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.
00:16 Let's tell them that He loves us so.
00:20 Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time.
00:25 Oh, hi, boys and girls.
00:27 I was just writing a letter to my friend Morrie.
00:29 She lives far away in Richmond, Virginia
00:32 and I don't get to see her very often.
00:34 I love to write and tell her all about my grandson Michael
00:38 and how cute he is and all the sweet things he does
00:40 and do you know what, she likes to receive
00:42 my letters and hear about it.
00:44 She also likes to write and tell me
00:45 about her granddaughter Makela and I love hearing about her.
00:49 How about you?
00:50 Have you ever received the letter from anyone?
00:53 If so, you know the excitement that you feel
00:55 when the envelope comes in the mail
00:57 and your name is on it and your friends name
01:00 is in the upper left hand corner.
01:01 Oh, I'm sure you just tear that envelope--open
01:04 as fast as you can just to see what your friend has to say.
01:08 Maybe you like to write letters too.
01:10 Just imagine how happy someone will be
01:12 when they receive a letter from you.
01:15 Today, people don't write letters
01:16 as much as they did in the past.
01:18 I think email has a lot to do with that.
01:21 People can easily quickly dash off a quick note
01:24 to communicate almost instantly
01:26 with anyone else who uses email.
01:28 But, you know what, when you use email
01:32 you usually type a quick note and you don't normally put
01:35 a lot of thought into it, do you?
01:37 Probably less thought than if we were to sit down
01:39 and write a long leisure letter
01:42 like I wouldn't probably take the time to tell her
01:44 how cute Michael was when he hit that ball
01:47 so far in the yard.
01:49 But, you know, God has written letter to us.
01:53 He didn't actually take a pen and paper
01:56 like this to write us letter, did He.
01:58 He inspired writers who loved and served Him
02:00 to write history, poetry, instruction, stories
02:04 and wise observations for us to read.
02:09 And, you know, God chose only writers
02:11 who would write thoughtfully and carefully
02:14 reflecting His ideas and wishes.
02:16 Letters are important documents,
02:18 but I think God's letter to us is called the Bible,
02:22 the Holy Bible, that's the most important letter of all.
02:26 Today's Bible story however does talk
02:29 about a man in trouble and this man
02:31 thought that a letter would solve his problem.
02:34 We will listen and find out if he was right, okay.
02:37 Well, right now though Ranger Jim
02:39 is going to tell us about Scottish Terriers.
02:48 Hi, boys and girls.
02:50 Ranger Jim saying welcome to "Nature Time."
02:51 We are glad you can join us today.
02:53 We have two new friends with us.
02:54 We have Esther and her pet and Esther is going to be
02:57 telling us something about it.
02:58 What kind of dog is this Esther?
03:00 This is a Scottish Terrier. And she is a beautiful lady.
03:03 What is her name? Greta.
03:05 Greta and Greta you are a lovely lady.
03:08 And is this typical, the black coloration in them?
03:10 Yes it is. And I understand that
03:12 there are some white strains of this dog?
03:15 Yes there are, she actually has
03:17 some white in her background.
03:19 I see. And also I understand
03:21 that the white Terriers are much more expensive
03:24 than these black. Yes they are.
03:25 They are much more so.
03:27 And this is a typical terrier, she is a little small
03:30 for her size and that is true quite often.
03:33 We may have a dog that's quite a bit larger
03:35 for the breed and then a smaller
03:37 and she is the very delicate little feminine lady, okay.
03:40 And so typical of these terriers,
03:44 is she is a picky eater.
03:45 Yes, she is very picky eater.
03:47 Do you have one boys and girls,
03:49 do you have a dog, maybe you have one
03:50 that just gulps its food down.
03:52 Then you may have another dog that just nibbles
03:54 at its food and you think it might starve,
03:56 but it's getting enough if you have the right food there,
03:58 its getting enough food.
04:00 And what about being a little independent?
04:02 She is very independent.
04:05 Very independent, has the mind of her own, right?
04:08 Yes. Okay.
04:09 What about being oh, could we--do we dare
04:12 say in the presence of a lovely lady like this
04:14 that she maybe it's just a little bit stubborn.
04:16 Yes, she is.
04:18 Okay, and that's typical with terriers
04:20 and they have a mind of their own.
04:22 And folks that are looking at this that have,
04:24 that own a Scottie know what we are talking about.
04:26 These creatures-- do you take her
04:28 to have her trimmed and got it.
04:29 Yeah, we do.
04:30 In the summer time we have her trimmed.
04:32 And it makes her much more comfortable, doesn't it. Yeah
04:35 And those of you that owns Scottie,
04:36 you will see that its individual preference
04:40 that they enjoy having her a little more fluffy.
