00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there
00:07 Looking for a friend like Jesus 00:10 It's time to share there's a world out there 00:13 Let's tell them that He loves us so 00:17 Let's tell them that He loves us so 00:20 Kids' Time, Kids' Time Kids' Time, Kids' Time 00:26 Hi Boys and girls, how do you like my lion. 00:29 I really like him, he is so soft and cuddly. 00:32 I can pat him like this or lean my cheek against him, 00:36 but of course he's not real. 00:38 He's simply a toy and he's made out of cloth 00:41 and I think there's some stuffing in there too. 00:43 His eyes can't see 00:45 and his mouth can't open and shut 00:47 and he just can't take a swipe 00:48 at anything with his clawless paws. 00:51 This lion can't roar or run, 00:53 or even swish his little tail back here. 00:57 Of course, if he could do all those things, 00:58 I wouldn't dare to get this close to him. 01:01 You know, in the beginning 01:02 God created animals to be gentle, 01:04 even the lions and the tigers. 01:06 But when sin came into the world, 01:08 animals were affected too, 01:10 making some of them mean and dangerous. 01:13 Won't it be wonderful when we get to heaven 01:15 and all the animals will be gentle once again, 01:18 I can't wait for that day? 01:20 Right now Ranger Jim is going to tell us 01:22 about a friendly animal the Ferret. 01:31 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim, here 01:33 as you can see we have a very restless Slinky here 01:36 that I'm holding. 01:37 He's a beautiful Ferret, not only is he a Ferret, 01:39 but he's also Albino. 01:41 You could see his beautiful color, 01:42 his lovely eyes. 01:43 Albinism is caused by a lack of a gene, 01:47 a missing gene in their genetic code 01:49 and therefore don't have the ability 01:51 to form the colors in their fur and in their eyes. 01:55 And so their eyes are perfectly clear 01:57 and the pink that we see in their eyes is called 02:00 that we're looking, actually seeing the blood vessels 02:02 in the eye itself. 02:04 And so and these animals, 02:05 it makes a beautiful creature. 02:07 Ferrets are not wild animals, they're domesticated animals, 02:09 have been domesticated for 2500 years. 02:12 So to describe a Ferret, he is more or less, 02:14 between a cat and a dog, okay. 02:17 Little more independent like a cat, 02:19 but as you can see he is very unhappy, 02:21 he wants to get down. 02:22 We're visiting in his home today, 02:23 he wants to get down 02:24 and play on the floor like any pet. 02:26 And I'm still trying to bounce him you see, 02:28 to keep him quiet, but if I don't do that, 02:30 then he gets a little bite at you that he wants down. 02:33 But let's just talk about the Ferret 02:34 and he is a very interesting creature. 02:38 The boys we call a hob, can you imagine that. 02:41 And the girls, that's better, girls are called jills. 02:44 But this is a little hob and he is a cancer survivor. 02:47 In fact he has had cancer three times, 02:49 isn't that wonderful that he's survived 02:51 good veterinarian care. 02:53 And I was just talking to his owner 02:54 and she was expressing we thought that, 02:57 when we take an animal 02:59 like Ranger Jim has told you before, 03:01 when we have an animal, we're responsible for it. 03:03 And so when her Ferret got cancer, 03:06 she didn't have him destroyed and put to sleep. 03:09 She took him to the best veterinarian 03:10 that she could find. 03:11 And so the veterinarian removed a cancer 03:13 from under his shoulder here. 03:15 Then he had to have another cancer removed 03:17 and eventually Slinky lost half of his tail. 03:20 Normally he has a longer tail, 03:21 but he has a short tail now. 03:23 We are happy to have him survived, 03:25 and now she says, he is as happy and healthy 03:28 as the horse, okay. 03:29 So that's the wonderful story in itself, isn't it? 03:32 Ferrets normally breed and the mother gives birth 03:36 to four or five kids and raises them. 03:39 And of course being a mammal, giving birth to live young 03:42 and feeding their young from mammary glands 03:44 that she has on her stomach like this. 03:47 Ferrets come in many different colors, 03:48 there are some beautiful sables 03:50 and browns and things of that nature. 03:52 And really Ferrets are not recommended to families 03:55 who have children, especially small children. 03:58 Now if your child eight or ten years old 04:01 and mother and dad agree and you are knowledgeable 04:03 somewhat about Ferrets, or you have a friend 04:05 who has a Ferret that visited in your home 04:08 and your people can see him and estimate, 04:11 make an evaluation, if you could have this as a pet. 04:14 They do make pet for older boys and girls, 04:16 they are wonderful companion. 04:18 They're amusing, you can watch them by the hour. 04:21 Give them a roll of paper towels. 04:24 Slinky, here's favorite pastime for his owner, 04:28 it's for her to wet a mop and put it on the floor 04:30 and can you believe that 04:31 Slinky weighs two-and-half pounds. 