00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:07 Looking for a friend like Jesus. It's time to share 00:12 there's a world out there; let's tell them 00:14 that He loves us so. Let's tell them that He 00:18 loves us so. Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time. 00:25 Hi, boys and girls. I'd like you to listen to this 00:27 sound. Isn't it beautiful? But maybe a little eery, 00:40 all at the same kind wouldn't you agree? 00:43 How would you like to be snuggled up in a sleeping 00:45 bag around the camp? Snowflakes are falling and 00:50 winds blowing, and certainly you hear this sound. 00:56 That would tell you that a wolf, or a wolf pack 00:58 somewhere out there in the darkness was howling at 01:01 the stars. You know, a wolf looks lot like a big dog 01:06 and they do belong to the same family, 01:08 but wolves they're wild animals and they form 01:11 families and run in packs, protecting each other and 01:14 hunting together. Do you know, mother and father 01:17 wolf make excellent parents and they take good care 01:19 of their furry babies. Yet people have many different 01:23 feelings about wolves. Some people are very afraid of 01:27 wolves thinking that they are savage killers. 01:29 And some people love them so much that they form 01:32 save the wolf clubs and they try to pass laws to 01:35 protect the wolves, others say that to them the wolf 01:39 represents more than anything else all the beauty 01:42 and wonder of nature. You know, other feel that 01:45 the wolf is a thief and now he is going steal the 01:48 farmer's cattle, every chance he has, but you know, 01:51 with all these different ideas it's no wonder people 01:54 are confused about wolves. I've noticed that you 01:58 know, people can be confused about many other things 02:01 as well. Suppose that you hear stories about a friend. 02:06 Now, maybe some of the stories are good and 02:08 some are bad. Or you might hear different ideas about 02:11 what is healthful and what is not? And you can hear 02:15 different stories even about God. How do you decide 02:19 what to believe? It's not always easy, is it? 02:23 But the first thing to remember is not to believe 02:25 everything you hear and never repeat a story that 02:28 may not be true. You have to check things out for 02:32 yourself? Find out what is true about your friend by 02:35 getting to know him or her. And do some waiting 02:38 and talk to knowledgeable people who have 02:40 studied health, like nutritionists to find out what 02:42 is healthful and what is not? And as for God the Bible 02:47 is his book and reading it would tell you what he's 02:50 really like, you can also talk with him in prayer and 02:53 as you do, you're going to get to know him much 02:56 better. Well, right now Ranger Jim is going to show us 03:00 a wolf and do you know what boys and girls? 03:02 He is standing right next to the wolf and there 03:05 is no fence in between him watch and see. 03:15 Hi, boys and girls. Ranger Jim saying, 03:17 welcome to Nature Time, we're glad you can be with 03:19 us today, we're at the St. Augustine Wild Reserve 03:21 and we have our friend Debra with us and we 03:23 have something very special for you. Debra what is this? 03:27 This is an arctic wolf; his name is Mekiska, 03:30 and I'm trying get him to look at the camera for 03:32 you. And he is actually from the high arctic from 03:35 an island called Ellesmere Island, and this is the 03:38 largest subspecies of wolf. There are actually 32 03:42 subspecies of wolf, and the arctic is the largest and 03:45 he weighs about 130 pounds right now. And he's an 03:49 old boy, he's about 13, and in the wild they wouldn't 03:53 even live this long. They would only live to about 12 03:56 years old, so he's a very lucky wolf and we hope 03:58 that he lives another ten years the great, 04:02 hunting boy, He's gonna calm down. He's just 04:04 beautiful, isn't he? He is just beautiful and of 04:06 course these are carnivores? Oh! Yes, 04:08 this is a strict carnivore, and they'll eat caribou, 04:12 deer, but they have a very wide diet, they love, 04:16 no don't you? Don't go over here. They will actually 04:19 eat mice; they will eat anything from mice to moose. 