04:43 Her hair is little longer than some people would have it.
04:45 And you can see her beard is very short and oh gush,
04:48 she is going to yawn for us.
04:49 You see she is bored with the whole product
04:51 and she has very furry ears and I think that's so neat
04:55 in this dog and she has eyebrows that hang down.
04:58 And sometimes we see older grandfather like people
05:01 they have the long eyebrows up like that
05:03 and I think my stuff, they look a little bit
05:05 like a Scottie Terrier, okay.
05:07 Tell me do you have friends that have other dogs?
05:10 Yeah, I do.
05:12 Do they enjoy coming and seeing your dog?
05:14 Yes, they do very much.
05:16 That's we have had dogs in the past
05:19 were huge big dogs and we would go to
05:21 somewhere else house and they have a little Scottie Terrier
05:23 and when they get to know you--
05:24 now a Scottie doesn't normally just come
05:26 to a stranger and jump up in their lap, do they? No.
05:29 No, they wait a while,
05:30 they are going to check you all over
05:32 and see what you are going to do.
05:33 If your quite boys and girls,
05:34 if you are visiting someone who has a Scottie,
05:36 you come up and ask the owners,
05:38 is it okay if I pet her
05:39 and if you do you just extend your hand out
05:41 and let the dog come up and sniff of your hand,
05:43 you see as she is doing now.
05:45 And once she accepts you its okay
05:47 and if the owner says it's safe,
05:48 then you might stroke her gently on the head.
05:50 So be very careful like that,
05:52 because many dogs like this Scottie is independent.
05:55 They don't want you-- you don't own me,
05:56 you can't just come in and start petting me
05:58 like you have been here for ever.
06:00 And so this is typical of these breeds
06:02 and they are very loyal breed of dogs
06:04 and they are very faithful, aren't they?
06:06 Yes. She is very faithful.
06:08 And do have you have you ever taken her to school
06:10 for show and tell. No, I haven't.
06:11 So you haven't take her there, okay.
06:13 Some time boys and girls,
06:14 I know there are many boys and girls
06:15 that are watching that take their dog to school
06:17 and show them for show and tell.
06:19 And quite often they are Scotties or they smaller.
06:22 There are different breeds of the terriers
06:25 that are much larger than this
06:26 that you may see boys and girls
06:28 and many of them have a very, very long beard here.
06:31 The female and the male have a very long beard
06:33 that hangs down and they are trimmed.
06:36 In some of the poodles you will see,
06:38 I think extremely
06:39 so but I like them better like this,
06:40 when they have their hairs a little longer.
06:42 What about brushing, do you brush her?
06:44 Yeah, I do. You keep her brushed
06:46 and comb and every thing. Do they shed much?
06:49 No, Scott Terriers
06:50 do not shed that much. Okay, that's good.
06:52 That makes them a better house pet,
06:54 doesn't it? Yes, it does.
06:55 We have some friends
06:56 who have a Golden Retriever in their home and oh,
06:59 I tell my wife we go there
07:00 but every time when I get home well,
07:02 you have to take and clean your clothes
07:03 because the retrievers they do shed,
07:06 they have a very, very deep coat.
07:08 So that makes the Scottie
07:09 even more a better pet to have in a home
07:11 and of course she is trained to a box
07:13 and she doesn't-- you don't have to worry
07:15 about them soiling or anything like that. No.
07:18 At a very early age.
07:19 And many people have problem with the Scotties,
07:21 they are little more difficult to train
07:23 but with persistence and you keep working at,
07:25 soon they will be trained.
07:26 So this has been a exciting time
07:29 and we would like to thank you
07:30 on behalf of all the boys and girls.
07:33 Its time to witness boys and girls,
07:36 that you would bring it today
07:37 and we could see your lovely pet.
07:39 So Ranger Jim as always boys and girls,
07:40 saying don't forget to tell Jesus that you love Him,
07:44 because He really does love you.
07:58 Hello, boys and girls, I am here with my son Adam.
08:02 Hi, boys and girls. And Adam, who is this?
08:05 Tilley the Barrett's dog. Tilley the Barrett's dog.
08:08 Now do we have a dog? Yes. What's her name?
08:11 Nelly. Nelly, what? Fred.
08:14 Nelly Fred, that's right,
08:15 because Brandon helped us name Nelly Fred, didn't he.
08:17 Now when you are taking care of Nelly Fred,
08:19 what do you get to do?
08:22 I feed her, I take care of her.
08:25 Do you water her sometimes? Yes.
08:27 You let her run sometimes, absolutely, absolutely.
08:31 Now, boys and girls,
08:33 we could be kind and loving to all of God's creatures,
08:36 because Jesus gave us strength.
