00:07 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:08 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, 00:23 Kids time, kids time, Hi, boys and girls. 00:26 Doesn't this fruit look delicious, 00:28 looks good enough to eat doesn't it. 00:30 Look at these beautiful grapes and apples, 00:33 and pears and bananas and ummh! 00:36 Don't you just love fresh fruit? I do, 00:39 but you what I am so thankful that when Jesus 00:41 created this world he gave us delicious 00:44 and healthy food to eat. 00:46 I suppose he could have made us in such way 00:48 that we you know get our nutrients from the air, 00:50 you know just breathe them in or absorb them 00:54 through our skin. 00:56 I think it's wonderful that Jesus created 00:58 all the foods that grow. 00:59 And all the different tastes available to us. 01:02 And then he made our tongues with the little 01:04 taste buds so that we can relish all those wonderful 01:07 and different flavors. 01:09 Jesus made us to enjoy life didn't he, 01:12 but he also made us with the power of choice. 01:15 Unfortunately not everything available 01:17 to eat is good for us. 01:19 He wants us to choose foods that are healthy for us, 01:22 but of course we have to make choices about 01:25 many other things as well don't we. 01:27 Some choices we make are simple ones, 01:30 you know like are we going to wear the gray shirt 01:34 or maybe the blue one like this one. 01:36 Or do we want to sit in front of the bus 01:38 or in the back of the bus or may be at school, 01:42 in the library, are we going to chose 01:43 the biography or a book on poetry. 01:47 But other choices are not so simple 01:50 and they are much more important. 01:52 Are we going to choose to study? 01:54 You know work hard or are we gonna cheat 01:58 and are you going to chose to say no to drugs 02:01 or do something illegal and unhealthful. 02:05 Are you going to gossip about someone 02:07 or are you going to only speak very kind things 02:12 and most important of all are you going to 02:15 make Jesus the Lord of your life 02:18 or will you choose SatanF 02:21 Today's Bible story tells us about a man 02:23 who made a wrong choice. 02:25 In fact in some ways that could be called 02:28 the worst choice anyone every made. 02:30 Be sure you pray to Jesus, 02:33 and I want you to ask him to help you to make right 02:36 choices in your life okay. 02:38 Alright now, Ranger Jim is going to take us to Florida 02:42 and he is going to tell us about some tropical fish, 02:44 beautiful fish. 02:46 He is also going to introduce you to 02:48 someone I love very, very much. 02:58 Hi, boys and girls Ranger Jim here saying 03:00 welcome to nature time we are at Florida 03:03 Silver Springs and we are really enjoying ourselves. 03:06 This is a beautiful place and we would 03:08 recommend if you come to Florida that 03:10 you bring your family here. 03:11 You will be thrilled at the things you see, 03:14 now this is a little bit of a different segment 03:16 today that we are doing because we have brought 03:18 some special people with us. 03:20 Brenda the host of the show has her Mom with us 03:23 and here she is today you can see over here 03:26 Bernice Micheff and she is supposed to smile 03:29 and may be wave at you so you'll know 03:31 who she is and also we have my wife 03:34 Mrs. Ranger Jim JoAnne here 03:36 and so they are with us today, 03:37 we are enjoying their company as much 03:39 and we are also happy to have our friend 03:42 Jesse with us again today. 03:43 And Jesse and I are going to talking about some 03:45 of these beautiful fish that we re seeing today. 03:47 Jesse tell us about some of these fish. 03:48 Identify some of these fish we are seeing for us. 03:51 Actually that's a big gar, 03:52 that's about a four foot gar 03:54 and you'll see a lot of different types of 03:56 fish in the river, you will see blue gill, 03:57 you'll see mudfish, huge mudfish. 04:00 You will see bluegill, bass, bream 04:04 you will even seen mullet. 04:05 Now believe it or not the mullet come all way 04:06 from the Atlantic side down to the 04:08 St. Johns River across Lake George. 