04:34 He can pull a wetted mop right across the floor. 04:37 Its amazing the strength of a Ferret and as you can see, 04:40 he is getting very unhappy now. 04:42 He wants me to let him go and get on the floor, 04:44 so he can do all these things. 04:46 I've been telling him that he is a very famous Ferret 04:48 that he is on television. 04:50 So boys and girls can see him. 04:51 Now, Ferrets do have an odor, a musk odor because 04:55 they're from the weasel family, 04:57 minks and weasels and polecats 04:59 and things of that nature and all of them 05:01 have a certain characteristic odor about them. 05:04 And that's from glands and their fur 05:06 and this is to assist in their fur waterproofing it 05:09 and making them healthy. 05:11 Many people make the mistake 05:12 because the Ferret has some odor about it 05:14 that they give him a bath. 05:15 And they bath him, and they bath him, 05:17 and they bath him, the more you bath him, 05:19 the more they sweat, the more the oil glands 05:21 in its fur work and pour forth 05:24 more, and more, and more of the musk 05:26 and so you're defeating the purpose. 05:28 The more you bath the Ferret, 05:30 the more prominent will be the odor, okay. 05:32 And so if you've a Ferret, 05:34 you're having a problem with the odor. 05:35 I would recommend 05:36 that you just stop bathing him so often. 05:38 He's clean, he's neat, he bath himself. 05:40 You can see him licking his paws and cleaning himself 05:43 and so spend more time 05:45 in taking care of the litter box. 05:47 The Ferret is easily trained to a litter box like a cat 05:50 and he also enjoys special treats 05:52 that we have over of the side, 05:53 I might give him one of these and see if he would like it. 05:56 Would you like a treat, would you like a treat? 05:59 Okay, but you don't want to stay here and eat it, 06:00 do you, because the Ferret has a habit, 06:03 something that he loves to do. 06:05 He will steal things, okay, small mirror or shiny things 06:09 or even larger things and then he loves to take them 06:12 and hide them behind the Davenport, 06:14 behind the bed, behind the chair wherever, 06:17 so they're mischievous in that. 06:18 So you would want to take that into consideration. 06:20 If you're gonna have a Ferret, 06:21 having running loose in your house, 06:23 you would want to Ferret proof your house. 06:26 Much the same we do at our house 06:28 when we have the grandchildren come, 06:30 we grandchildren proof the house, okay. 06:32 Grandmother has many nice things 06:33 that she has on coffee tables. 06:35 We don't leave those things out when a two-year-old 06:38 or an eighteen months old toddler is 06:39 coming to your house, because if you do, 06:42 they're going to be into it and destroy it. 06:44 So if you've the Ferret, we'd want to protect those things 06:47 as well as protecting things 06:48 that the Ferret might injure themselves upon. 06:50 We wouldn't have an extension cord 06:52 that they might chew on and electrocute themselves 06:54 and things of this nature. 06:55 So they do make a wonderful pet 06:58 and so keep that in mind 06:59 if you're considering getting one, 07:00 you can buy them from the store. 07:02 And some states in the past, they in most states now 07:05 they're legal but they were illegal 07:06 because early in American history 07:09 man learn that you could trap a Ferret and train it. 07:11 Then when you went rabbit hunting 07:13 in the winter time, 07:14 when the snow was on the ground, 07:15 the rabbits like to spend the winter underground 07:18 in the burrow of a fox den 07:19 or something like that where it is comfortable, 07:22 safe away from the cold weather 07:24 and what have you so. 07:25 Sometimes there might be fifteen to twenty rabbits 07:27 occupying one abandoned fox den. 07:29 If you had a Ferret all you had to do 07:32 even though the Ferret wasn't big enough to grab the rabbit 07:35 and kill it, it was enough that 07:36 when the Ferret went down 07:37 and they're wandering into the hole, 07:39 the rabbits all came out the other end of the hole, 07:41 I promise you. 07:42 And so then the farmer or the man 07:44 who was hunting rabbits for food 07:46 would stand there with his gun and shoot the rabbits. 07:48 So it became an illegal form of hunting to use the Ferret. 07:52 To chase game from a hole that was an unfair advantage 07:55 and I would agree with that, that should be illegal. 07:58 But now in most places Ferrets are legal, 08:01 so if you want to consider getting one, 08:03 be sure to get it. 08:04 But he is a wonderful, 08:05 now that we're probably finished with the project, 08:07 he has realized 08:08 it's his last chance to make a good impression. 08:11 So he is being a very good boy really snugly 08:13 and I'm not going to wrinkle up that close. 