08:42 I can do all things, I can do all things,
08:48 I can do all things through Him
08:52 who gives me strength.
08:57 I will be kind because He gives me strength.
09:03 I will be truthful because He gives me strength.
09:09 I will be loving because He gives me strength.
09:15 I will be joyful because He gives me strength.
09:22 I can do all things, I can do all things,
09:28 I can do all things through Him
09:32 who gives me strength.
09:37 I will be patient because He gives me strength.
09:43 I will be faithful because He gives me strength.
09:49 I will be gentle because He gives me strength.
09:55 I will be caring because He gives me strength.
10:03 I can do all things, I can do all things,
10:08 I can do all things through Him
10:11 who gives me strength.
10:24 My mom makes the best vegeburgers.
10:28 They are so good even my brother brings in his lunch
10:31 and he sells them to his meat eating friends.
10:34 And they throw away their meat they want to just--
10:35 they can have a vegeburger.
10:38 Well, I'll share her recipe with you now.
11:17 We are gonna start with our Yves burger
11:21 and you can use Worthington too
11:23 but Yves is my favorite, so use this.
11:27 We will go ahead and dump in the bowl.
11:32 And if you have any other kind of burger at home,
11:34 that's fine too, any kind of vegeburger,
11:37 its fine. Put in the bowl,
11:39 then we use our tofu and this is Mori-Nu tofu.
11:45 And it's what it looks like at the package
11:46 when you buy it.
11:48 And its Mori-Nu is our favorite but you can really,
11:51 you can use any kind of brand of tofu. Put this in.
11:57 Just go ahead and smash it up into the burger,
12:00 so it kind of mix them.
12:02 Use a fork and kind of mix it
12:04 and blend it in with the burger.
12:10 And get it all mashed up,
12:12 you don't want too big as a chunks,
12:13 but you don't want it all completely blended,
12:18 but you don't want humongous chunks in there.
12:22 Like this, okay. And then mix it
12:29 and you get all the chunks up,
12:31 like this and you want to mix it all up.
12:38 It really doesn't matter from there
12:39 what you put in just see that--
12:43 to get you get everything in, flour is in.
12:53 And then these,
12:58 put some bragg's liquid aminos
13:05 and our oat meal.
13:11 Mix it up, okay.
13:17 These vegeburgers are also freeze really great.
13:22 You can freeze them in.
13:24 Whenever I want something in my lunch
13:26 and don't have anything for lunch,
13:28 just go to the freezer and grab one out and thaw.
13:32 We'll add seasoning.
13:47 And the last thing that we are gonna
13:49 add is our vegenaise and vegenaise,
13:53 it's what it looks like when it comes in the bottle.
13:55 And vegenaise is, it's made with--
14:00 it's made with grapeseed oil,
14:03 so it's really good for you. You can put that in.
14:12 Put all out and mix it all up, real good.
14:19 There it's all mixed in.
14:24 Let's stir it till it looks about like this
14:26 and then we're ready to fry. Move this out of the way.
14:36 I'm gonna add a little bit of oil to fry them in,
14:39 some olive oil, just a little bit,
14:41 you don't want too much though.
14:45 Now when you take these vegeburgrers
14:48 and you want a form them in the patties
14:51 kind of with your hands, little bit more.
14:58 So that it looks kind of like a patty in oval round shape.
15:04 You're gonna take it
15:06 and put on the pan
15:16 in oil. Let fry for a second.
15:20 Now it's about ready to flip,
15:22 so I am gonna ahead and flip it.
15:25 You see how golden and brown that it, it's delicious.
15:29 Oh, I have got my finished product
15:31 here for you already in the buns and everything.
15:37 Now, if you are still eating those dead cow,
15:40 you should really try a vegeburger,
15:42 because they are really, really delicious.
15:43 I will promise you, you won't miss the meat.
15:48 Well, until next time keep cooking and eat healthy.
16:00 Slavery, I hate it.
16:03 How could one man be subject to something so terrible?
16:08 Being a slave is almost worst than being an animal.
16:11 My name is Onesimus,
16:13 and I hated slavery more than you could ever imagine,
16:16 but that is how I found myself
16:17 in the house of Philemon.
16:20 Not a bad man but a Roman citizen
16:22 who believed in slavery and I belong to Philemon.
16:27 How I hated being told what to do every moment.
16:31 How I hated being called a slave.
16:33 How I hated being told to go to
16:35 and fro from place to place.
16:38 Hating it so much that I decided
16:41 that I would run away,
16:42 a dangerous thing because slaves who run away
16:44 if captured could be tortured or even killed.
16:48 Yet, I ran away
16:49 from my master Philemon on my way to Rome.