04:11 They'll come into the Ocklawaha River, 04:12 which leads to Silver River, 04:13 they will come right in. That's right, 04:15 miles and miles Very long way 04:17 they will come all way up into the main stream 04:19 and you will see schools 04:20 and schools of these animals. 04:21 They are algae eaters of the mullet, 04:24 but you'll even see different 04:25 wildlife underwater, you will see the turtles 04:27 which actually the turtles feed off 04:28 the aquatic vegetation here. 04:31 You will see the snake neck bird 04:32 which is very interesting, the Cormorants 04:34 and the Anhingas. 04:35 Now years and years ago longtime ago in the orient 04:38 they used to put a ring around these birds necks 04:41 and actually fish them and they would pull, 04:43 as soon as the bird got a fish they would pull 04:44 them up take the fish from them. 04:46 That seems cruel. Well, they would give the bird 04:48 a fish every once in a while to feed it. 04:50 If you work hard you could have 04:51 one of these. Sure absolutely 04:52 and you'll see those birds right under water 04:54 and actually they will sit on the limbs 04:57 dry their wings. 04:58 They look very erratic and sort of like clumsy 05:01 when you see this animals under water 05:03 they're just pristine and they're beautiful, 05:04 they're almost like otters, 05:05 they fold everything back. 05:07 Their feathers are very smooth 05:08 and they are one of the few birds that can't really, 05:10 they don't have any oil and 05:11 their feathers are actually, 05:12 keep the feathers dry so they have got to get 05:14 out of the water climb upon a limb 05:16 and hold their wings out for the sun to dry 05:18 so they can go back and fly again 05:20 and very interesting. 05:21 And interesting to watch them too boys and girls 05:22 when they catch a fish they will spray with that 05:24 sharp beak that come up 05:25 and toss him up in the air and catch him head first, 05:28 I don't know how they do it but they catch him 05:30 always following him head first because that 05:32 makes the fins, the sharp fins lean back like this. 05:34 They can swallow in head first but they are great 05:36 at that tossing them in the air and catching them. 05:37 Exactly, they are very good, a lot of. A lot of 05:41 people ask about the eelgrass your looking at, 05:43 now when you see a turtle swimming by and 05:45 they're sort nibbling that eelgrass it's just like 05:47 when you and I go and prune our plants. That of 05:49 course gives that plant new life, it's gonna grow 05:51 healthier, its gonna grow a lot more and of course 05:54 it provides a lot of oxygen. This is the 05:56 biggest spring in North America there is more 05:58 water pumped out of here each day than anywhere 06:01 in North America. The biggest spring, that's 06:03 beautiful, lot of wildlife, lot of underwater life and 06:07 you'll just see the schools of shad, 06:08 the schools of mullet, even the big alligators. 06:11 You'll see an alligator sitting on the bottom, 06:14 they can hold the breath for a couple of hours at 06:15 time like coming up for air they metabolize their 06:18 bodies. Actually if were to take the heart rate of 06:21 an alligator and two minutes it would have like 06:23 three heart beats so they slower the things down, 06:26 they're reptiles, they are the actual definition of 06:29 these pristine dinosaurs. Just absolutely amazing 06:32 ain't it. All of these creatures that we see and 06:35 if we study them everyone in great detail 06:37 would learn, you can learn something new about 06:38 them all the time. I am amazed I have been 06:40 studying them all my life and I am amazed that I 06:42 study them. We see tiny little mullets down there, 06:44 tiny blue bluegills maybe this long. They are bait, 06:48 they're important for the larger fish without them 06:50 they wouldn't survive, the whole program would 06:52 collapse. Everything has a purpose your right Jim. 06:55 Every single little organism has a purpose 06:57 here, that's right, that's very important. 