pick it up? Okay! 14:39 Now what you just did was voluntarily move your muscles 14:43 over there and picked it up. 14:45 If your brain was not working you couldn't do that. 14:47 It tells your muscles exactly how far to go and exactly 14:50 how to pick it up. 14:51 I chose to do it! - that's right! 14:52 Several times, when I have been talking to you now, 14:55 your eyes have been blinking. 14:56 Oh! - that is an example of involuntary that your brain 15:02 is also in control of. 15:03 If we don't think about it we will keep breathing on a regular 15:07 basis and our brain controls that too. 15:09 You could breathe faster if you wanted to, but even when 15:12 you are asleep you will go ahead and breathe. 15:15 You do it without thinking, so that is involuntary? 15:17 The things that you don't think about? 15:18 That is a simple way of explaining it, but there are 15:21 more complicated things that brains can do as well. 15:24 I would like to try an experiment with you, 15:26 if it would be alright if you? 15:28 Oh, okay! What do I need to do? 15:29 What I would like you to do for me is just stand a 15:32 little bit away from the table and turn around and 15:36 close your eyes. 15:37 Now I'm going to do my experiment right now. 15:43 Are you are you ready? 15:44 What are you going to do? 15:48 You popped a balloon! 15:53 I certainly did and you jumped. 15:55 I know, I always jump when balloons pop. 15:58 You see our body, our brain helps us to protect ourselves. 16:02 When scary things happen we jump and get ready 16:05 to fly away, if we have to, from danger. 16:08 I didn't even think about jumping, I just jumped. 16:10 That's right, now there are some things that our brain 16:12 helps us to do automatically. 16:14 When you are a baby and you begin to learn how to walk. 16:17 You don't know how to do it just right. 16:19 But as time goes on you get to walk and you don't think about 16:22 it you just walk one foot in front of the other. 16:25 Well there are some other things that you can do automatically 16:28 and your brain takes over. 16:30 I would like to try that one with you as well. 16:32 Well we just did one! 16:34 I won't scare you this time. 16:35 Stand over here again for me and face me. 16:38 I want you to close your eyes and I will tell 16:41 you when to open them. 16:47 Alright, are you ready? 16:48 Yeah! - open your eyes. 16:50 Oh! - now you see you just automatically went up and 16:55 caught that orange I threw to you. 16:57 I didn't think about it. 16:58 You didn't think about it, your brain however thought 17:02 about it just as quickly and moved your muscles 17:04 right in there and you caught that. 17:06 You know I think that our brain and whole 17:10 body is incredibly made. 17:13 Just to think that God did this for us. 17:17 My body is great God made it that way. 17:20 A self-contained machine. 17:23 My body runs well if I treat it right. 17:26 The most amazing thing you've seen. 17:29 My nose can smell, my eyes can see. 17:32 That's more than a computer. 17:34 My ears can hear and my legs can walk 17:38 and my smile makes me cuter. 17:42 My body is great God made it that way. 17:45 A self-contained machine. My body runs well 17:49 if I treat it right. 17:51 The most amazing thing you've seen. 17:54 The most amazing thing you've seen! 18:00 Did you know that one of the best ways to become 18:02 a good friend of Jesus is by spending personal 18:04 time with Him every day. 18:06 Well adults do that by praying and by 18:08 reading their Bibles. 18:10 But if you can't read it's kind of hard isn't it? 18:12 Or maybe you just like listening to tapes. 18:15 We'll here is a fun way to have your very own 18:18 devotions every morning when you get up. 18:20 Janice has made morning time devotions for her kids, 18:24 and for you, complete with songs, prayers and stories. 18:28 For more information have your parents write to: 19:00 Hi Darlene! - Hi Janice! 19:02 I see you're at it again. 19:03 What kind of flowers are these? 19:05 These are sweet peas, can you smell them? 19:07 Aren't they fragrant? 19:09 I love sweet peas, - I do too! 19:11 They don't have peas on them to eat, do they? 19:14 No! these are just the flowers. 19:15 Just to enjoy, isn't God good. 19:17 Isn't that wonderful. 19:18 How do sweet peas bloom and the other 19:20 flowers and plants too? 19:22 Well you know how we 19:23 planted them back over 19:24 there and they grow 19:25 and in time they provide 19:26 little blossoms like this. 19:28 Then does begin to open and the 19:30 bees come and pollinate them. 19:32 They go from flower to flower, 19:33 some flowers need it, some don't. 19:36 Fruit especially needs pollination. 19:39 This is an orange, do you see the open bud there? 19:42 They're making honey for us anyway, so they will 19:45 fly from this flower, to this flower and in the process 19:48 they are carrying pollen from one flower to the other. 19:51 That is what makes little oranges to begin to grow. 19:55 In fact you can see one right there starting. 19:59 So if all the buds on the tree got pollinated, 20:03 then there would be oranges? 20:04 There would be oranges all over it, in fact 20:06 the lemon tree right there is much too profuse. 20:09 The bees did a good job. 20:13 Well it just amazes me how God has made all the parts 20:16 of nature to work together. 20:18 Bees with the flowers and the trees. 20:20 That's amazing. 20:22 Do you think that any of the blossoms in your garden 20:25 worry if the bees will come pollinate them? 20:27 I'm certain they don't, I'm sure 20:29 I worry more than they do. 20:30 I think maybe we shouldn't worry. 20:33 I think you are right. 20:34 If the flowers don't worry we don't need to worry either. 