16:53 And on my way to Rome I was so happy to be free.
16:57 And in Rome I met a man by the name of Paul,
17:02 a great preacher named Paul.
17:05 This man, Paul, told me of this wonderful
17:08 Savior's love of this Jesus of Nazareth.
17:13 This man named Jesus how He transformed
17:15 and how He changed peoples' lives
17:17 when they came in contact with Him.
17:19 Oh, what a wonderful,
17:20 wonderful man this must have been,
17:22 this Jesus of Nazareth.
17:24 Paul himself under arrest in Rome,
17:27 yet he found the time to take me in
17:32 almost as a son to him,
17:33 explaining me all the wonderful things about Jesus,
17:37 said about love and about heaven,
17:39 and about joy and happiness and peace
17:41 and the word that I love the most freedom, freedom.
17:47 I told Paul, I had indeed been a slave
17:51 and I belong to Philemon. Philemon was his friend.
17:54 I did not want to go back a slave.
17:57 Paul knew that, Paul knew that,
17:59 I wanted to be a free man
18:00 especially learning about this Jesus.
18:04 So Paul wrote the most wonderful letter to Philemon.
18:07 He didn't have to do it but he did.
18:10 He wrote the most wonderful letter to Philemon
18:13 and asked him if in Christian love
18:16 if he could find a way to forgive me for running away
18:20 and to restore my freedom and to send me back to Rome.
18:25 What a wonderful man this Paul was.
18:28 I heard he was a terrible man one day,
18:30 but what a wonderful man he had become and befriended me
18:32 and took me into his home even as one of his sons.
18:38 What love and what redemption,
18:40 what power it was in being forgiven and being free.
18:45 In Rome, I learned not only about my freedom
18:48 and about forgiveness and about Jesus,
18:50 but I also learned about
18:52 how a Savior could die for my sins.
18:56 And how someone
18:57 so wonderful could take my life
18:59 and change it and make it anew.
19:03 I learned about forgiveness,
19:05 about how God can forgive us of all of our sins.
19:08 And yet me a slave,
19:11 a man always working for others.
19:14 If however if I could not be free in body,
19:16 I could be free in mind and free in spirit,
19:19 because God, this wonderful Savior loved me.
19:24 Yes, I had run away, but even if I would run away,
19:27 even if I would run away, even I were caught,
19:31 I knew that I would always be free
19:33 in this man name Jesus.
19:36 Slavery is indeed a terrible thing
19:38 and a derogatory thing and it makes me so mad,
19:41 and makes me so angry.
19:43 But I am so happy to know that I have a Savior
19:46 who still loves me and who watches over me
19:50 each and every single day. I went back to Rome,
19:54 I went back and back into the house of Philemon,
19:57 a wonderful man,
19:59 but whether or not he forgave me
20:00 was not important anymore.
20:03 What was important to me was the Savior's love.
20:07 And although I was a slave,
20:10 I am forgiven and the heaven is for everyone.
20:14 It's for slave, it is for the rich,
20:15 it is for the poor, it is for the Jew,
20:17 it's for the Gentile, it's for everyone.
20:21 And me a lowly slave, I learned that lesson.
20:24 The salvation is for everyone,
20:26 even a lowly runaway slave as myself.
20:31 I thank God that even though I am bound by chains,
20:35 that I'm free by this man called Jesus.
20:55 Jesus went as far as to know how to pray.
21:00 What's prayer? It's simply talking to God.
21:03 Here is a prayer Jesus used as an example
21:07 of how do we should talk to God.
21:09 Matthew 6 verses 9 to 13.
21:13 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
21:16 your kingdom come, your will be done,
21:19 on earth as it is in heaven.
21:21 Give us today our daily bread.
21:23 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
21:27 And do not lead us into temptation,
21:30 but deliver us from the evil one,
21:32 for yours is the kingdom and the power
21:35 and the glory forever.
21:46 Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name
21:56 your kingdom come,
21:59 your will be done on earth as it is in heaven
22:10 Give us this day our daily bread
22:15 and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
22:24 and do not lead us into temptation
22:33 But deliver us from the evil one,
22:37 for yours is the kingdom
22:42 and the power and glory forever
22:52 Our Father, in heaven, hallowed be your name
23:16 Thank you, Nataleigh, for that beautiful song.
23:18 Well, boys and girls, I like to share
23:19 some letters with you today.

23:32 with my eight month old sister Lila.

23:36 that I had to stop playing and go inside
23:38 and prepare for Sabbath.
23:39 When they asked me what the Sabbath is,
23:41 I told them it was another name for church.
23:44 I have a song and would like to sing at "Praise Time"
23:46 if you would like me to.
23:47 Please send me an Activity Book, love Adrian.