04:22 So, they've got quite a, quite a wide menu choice. 04:26 Well, tell us a something about the howl, 04:27 everyone likes to hear the howl of the wolf, 04:29 tell me something about that. Oh! Yeah, they howl 04:31 for a lot of different reasons, they do not howl 04:33 at the moon, as you've all heard that, that's just, 04:36 that's just a tale, and they'll howl to communicate 04:39 with each other, when they're ready to go off on 04:41 the hunt, the wolves will start howling to gather 04:43 up the pack and that's when they'll take off and 04:46 go hunting. And if they get separated from each 04:48 other they'll howl and that will bring the pack back 04:51 together again. And, sometimes, they'll howl just 04:54 for fun, they'll just lay around and, and start 04:56 howling for no reason at all. Very special music is 04:59 it our ears to hear that song. Oh! Yeah. 05:00 My wife and I was in Alaska, where we had that 05:05 opportunity of hearing them howling in the wild 05:06 and at first it makes you shiver a bit, but then it is 05:07 beautiful music. Tell us something about how many 05:10 cubs would they normally have? In the wild, 05:12 they would only have about 4 to 6 babies and 05:16 they'll stay with the parents. Well, actually, 05:18 until they're six months old is when they'll start 05:21 hunting with the pack, they reach adult size at 6 months 05:24 of age, and they'll be off hunting with the pack 05:27 and they will stay with the pack. So, a pack usually 05:30 consists of uncles and aunts, there's an alpha pair, 05:33 and they're generally all related, so they don't, 05:35 they don't usually go off and start their own pack 05:37 unless they just have a disagreement with alpha 05:40 male or a female. As you can see boys and girls, 05:43 this is a big powerful animal. Debra is trying to 05:46 hang on to him and he, she knows him and she 05:49 has cautioned me not to help her or assist her 05:52 because he doesn't know me, so I'm keeping my 05:54 hand in my pocket because it's natural for me to 05:56 reach out and pet him, and if you pet this fellow you 05:58 may comeback with some problems, okay. 06:00 Yes. And so we have boys and girls, we have many 06:02 wolves in US, and many people are fearful. 06:05 Wolves have gotten a bad name because you hear 06:07 all kind of stories about wolves hunting people down 06:09 and killing them. This maybe true in India and some 06:12 parts of the world, but here in the US it's not true. 06:15 There has never been an authenticated case of 06:17 a healthy wolf attacking and killing anyone in the US. 06:21 Now, we do have problems sometimes with livestock, 06:24 like in the state of Minnesota. Minnesota has many, 06:26 many wolves and they have nuisance wolves, 06:29 that is wolves that come around homes, comes 06:31 around ranches and things of that nature, 06:34 and they soon learn that cows are not hard to 06:37 catch and they soon learn that horses, the wolf, 06:40 those in Minnesota, the favorite of theirs are burrows 06:42 and horses. And so the State has to reimburse 06:45 people that for the livestock that the wolf kills. 06:49 In fact, unfortunately in the last three years there 06:52 have been at least 300 wolves a year that have to be 06:54 destroyed in Minnesota because of that. The trappers 06:57 have to come in because the wolf learns that 06:59 there is easy food there, and so they have to come 07:02 in and trap them, if they can't release them, 07:04 then they have to be destroyed. Also these beautiful 07:07 creatures have been reintroduced into 07:09 Yellowstone National Park. And we have film of 07:12 those, and in many cases the largest pack that 07:15 we know of, of 36 wolves in one pack. Now that would 07:19 be a beautiful site to see. And so they have been 07:21 successfully reintroduced there and, there are 07:24 some problems because ranchers and farmers nearby 07:27 lose cattle, undisputably these creatures do kill 07:31 cattle, sheep and things of that nature because 07:33 they don't distinguish between the wild and those 07:36 that the rancher considered to be very valuable. 