00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:06 looking for a friend like Jesus. It's time to share 00:11 there's a world out there; Let's tell them that 00:14 He loves us so. Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:20 Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time. 00:25 Hi boys and girls, oh! I was so sleepy, 00:30 you know my mom made this beautiful pillow 00:32 and it's so soft, I thought I just have to lay down 00:35 and take a nice nap. Isn't that beautiful and so plumpy 00:39 and soft. Okay, I wasn't really sleeping. 00:43 I was just pretending to be sleeping and taking a nap. 00:47 But today I want to tell you about an animal that spends 00:51 half of its life sleeping. And it's not pretending like 00:54 I was. I am talking about this animal right here. 00:58 Do you know what kind it is? If you guess a muskrat 01:03 or a squirrel or a bear, a seal you are wrong. 01:07 This is an otter. Otters are lots of fun to watch when 01:11 they are awake that is and the river otter lives in 01:14 North America as well as other parts of the world, 01:16 and it loves to swim and to play and sleep. It 01:20 leads a happy life, doesn't it? When it's hungry it 01:24 hunts for it's food in the fresh water or salt water 01:27 as well as on land. It's not a very fussy eater are 01:30 you little guy. Well, as I told you it loves to sleep 01:34 and sleep soundly even the water and it loves to play. 01:39 Now, if you ever had a chance to watch otters 01:40 play you'll find yourself laughing as they tuck 01:44 their webbed feet underneath them 01:46 and they slide down the slippery banks to land 01:48 in the water with a great big splash. 01:51 And then they scramble up the bank and do the same 01:54 thing all over again. Now, in the water they swim 01:58 and glide and they dive and in fact, 02:01 do you know the otters can dive up to depths 02:03 of more than 60 feet and they stay under the water 02:07 for a more than four minutes. Uh! I can't hold my breath 02:11 that long, can you? That's a long time to hold 02:13 your breath. When they come up for air, 02:15 they bob to the surface almost like a, 02:18 almost like a little beach ball with whispers 02:20 and flipping and their eyes are shining and they're 02:22 looking as if they're about to smile and laugh 02:26 at any at you any minute and they do have fun. 02:30 You know I think in some ways Jesus would like us 02:32 to be like otters. He wants us to be happy, 02:34 to play hard and work hard and to sleep hard. 02:39 He doesn't want us to be fussy eaters but 02:41 to be faithful for the food someone has worked 02:43 very hard to provide for us. And he wants us 02:46 to enjoy ourselves in this wonderful world that 02:49 he has made and he wants us to always get plenty 02:52 of sleep so that we'll feel well enough to do all 02:55 these wonderful things. Well, now Ranger Jim 02:58 is going to tell us more about the otters. 03:08 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying welcome 03:09 to Nature Time. We're glad you can join us today. 03:12 You see what we have. We have the beautiful 03:15 river otter. We have two of them here. 03:17 Olga and Way Water, she's swimming around and 03:20 enjoying this place. We've been trying to get them 03:22 to come out and they've been asleep. 03:24 We're here about noon today and they were 03:26 sleeping and we had to awake them to come out 03:28 to be on television. The river otter is a very 03:31 interesting creature. In fact, 03:32 many people call them the clown of the animal 03:34 kingdom because they love to slide like you like to 03:37 slide if you live in a Northern climate. 03:39 And you will see them sliding down a river bank 03:41 maybe if it's muddy, may be if it's green grass 03:43 where we live in the Southern part of Florida. 03:46 We have a female that has three cubs with her 03:49 and she enjoys picking them up on the grass 03:52 and they slide down into the water. 03:53 They seem to never tire up here, 03:55 play like this sometime for a half an hour. 03:57 We have learned something else also that when 03:59 the otter has her den and she likes to dig back 04:02 in the bank of the river or the lake back amongst 04:05 the roots and make a very nice, quite comfortable 04:08 den, she lines it with soft material when her babies 04:11 are born, they are born typical of babies born 04:13 to mammals, they are quite helpless for sometimes 04:16 and of course they nurse from mammary glands 04:18 on her belly and then when they're able to travel 04:21 with their mother they go out and travel back 04:23 and forth with her and we have learned also and 04:26 all the fisherman know there is no safe place 04:28 to keep fish from an otter. If you do it must be 04:31 something that it fastened so tight that they can't 04:34 unfasten it. If it's regular latch or if it's a fish 04:39 basket that most people will use they simply go 04:41 inside and eat all the fish. They're a great fisherman. 