06:58 Like you're talking about the tiny algae that is 07:00 important, the turtle comes by he takes a nip 07:02 off, he is getting nourishment from that, 07:04 even when fish die and decay and fall to the 07:07 bottom of the spring here there is a purpose in that 07:09 too. There is. Adds nutrient to the 07:11 water and what have you. So, it's just 07:13 fascinating. I am sure that we're going to seeing 07:15 many things while we are here in this park and we 07:18 are gonna enjoy it thoroughly. So, boys and 07:20 girls I want to say this again I don't want this to 07:22 sound too much like for we're going, just make 07:23 this into one continuous commercial but I am 07:26 excited about this. This is going to be a fun time 07:28 the things we are seeing and we are out in a glass 07:31 bottom boat and if you come here and go out in a 07:33 glass bottom boat you will here some of the 07:35 sounds that we have. Because we through narrow 07:37 places as we travel along you may hear a branch 07:39 that will clump on the side of the boat that's 07:41 nothing to worry about, these people that do this 07:43 are professionals, they do it everyday. 07:46 So, you're in good hands. So, this is always 07:49 Ranger Jim telling you don't forget to tell Jesus 07:52 that you love him because he 07:54 really does love you. 08:11 Charge. Hello, boys and girls we're here at 08:15 the first international kids time football 08:17 championship where in Debbie can complete a 08:20 pass to Andrew we will have a new champion. 08:22 Let's look in on the action. Go 42, 08:25 Go 42 set hike, Debbie she throws in, Andrew 08:30 catches it touch down. I love to clap my hands 08:35 cheer, but Bethany is there a better time to 08:38 clap my hands. Yes. The Bible says to clap your 08:41 hands when you praise the Lord. 08:48 Clap Your hands, shout for joy 08:52 Thank you God, everyone clap your hands, 08:58 Shout for joy, sing to God from sun to sun. 09:04 This is the day, This is the day, 09:07 That the Lord has made, That the Lord has made 09:12 We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, 09:17 and be glad in it. This is the day that Lord 09:22 has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 09:26 Clap Your hands, shout for joy. 09:30 Sing to God everyone, clap your hands 09:36 Shout for joy, sing to God 09:39 from sun to sun. 09:55 Oh, who can make a flower I know I can't can you 10:02 Oh, who can make a flower No one but God has to 10:11 Oh, who can make a sunshine I know I can't 10:17 can you Oh, who can make a sunshine 10:23 No one but God has to Oh, who can make our 10:30 hearts clean I am sure I can't can you 10:35 Oh, who can make our hearts clean 10:39 No one but God has to 10:56 I can remember the first time I met God. 11:00 I'll remember it as long as I live, I must have 11:04 been lying down because that's how I woke up. 11:09 It suddenly felt like there was a warm rushing 11:11 gentle wind going through me, something strange 11:14 started to happen. I opened my eyes and as I 11:17 adjusted to the bright light around me I saw him, 11:21 he was close to my face in fact so close I could 11:25 feel his breath. He smiled at me when I opened 11:28 my eyes, the first thing I saw was the smiling face 11:33 of God. He gently touched my face with his hand 11:37 and then held it out for me to grasp, I reached 11:41 out with wonder and who this person could be 11:44 and then he spoke, he told me he was my creator 11:49 and that he had just make, God named me Adam. 11:54 Hi, there was such excitement and joy in his 11:56 voice I think he'd hardly wait to tell me 11:59 everything. He took me all around the garden and 12:02 showed me all the flowers, the birds, 12:04 the trees, the animals, the fish. Why he told me, 12:08 he told me I could name the animals whatever I 12:10 wanted, that this special garden was going to be 12:14 my home. Oh my! That was so much fun, 12:17 God and I laugh together as the animals came up, 12:20 they were also different but wonderful. 