08:15 But boys and girls as always, 08:16 when Ranger Jim has talked to you about these creatures, 08:19 who could look at this lovely creature 08:21 and not know that Jesus made. 08:23 That he provided all the things for 08:25 and we're still happy for Slinky that 08:26 he has survived even cancer three times 08:29 and he is such a lovely pet. 08:30 If you should ever be in this area 08:32 or if you could just come and see him and hold him 08:34 and see all these things, 08:35 you would know that Jesus loves the Ferrets too. 08:38 We've learnt he loves this Ferrets, 08:40 most of all he loves boys and girls. 08:42 So Ranger Jim as always reminding you, 08:45 don't forget to tell Jesus that you love Him, 08:47 because He really does love you. 08:57 Hello boys and girls, 08:59 a lion is a very, very fierce animal. 09:02 But a lion is no match for an angel 09:04 that God sends down here to protect one of his children. 09:08 Daniel 6:22 talks about that. 09:10 Adam can you tell us what Daniel 6:22 says. 09:13 "God sent his angels to shut the lions' mouth". 09:16 That's right, and we know that God can do anything. 09:19 Boys and girls we're going to do 09:21 the story of Daniel in the lions' den. 09:34 Long ago there lived a man named, Daniel 09:39 known throughout the land for being wise 09:43 placed in a foreign country as a governor 09:48 because God knew Daniel wouldn't compromise 09:53 Also in this land were many princes 09:57 who knew Daniel was the favorite of the king 10:01 They tried to find a faultitude that 10:04 this man had 10:06 But Daniel never failed at anything 10:11 There had to be some way that they could get him 10:15 They watched him as he prayed three times a day 10:20 They plotted and they planned went to the palace man. 10:24 The king Darius heard those princess saying 10:29 Oh king, we've all been talking your righteous do 10:33 Why don't we take a month or so to worship you 10:38 And if someone finds another God to pray to then 10:42 we'll let him spend underneath in the lions' den 10:50 The king was very flattered his crown got way to touch 10:54 Before he knew if he had signed the decree 10:58 but when Daniel heard about the law 11:01 he didn't changed his life at all, just knelt to pray 11:04 so everyone could see 11:08 When they saw praying 11:10 they knew he would soon be dead 11:12 But when they threw him to the lions this is what he said 11:19 Here kitty Kitty Here kitty, kitty 11:21 Let me pet you may now to glad 11:23 he came over here kitty, kitty 11:25 You're kitty, kitty Looking hungry there 11:27 but I don't care I'm not going to fear 11:29 with my God back here 11:30 and He is keeping your mouth shut tight 11:33 Oh what a pity you great that kitties 11:35 they are going to get meal tonight 11:41 The king could hardly sleep at night 11:43 he knew what he had done wasn't right 11:46 why had he even overcome by pride 11:50 So when the morning he goes hurriedly 11:53 his eyes close went down the side of den 11:56 and gone inside 11:59 Oh Daniel are you still awake 12:01 or have I made a great mistake 12:04 can you tell me please I've got to know 12:08 Then Daniel called up from the den 12:10 your kept food I've never been 12:13 My God's with me everywhere I go 12:17 And if you're making another law 12:19 that says that I can't pray 12:22 I'll see my friends down here again 12:24 and for and so again I'll stay 12:29 You're kitty, kitty You're kitty, kitty 12:31 Let me pet you may now to glad 12:33 he came over here kitty, kitty 12:34

kitties 12:45 you're going to get a meal tonight 12:47 Oh what a pity you great big kitties 12:49 you're going to get a meal tonight 12:58 And boys and girls, we don't ever have to be afraid, 13:01 because God is always with us. 13:13 Well hello, I would like to tell you a story today 13:17 and I want you to listen very carefully, 13:19 because it's a story how God protected me 13:22 in a life and death situation. 13:25 You see, some evil men wanted to kill me 13:29 and put me to death. 13:31 They didn't like me because I serve, 13:34 the Most High God, the Creator God 13:37 and I love Him with all of my heart. 13:40 You see three times a day, I talked to our God. 13:44 I go up into my room and I open my window 13:48 towards Jerusalem and I kneel down 13:50 and I thank God for His protection and His care. 13:54 You see I used to be a slave. 13:56 I was taken a prisoner from Jerusalem 13:59 to many, many miles away to a country 14:03 that was not my home. 14:05 And everyday I asked God to keep me faithful to Him, 14:10 I want Him to protect me, I don't want to rush up 14:13 the God's of gold and silver and the heathen, 14:16 God's that are all around me. You see, Daniel, is my name. 14:24 And these evil men were trying 14:27 to take my life because, Darius, was the King 14:33 and he wanted to put me 14:35 in command of all of the governors 14:39 and all of the officials of the land. 14:41 It would be the highest position 14:43 in all of the kingdom and they were jealous of me, 14:46 they didn't like me at all. 14:49 So they thought how can we destroy, Daniel. 