04:44 They would chase down almost any fish that's 04:46 swimming back and forth in their territory. 04:49 The sea otter is much larger than the river otter 04:53 that you see here and if you live in an area where 04:55 the sea otter is prevalent if you live in coastal areas 04:58 you will find that the sea otter is much larger 05:00 than this and if you live where there are salt kelp, 05:05 floating debris or not debris really it is a 05:09 growing matter. The sea otter likes to lay on that 05:13 and relax and when they're eating they relax 05:16 and lay back with that and you can tell the difference 05:19 in a very young otter, a sea otter is the coloration 05:23 and sometimes you will see them, 05:24 they're quite gray and some of them are almost 05:27 white headed, so they call those old timers. 05:29 But with a river otter, the babies stay with 05:32 their mother for about a year or so and as 05:34 I said before their favorite food is fish and I 05:37 have in my bag some of things that we've been 05:38 feeding them. And you see here I have very small 05:42 fish that they, that they enjoy, we feed them that, 05:45 that is a very nutritional meal for them. 05:48 They also like to, they will open clamps, 05:51 they will open the shells of oysters and things 05:54 of that nature. They will take just about anything 05:57 fresh that they find. You cannot attract them, 06:00 people that try to attract the otter you will not 06:03 attract them with anything that's dead or has 06:05 any taint or smell about it. 06:07 And so the otter we can say would live to be 12 06:11 or 15 years, the mother always has two, 06:13 may be three cubs and the mother has very 06:17 nourishing milk, and the otters grow very rapidly. 06:20 Their pelt is very valuable because of its soft 06:24 consistency and many people have trapped these 06:27 animals in the early history of America they were 06:30 trapped almost to extinction, because they 06:32 do have such beautiful coats. 06:33 So, we have the river otter and if you live in an area 06:36 where they are and you can find a secured place 06:38 where they're feeding or where they live and travel. 06:40 You would be wise to spend sometime 06:43 as I have and enjoy the antics that they can do. 06:46 They enjoy chasing each other, chasing their own 06:48 tail much the same as a dog or a cat and when 06:50 you have two or three baby otters playing 06:52 on a river bank you can spend an hour so 06:55 and not even know the time passed. 06:57 So, boys and girls, another wonderful creature 07:00 that God has made. He's given the many abilities 07:02 and many things that we can study and learn 07:05 about them. They have perhaps the sharpest 07:07 teeth of any creature that I know. 07:09 Even when they're tiny you can't handle them 07:11 because their teeth are even sharper than that 07:13 of your kitty and you know how sharp that can be. 07:16 So, boys and girls, whatever animal it is that 07:19 He has made, including the river otter, 07:21 he made it perfect the very first time. 07:24 The first river otter was perfect when He finished 07:26 creating that, and we are to study them and learn 07:29 about them and honor them and share the earth 07:32 with them, so that they might live peacefully 07:34 with us. So, as always your friend Ranger Jim 07:38 telling you don't forget to tell Jesus that 07:40 you love him today because he loves the otters, 07:42 but most of all he loves boys and girls like you. 07:55 Hello, boys and girls, I am here with my daughter 07:57 Hannah. Hannah, I have to ask you a question 07:59 when you get to heaven what are you not gonna miss. 08:02 Poison ivy and mosquitoes. Oh! It sounds like 08:06 something your Brother Adam would say, 08:07 Adam does not like poison ivy and mosquitoes 08:10 and neither do I. You know, Revelation 21 says 08:12 when we get to heaven, there will be a new heaven 08:14 and a new earth and all that other stuff 08:16 would be passed away. I can't wait. 08:25 Hey little dove, so brown and gray, 08:27 you make such a sad, sad sound. 