12:24 I remember the first time I saw the lion with his 12:26 soft fuzzy mane. I put his giant paw on my lap 12:31 and roared with the gentle roar, I hugged his 12:34 mane and wrestled with him. He playfully opened 12:38 his mouth and licked my face. And than this little 12:43 dog came yipping by my leg, he wanted to join in 12:47 too. And I petted him on his head and he jumped 12:50 up into my the arms, he stayed there until the 12:52 animals were named. Somehow this little dog 12:57 wanted, didn't want to leave me. So, I let him 12:59 follow me everywhere what a sweet 13:02 curly little fellow he is. 13:05 I remember the first time I ate a pear. God picked 13:08 it for me and told me to eat it, I took a bite, 13:12 it was so sweet and yummy. I smiled and God 13:15 smiled too, he seemed to be really happy when 13:18 he saw how happy I was, when I tried something 13:21 new he always looked at my face to watch my 13:25 reactions and then he would laugh and delight 13:28 especially when I ate the gooseberry. Oow! 13:31 The gooseberry was sour and I scrunched up my 13:34 face as soon I ate it, we both had the laugh about 13:38 that. When God laughed the whole garden seemed 13:41 to stop and listen, it was more beautiful than any 13:45 song the bird could sing or the sound I'd ever 13:48 heard. God told me about the flowers and the 13:51 birds, the birds would come and they would land 13:54 on my finger. God taught me how to whistle and 13:58 call for them. Then God took me to a special spot 14:01 in the garden where they were two trees on one 14:05 part of the garden was the tree of the life and on 14:08 the other part was the tree of knowledge of good 14:10 and evil. God had a very serious look on his face 14:14 when he told about those two trees. He said that 14:18 one tree was good to eat from, that was the tree of 14:21 the life and the fruit of the other tree was not for 14:25 me to eat. God said that I should never eat for it, 14:28 from it. Because I would surely die, but he gave 14:31 me a choice. He said that he would not force me 14:35 to obey that must be my choice. Well, I listened 14:41 very carefully, but I was very glad when I went 14:44 away from that tree the tree of knowledge of good 14:47 and evil. The fruit from the tree of life was the 14:50 best I'd ever tasted so far in the garden. And I 14:53 quickly began exploring the garden. The Garden 14:55 with God again, well we walked through the 14:58 garden on the soft green grass bare foot. 15:03 We splashed through the streams and ran a race 15:05 up a hill which overlooked the garden. God told 15:08 me how; he had made the sky and separated the 15:12 water from the land. He told me about the sun and 15:15 that there would be a moon at night to light the 15:17 garden as well as many many stars. He told me he 15:20 would leave at night and that I would sleep. 15:23 I asked him what sleep was? He told me that 15:27 I would just rest and then wake up when the sun 15:29 came up again in the morning, he also knew I 15:32 I was glad that God was there to explain things to 15:35 me. Soon, the sun started to go down. God and I 15:39 were very close and he helped me find a soft, 15:43 grassy spot under the wines where I could go to 15:45 sleep. He told me how happy he was to spend 15:49 time with me and that he could hardly wait to see 15:52 me again tomorrow morning. He said there 15:54 were many more things to do tomorrow. I love 15:57 God, Oh! I knew he would be my best friend and I 16:02 decided that I will always choice to obey and love 16:05 him. He held my hand and I fell a sleep listening 16:09 to his gentle breathing, before I knew it, first day 16:13 in the Garden was over. I will never forget that 16:16 first day in the garden as long as I 16:19 I live. It was the first I met God. 16:55 Create in me a clean heart oh Lord my God 17:04 And renew a right spirit within me, 17:12 Create in me a clean heart oh Lord my God 17:20 And renew a right spirit within me 17:28 Cast me not away From thy presence oh Lord 17:37 Take not thy Holy Spirit from me 17:45 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation 17:54 Oh my God, and renew a right spirit within me 18:05 Create in me a clean heart oh Lord my God 18:14 And renew a right spirit within me 18:22 Create in me a clean heart oh Lord my God 18:30 And renew a right spirit within me 18:39 Cast me not away From thy presence oh Lord 18:47 Take not thy Holy Spirit from me 18:55 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation 19:04 Oh my God, and renew a right spirit within me 19:16 Create in me a clean heart oh Lord my God 19:24 And renew a right spirit within me, within me 20:07 I want to thank the Bond family for that 20:10 beautiful song.