14:54 You see I was faithful to God and to the king 14:57 and they couldn't find anything 14:59 that was wrong with me. 15:01 Anything in my work, they couldn't find any fault 15:05 in what I've done I did. 15:07 And so they studied my life and they went to the king 15:12 and they said, king we've an idea, 15:15 you are a great king and you deserve worshipping praise. 15:23 We would propose a law 15:25 that, no man would ask a petition of any man or God 15:29 except you, oh great, king Darius. 15:33 The king thought about that and he said, 15:36 well, that's a, that's a great decree. 15:38 I like that, no man would ask 15:41 of any other person except me. 15:43 Yes I like that you write that up in the law. 15:49 Well, king we would like to add something else. 15:52 If any one breaks that law, 15:54 if any one worships any other God except you, 15:58 then they should be placed into the lion's den, 16:01 they should be killed. 16:04 The king liked that idea too. 16:07 He said that's great, you put that into law 16:10 and according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, 16:13 it cannot be changed. 16:16 Well, when I read the law, I knew what it happened, 16:19 these evil men wrote that law, 16:21 so that they could destroy me. 16:23 They knew about my prayer life to my God. 16:28 I thought about it for a minute, 16:29 should I close the door, should I close my window, 16:33 should I pray in secret. 16:35 No, that doesn't seem right, that would be denying God, 16:39 that would mean that I was ashamed of Him. 16:42 And you see I believe that, that would hurt God. 16:47 And so I said it didn't matter, if I would die. 16:51 If I would go into that lions' den or not 16:54 I was going to pray. 16:55 And I went up into my room and I knelt down 16:59 and I thanked God for His love and His care. 17:02 I asked God, Lord, would you please protect me. 17:07 You know about this decree 17:09 and there are men watching me right now 17:11 and I know that they're going to place me 17:15 into the lions' den, but I don't care, 17:18 I will die for you. 17:20 Sure enough, the leaders, they went to king Darius 17:25 and they said, O king live forever. 17:28 You remember the decree that you had made? 17:31 He said yes I remember that decree, what about it. 17:35 And they said there is a man O king, 17:38 that defied your law. 17:40 And he said what, who would dare 17:43 defy the law of the Medes and the Persians 17:46 that cannot be changed, to death to that man. 17:50 And they said exactly king, it is Daniel. 17:56 The king felt really bad. 17:59 He said not my friend, Daniel, 18:02 and then he realized that he had been tricked. 18:05 Those men didn't care about him 18:06 they just wanted to destroy Daniel. 18:09 And so, Darius, he spent that entire night 18:13 fasting and praying and he called me before him 18:17 and he said, Daniel, I'm sorry 18:19 those men have tricked me, but I know your, God, 18:24 he can deliver you. 18:25 I've heard the stories of your God, 18:28 can't he deliver you Daniel. 18:30 I said yes king, He can deliver me. 18:35 And so the king gave the order 18:38 and I was lowered down into that ground 18:41 in that musty old smelly damp place. 18:48 Lions were roaring, they were yelling, 18:52 but somehow I wasn't afraid at all. 18:56 You see I had spent that entire time praying 18:59 and God took the fear away from me 19:02 and another thing is that I was able to sing. 19:06 I was able to pray 19:08 and talk to God and thank Him. 19:11 The lions didn't hurt me at all. 19:14 That morning the king he had told me 19:17 that he fasted, he prayed all night 19:20 and he went to the pit where the lions where 19:23 and he rolled away the stone 19:24 and he looked down and he said Daniel, 19:27 has your God delivered you. 19:30 I looked up and I said, yes king Darius, 19:35 my God whom I've served, who I'm faithful to, 19:39 he sent an angel and close the lions' mouth 19:42 and they've not hurt me. 19:45 The king was so happy, 19:46 he ordered men to pick me up out of that cave. 19:52 And you know, one of the first things that I did, 19:56 the very first thing that I did was I knelt down 20:00 and I thanked God for His protection. 20:20 God of great and God of small God of one and God of all 20:29 God of weakened God of strong God to whom all things belong 20:38 Hallelujah, hallelujah, praise be thy name 20:53 God of land and sky and sea God of life and destiny 21:01 God of never ranging power yet beside me every hour 21:09 Hallelujah, hallelujah praise be thy name 21:23 God of silence God of sound 21:28 God in whom the lost are found 21:33 God of day and darkest night 21:39 God whose love turns wrong to right 21:45 God of heaven and God of earth 21:49 God of death and God of birth 21:54 God of now and days before God who reigns forever more 22:03 Hallelujah, hallelujah praise be thy name 22:14 Praise be thy name 22:34 Can you imagine being thrown 22:35 into that den for a hungry lion?