08:30 But you won't be alone in dawn of day when 08:33 the Lord of the earth comes down. 08:36 And hey willow tree with your falling leaves flow 08:39 like tears to the ground. Oh you won't be a weakling 08:44 on that day when the Lord of the earth comes down, 08:47 you'll be a laughing willow and a dancing dove 08:51 made brand new by the Lord above, 08:53 no more sorrow only joy above, 08:59 laughing willow and a dancing dove. 09:07 Hey pretty leaves with the little green stem 09:09 and a pointy sponge all around, you'll 09:13 be a joy to hold back down when the Lord 09:16 of the earth comes down. And yes 09:19 Mr. Skunk with your awful scent lets just move 09:23 you around, you won't have to smell bad anymore 09:27 when the Lord of the earth comes down. Just 09:30 like the laughing willow and the dancing dove 09:34 made brand new by the Lord above, 09:36 no more sorrow only joy above, the laughing willow 09:42 and the dancing dove. And little one with 09:49 your face so sad, does it seem your life is turning 09:55 out so bad, when the Lord of love given half 10:01 a chance makes your heart to smile and your feet 10:07 to dance, just like the laughing willow and the 10:11 dancing dove made brand new by the Lord above, 10:15 no more sorrow only joy above, laughing willow 10:22 and the dancing dove. Laughing 10:24 willow and the dancing dove. 10:43 Hi, today we're gonna make harvest muffins. 10:46 These muffins are delicious. They go with almost any 10:49 meal. You can put them with the fruit salad 10:50 or just about any meal. Now, 10:53 first I am gonna read you my recipe. 10:57 2 cups shredded unpeeled apples 11:00 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries 11:04 1 cup shredded carrots 11:07 1 1/4 cup sucanat or date sugar 11:11 2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour 11:15 1 tbsp. baking powder 2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. cinnamon 11:22 ½ cup water ½ cup olive oil 11:28 Okay, first I am gonna add all the dry ingredients 11:30 together. I'm gonna put our salt and our flour, 11:39 our whole wheat pastry flour, and this is sucanat 11:44 but you could also use date sugar or maple sugar 11:47 it's good too, good sweetener. 11:53 And put cinnamon and the baking powder, 12:03 you mix all the dry ingredients up first 12:05 before you put any of the wet ingredients. 12:09 Mix that up real good, oops spilled a little bit, okay. 12:17 I'm gonna put the apples and all the carrots. 12:21 The apples and the carrots we're gonna put in last. 12:22 So, I'll go ahead and put the water in, 12:28 and the oil. And then we're gonna put the apples 12:36 in and the apples there are a little brown here 12:40 but the apples when you shred them, 12:42 they're always going to turn brown like real soon 12:46 so and when you grate the apples you're gonna be 12:50 real careful and grate it on this side but be real 12:53 careful not to get your hands. It'll really hurt. 12:58 And now we gonna add the apples, the carrots, 13:23 gonna hold this, mix it all up. You 13:36 mix till it's about this consistency and then take 13:42 our baking muffin pans and put some, 13:48 you want to make sure you never wanna, 13:50 you don't wanna put same amount. 13:52 Make sure you put the same amount in each one, 13:53 but don't, when you get in there. Be sure 13:57 not to flatten it 'cause it won't rise as good. 14:00 It won't rise up. We'll do a few of these. 14:05 Scoop it off in there. Make sure to well kind of level it 14:15 off but don't smush it, to the way it looks. 14:18 But you want it even. Okay, we'll show you the 14:26 finished product here. These are what the muffins 14:35 look like. You want to bake this at 14:36 350 for 20 to 25 minutes until its going brown 14:40 or until it looks like this. These look delicious, 14:46 might have one for myself. Remember 14:50 to keep cooking and eat healthy. 15:06 Oh! Hello Boys and girls, how are you? 15:09 I am King Hezekiah. I bet you're wondering 15:12 what I am doing here. Well, I am wondering the 15:15 same thing. I have a little story, I like to share with 15:18 you if you got few moments. It's about my father. 15:22 My father King Ahaz, I as his son knew at the time 15:28 that he was King that he was a wicked King. 15:32 He built alters unto false Gods. He had build, 15:36 planted groves for the people to worship false Gods 15:38 in and because of that the God, the creator of the 15:42 heavens and the earth, he left us and we 15:47 became a weak nation and many of our people were 15:50 taken captive and made slaves. 15:53 And I had made a decision in my heart that when 15:56 I became King I would not do some of the things 16:05 that he had done. Well, my father he eventually died, 16:06 and he was such a wicked King that they wouldn't 16:10 even bury him in the tombs of the Kings. 