07:39 And so he does have some problems like that. 07:40 Now, that well into the shoot you see, he is all 07:42 relaxed and he's happy here. And boys and girls this 07:45 is a special privilege for Ranger Jim to stand this 07:48 close to a wolf. So, Ranger Jim as always telling you 07:52 boys and girls, don't forget to tell Jesus that 07:54 you love him, because he really does love you. 08:14 Hi, Uncle Buddy. Hello, Yasmin would you like 08:17 me to measure you, let's look and see how we're 08:19 doing here. You're more than 36 inches tall, 08:24 you're getting very tall. And didn't you just have a 08:26 birthday? Yeah. How old are you? Just four, four, 08:31 but you told me you want to be five pretty soon, 08:33 don't you? Yeah. Well, you will be five in his time. 08:45 In his time, in his time 08:53 He makes all things beautiful in his time 09:00 Lord, please show me everyday 09:04 As you're teaching me your way 09:08 As you'll do just what you say In your time. 09:48 In your time, in your time 09:56 You make all things beautiful, in your time 10:04 Lord, my life to you I bring 10:07 May each song I have to sing 10:11 Be to you a lovely thing In your time 10:20 Lord, my life to you I bring 10:24 May each song I have to sing 10:28 Be to you a lovely thing In your time 11:50 Hello, boys and girls. Have you ever had 11:53 something happen to you that was so amazing that 11:55 you just had to tell someone? You have! Well, 12:00 then you know, exactly how I feel? By the way, 12:05 my name is Malchus, you have probably never 12:08 even heard of me before that makes my story even 12:12 more amazing that something this incredible would 12:15 happen to someone is unimportant as me. 12:18 My job as a servant for the high priest meant that 12:21 I would do whatever the high priest asked me to do, 12:25 if he wanted a cup of cold water I would be the one 12:28 to get it for him. If he wanted to go to the market, 12:31 I would go with him to carry his bags. 12:35 I slept in the hallway at night, so I could hear the 12:37 high priest if he called to me. I hear lots of things 12:41 in the hallway. Things about the temple and keeping 12:44 the law of God, most recently about a man named 12:47 Jesus, the high priest doesn't like Jesus. Jesus is 12:52 more popular than the high priest. People are 12:55 listening to what Jesus says, and not what the high 12:58 priest says. Many people believe that Jesus is the 13:02 promised messiah. The high priest thinks he is a 13:06 troublemaker and needs to be killed. Lately, 13:10 it seems that is all the high priest can think about 13:13 it, getting rid of Jesus; it's really gotten bad over 13:16 the past week. Especially, since Jesus disrupted the 13:19 temple services. He overturned the tables and 13:23 sent the money changers away. Then he invited 13:26 children and their families, into the temple for 13:28 prayer. I'm not convinced that Jesus is so bad, 13:33 but the high priest is, and since I work for him I 13:37 do what I'm told. The other night Judas, one of 13:41 Jesus' disciples came; he told the high priest that he 13:46 would betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. 13:50 I waited and watched to see what the high priest 13:52 would do next? Sure enough, tonight Judas came 13:57 back to the high priest; he told him that Jesus and his 14:01 disciples were at a garden called Gethsemane. Malchus, 14:06 Malchus the high priest called, awaken all of the 14:08 guards, tell them to bring their swords, 14:11 tell them to expect to fight as we go to arrest Jesus. 14:16 Soon an angry mob gathered around the high priest 14:19 and Judas. I stood in the middle of the crowd holding 14:23 a torchlight, everyone seemed so anxious to find 14:27 Jesus. The crowd shouted, Jesus is in Gethsemane. 14:32 Let's go get him. With that we were off to the Garden. 14:38 There were lots of people on the streets tonight. 14:40 Some of them joined us in our search to find Jesus. 14:43 I carried the torch light high so everyone could 14:46 see where to walk? We arrived at the entrance to 14:50 the garden and walked in. It was very dark, a heavy 14:55 fog seemed to hang in the trees, and then suddenly 14:58 Jesus appeared. All the soldiers drew their swords, 15:02 I thought they were going to start and using their 15:04 swords right away, but then Jesus spoke, "who is it 15:08 you want?" The crowed shouted, Jesus of Nazareth, 15:14 Jesus replied, "I'm He." Suddenly there was a very 15:18 bright light that's split through the darkness. 