20:42 I never have to worry He's always loving me. 20:51 Just like the flowers never worry, 20:55 that's how caring God can be. 21:03 Look at how the flowers grow, 21:07 they are beautiful and lovely. 21:12 Bringing smiles to people everywhere. 21:21 And just like all those flowers, 21:24 God made you all so special. 21:30 Beautiful and loved within His care, 21:38 your beautiful and loved within His care. 22:03 Are you ready for a story? 22:04 Yes! 22:06 Now remember in Longview village there were many 22:08 mysterious things happening and Roy had finally made 22:12 his way into the cave and he is around the table in 22:15 that secret chamber visiting with Oscar and Bruce. 22:19 He is just asked them if they know anything about all 22:23 the things that have been happening in the village. 22:26 And they laughed and said well you know Roy, we figured 22:31 you were going to catch us someday because you were 22:33 so intent on catching the person. 22:36 Roy said that tell me about it. 22:38 What about the horse, what about the boat, what about 22:41 the penknife, can't you just tell me about it? 22:43 Finally they said okay. 22:45 You know what father and mother away, we just wanted 22:49 to do something fun and exciting, but you know we knew 22:54 that whatever we did we had to be honest about it. 22:57 Do you remember that time Roy, that you asked us 23:00 how we slept? 23:01 He said, yeah. 23:02 They said well, remember our answer? 23:05 And Roy said, Hmmm, yeah you said you sleep like tops. 23:10 That's right we were careful not to tell a lie 23:13 no matter what we did through all this we made sure 23:16 we told the truth. 23:18 Well let me tell you about and so they started telling. 23:21 The boat had been washed away in a storm they guessed. 23:25 They found it one time when they were out fishing and 23:28 it had a hole in it. 23:29 So they patched it and brought it back. 23:30 That was easy. 23:32 A horse, that was a little bit harder because it whinnied 23:35 so much taken it back to the stable that they were sure 23:39 the people would wake up and hear them putting him back in. 23:42 But somehow we managed. 23:43 And then the life jacket come all that wasn't too hard 23:47 at all because they were just out fishing again and 23:49 they found it. 23:50 So they were able to bring it back and hang it up. 23:53 Then, they said, do you know how much fun we had pushing that 23:58 oar through the window for old Sandy? 24:01 But we had no idea it would hit him on the chest, 24:04 they did not know it was right by his bed. 24:05 Then as far as Miss McKay's peat, 24:08 they had so much fun doing that but they had no idea 24:11 that she wouldn't find it. They just thought she would see 24:14 it right away. 24:15 They didn't know she wouldn't find it and that 24:17 made them feel bad, but they were glad when she found it. 24:19 As far as tarring the boat, that was easy. 24:23 They had seen old Corky and Roy 24:25 trying to do it and they felt 24:27 so bad as to how badly Corky 24:29 was feeling, so it was no 24:31 problem to go and do that. 24:32 That was a fun one. 24:33 Now the clock, that was a little bit harder because they 24:36 had not fixed many clocks in their lives, but somehow 24:39 they managed to get it fixed. 24:41 And Roy said, hmmm look what I have here? 24:45 He pulls out the rusty clocks spring from his pocket. 24:48 They said how did you get that? 24:50 He said well I found it on the hillside. 24:53 So that story went by and then he said about Oscar and 24:57 the window pane, remember the window pane? 25:00 Well Oscar had passed by soon after the storm and he 25:04 noticed it, and he noticed the size of the hole and remembered 25:08 that in there workshop at home they had 25:10 a little piece of glass just that size. 25:12 So that was easy. 25:13 And then the bell tower, they said we had so much fun climbing 25:19 up there like monkeys and fixing that bell. 25:22 They said, they just went home and roared with 25:25 laughter imagining how the whole village must have 25:28 been surprised over that. 25:30 They went on telling about different things and then 25:33 about the cow, that was easy doing the cow and a table. 25:36 The reason they hadn't fixed the table the whole way the 25:40 first night, was because they had run out of screws. 25:42 Then Roy came to the question, he said tell me, 25:47 why did you do all this though? 25:50 They said, well with mom and dad gone we wanted 25:54 to have some fun. 25:55 We wanted to do something special with our secret cave 25:58 that we had found, it seemed like such a special room 26:02 and we wanted to do some fun with it. 26:03 We remember the verse in the Bible where God talks 26:08 about helping others and we thought to ourselves, 26:10 that would be fun to help people. 26:12 But then we thought, if people know that it is us 26:15 helping them they will always be saying, oh thank you 26:18 for doing that for me. 26:20 Oh, you are a nice boy, thank you for doing that for me. 26:22 We didn't want people to always be thanking us, 26:25 because you feel funny when people tell you thank you. 26:28 So we decided to do it in secret. 26:30 The boys went on talking late into the night of all the 26:34 fun that they had had doing good for others. 26:37 Do you guys think you would like to do things like that 26:40 for others? - yeah! 26:42 It would be fun and I think you would too. 26:45 By the way, did you remember our mystery word? 26:48 You're right, it's flowers. 26:51 Flowers are beautiful and they 26:53 do make us happy. 26:54 And they do remind us of God's 26:57 power, if God can make a flower and if God can take care 27:01 of a flower, then God can take care of you. 27:05 And He will, I will see you next time! |