16:15 Though they did bury him in the city, 16:17 well at the beginning of my reign I decided that I would 16:22 call the priest to gather and Levites to gather 16:25 and that we would renew the temple services. 16:29 And they came together and they cleaned 16:33 the outer court, they cleaned the inner court 16:36 and they were preparing the temple for the passover 16:40 and surely there after, after the temple was cleaned, 16:44 our nation had a wonderful passover service. 16:48 Our revival as a nation was one of the greatest 16:50 revival since the time of King David. 16:54 And I was a happy man. Well, that revival was 17:00 so great and God was with us and he was showing 17:02 us that he was with us so much at one time King 17:05 Sennacherib from Assyria they surrounded our 17:10 cities and laid siege to us. Well, God in one night 17:17 sent an angel and he destroyed 185,000 Assyrians 17:23 in one night. And King Sennacherib he went home 17:27 in shame. And there he even died at the hands 17:30 of his own two sons. Later I became sick and the 17:37 Prophet Isaiah came unto me and says, 17:39 King Hezekiah, get your house in order for this 17:43 sickness it is unto death. Well, I didn't want to die 17:50 and as Isaiah left I turned my face towards the wall 17:54 and I began to pray to God. And before Isaiah 17:57 got out of the it's center court of the temple. 18:01 He turned back 'cause God told him to go back and 18:04 tell me that I was gonna live. 18:07 But when he told me that I said, well what would 18:08 be the sign that I am going to live. 18:11 He said, I can choose that the sun would go forward 18:14 10 degrees or the sun could go backwards 18:16 10 degrees. Well, of course, the sun goes forwards 18:20 all the time. So, I felt it would be a greater sign 18:23 for the sun to go backwards 10 degrees. 18:27 Well, sure enough it happened the way I asked 18:31 it to happen. And Isaiah made a prescription 18:35 that I should put some figs on the boil that 18:37 I had during my sickness and in three days 18:41 I was healed. I knew the Lord was with me, 18:45 and I praise God for that healing and then 18:48 I was able to attend the temple services again. 18:51 Well, I think that made me proud because some 18:56 ambassadors from Babylon came because 18:59 they heard about the miracle of the sun 19:01 and they also heard about my sickness and how the 19:03 miracle of the sun going backwards was a sign 19:05 to me that my God was going to heal me. 19:09 Well, because of my pride, not giving God the glory 19:14 and the honor for what happened. 19:17 I went and showed those ambassadors all my 19:20 treasures. I didn't even want to say a thing about 19:23 my God. I showed my glory, my cities, my treasure. 19:28 It was a big mistake on my part. 19:31 Pride was hard at my throat. Well, after that 19:36 they went back. They missed, 19:39 I missed the opportunity to share with them 19:40 something wonderful. Then born to me since the 19:44 time I supposed to die was another child and 19:48 that child is going to be King of Judah 19:51 after I am gone. But I am very concerned for I can 19:56 see in him some of the same tendencies that 19:59 I saw in my father, and I'm wondering if me 20:03 living any longer. It was 15 years that God said 20:07 I would live and living longer has allowed me 20:12 time to make big mistakes in my life. 20:16 And because of those mistakes I've learned 20:19 that I need to trust God and I do now trust him 20:23 that his timing is always best. Kids, 20:26 boys and girls, have you ever made any mistakes 20:30 in your life like I've made these last few years. 20:35 God will forgive you of any of your sins 20:38 as he has forgiven me. Isn't he a wonderful 20:42 God we serve? If you would just 20:44 ask him he will forgive you. 21:09 Into my heart, Into my heart, 21:17 Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. 21:24 Come in to stay, Come in always, 21:31 Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. 21:40 Out of my heart, Out of my heart, 21:47 Shine out my heart, Lord Jesus. 21:54 Shine out always, shine out always, 22:02 Shine out all my heart, Lord Jesus. 22:11 Shine out all my heart, Lord Jesus. 22:30 Thank you Taylor and Mark for that beautiful song. 22:33 Taylor is just 3 years old and already singing 22:35 with his daddy, isn't that wonderful? 22:37 Well, boys and girls I'd like to introduce you 22:39 to our guest today, this is Christine Thomas. 22:41 Hi Christine.