15:20 Jesus stood there just shining, I fell back in fear. 15:24 Everyone in the crowd fell down to the ground, 15:26 blinded by the brightness of this light. Then just as 15:31 quickly as it appeared it went away. And when I 15:34 stood up, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was amazed, 15:38 Jesus was still standing there. He could have 15:40 escaped, if he had wanted too. The crowd 15:44 recovered quickly as well, wiping their eyes to 15:48 rid them of that bright light, it was Judas to make 15:51 the next move. He stepped right up to Jesus and 15:56 kissed him. The crowd gathered around Jesus and 15:59 a huge Roman soldier grabbed his wrist. 16:03 It was then that I was jostled and pushed forward. 16:06 One of the followers of Jesus pulled his sword and 16:09 without warning he began to swing and flay wildly 16:12 with the sword. I tried to duck to stay out of the 16:18 way, but just as I did the sharp edge of the blade 16:19 caught my ear. Blood gushed out all over my robe, 16:23 pain throbbed all through my head, it was awful. 16:27 I was about to faint, but then the most amazing 16:31 thing happened. Without any effort at all, 16:35 Jesus reached out and he touch the place where 16:38 my ear had been. Incidentally, miraculously, 16:43 it was back in place. The bleeding stopped, 16:46 the pain was gone. I could hear what Jesus said; 16:54 Peter put your sword away. Shall I not drink the cup 16:58 the Father has given me? Jesus was saying, 17:03 this is why I have come. I have come to die for 17:06 people like Malchus. I couldn't believe my ears, 17:11 but I had too. Because there were the ears that Jesus 17:13 had given back to me. He touched me, Malchus, 17:20 the high priest servant, not only did he touched my 17:24 ear, he touched my heart. Boys and girls he will touch 17:30 your heart too, if you let him, if you reached out and 17:34 heal someone as unimportant as me. 17:37 I know that he cares for you. In fact, 17:43 I want to tell Jesus, how much I love him; 17:47 I want to have prayer right now. 18:16 Give Ear to My Words O Lord 18:23 Consider my meditations 18:31 Hearken unto the voice of my cry 18:38 My King and My God For unto thee will I pray 18:53 My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning 19:00 O Lord in the morning Where I direct my prayers 19:07 Unto Thee and will look up 19:26 Give Ear to My Words O Lord 19:33 Consider my meditations 19:41 Hearken unto the voice of my cry 19:48 My King and My God For unto thee will I pray 20:03 My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning 20:10 O Lord in the morning Where I direct my prayers 20:17 Unto Thee and will look up O Lord in the morning 20:28 Where I direct my prayers Unto Thee and will look up. 21:02 Thank you, and we're back for that beautiful 21:03 message in song, I just love that song. 21:06 Well, right now boys and girls it's mailbox time. 21:08 And I'm getting ready to check the mailbox to see 21:11 if I have any letters. Do you think I do? I do have 21:15 some letters and a lot of mail today. I love getting 21:18 the letters boys and girls, I have one from 21:20 Canada and, and Jamaica, and Illinois, and Washington 21:25 all over, but before I read the letters, I'd like you to 21:28 meet a special guest that I invited to join me here 21:31 on Kids Time today.

Now, what do you, what do you do to share 21:49 Jesus? I share Jesus with the grandpa that we 21:52 adopted down in Crystal Lake, Michigan. 21:54 Now, wait a minute. How did you adopt to grandpa? 21:58 He is a grandpa that doesn't have any grandchildren, 22:01 well he has grandchildren, but he is never been 22:03 called the grandpa. He's old and he is 92 years old, 22:07 and he's a sudden, he can't get out hardly. 22:10 So, his, so he has some health problems now, 22:13 and his own grandchildren don't see him? 22:16 No , he is by himself, we come and find him see him 22:19 once in a while. We have, sometimes we have 22:21 Sabbath dinner with him. And we have different 22:23 things with him. Oh! Now, you did also something 22:26 special for him at Christmas, didn't you, what did 22:28 you do?
