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. 00:24 Don't be afraid it's only me, 00:27 and I am really glad to be with you today. 00:30 But I don't think you'd want me to visit you 00:32 if I were an ugly monster, would you? 00:35 Our Bible story today tells of a man 00:37 who lived a horrible life. 00:39 He had turned into a monster and simply terrified everyone. 00:44 Today people would say it was crazy, 00:46 a danger to society. 00:48 And would probably give him some sort of medicine 00:50 to keep him kind of sleepy and weak all the time 00:53 so that he couldn't hurt anyone. 00:55 But this man didn't need medicine. 00:57 You know what he needed, he needed Jesus. 01:01 You see just as Jesus is real, so is Satan and his helpers 01:05 and they had gained control over this poor man 01:08 had turned him into this monster. 01:11 But something absolutely marvelous 01:13 happened when he met Jesus. 01:16 You will have to listen and learn all about it 01:18 in today's Bible story. 01:19 But first, lets listen as Ranger Jim tells us about 01:23 how to grow bananas. 01:32 Hi, boys and girls. Look what we have today. 01:35 I'll bet you've never seen this before growing on a tree 01:39 you've probably seen them 01:40 often maybe one of your favorite foods, 01:42 it's one of mine. 01:43 And I'll bet you that you've got them some time 01:46 and it says Chiquita brand on there. 01:48 Our children used to like to take that off 01:50 and put it right up on their forehead 01:52 and walk around wearing that. Okay. 01:54 These are very small, these are called Lady Finger Bananas 01:59 and they're grown here in Florida, 02:00 this is a subtropical climate. 02:02 And we have many of these here. 02:04 The fact is we have potluck after church sometimes 02:07 and some of the native people that live here 02:08 will bring these and we all enjoy them. 02:11 And they're just tiny little miniature bananas 02:13 is what they are and those on this tree 02:16 are much larger than the ones I'm holding in my hand. 02:18 But the banana, this is a regular sized banana 02:22 your mother would buy in a store bring home for you. 02:24 And have you noticed some of them be quite small 02:27 and others maybe quite long. 02:28 That depends, they're all of same variety, 02:31 that depends upon the health of the plant. 02:33 Like with apples or oranges or anything like that. 02:36 We have apple trees in our yard at home 02:38 and some of the smaller trees, 02:40 they don't have the root system 02:41 and don't get the nutrition, 02:42 and so they don't have as large apples 02:44 but that is the difference. 02:45 But these in Florida are a different variety 02:48 and you can see on this tree 02:50 that I'm standing by that there are frost damage. 02:52 You see all the dead branches and what have you, 02:55 and that's because we had a frost this past February. 02:58 And if you live in the northern part 03:00 of United States and you say, 03:01 well that's a big deal, well it is in Florida. 03:03 My wife and I had spent our winters here 03:05 for the last seventeen years. 03:06 We've seen it frost just four times, 03:10 and so in the winter time here its nice and warm in Florida. 03:13 Now, we have some other plants 03:15 and these plants are obliviously 03:17 that they have been injured by the frost that we had 03:20 and the landowner has trimmed them back severally. 03:23 And so all that you see on these plants 03:26 are just the banana stock itself. 03:28 And then I would like to call your attention to this plant, 03:31 the beautiful blossom 03:33 that's hanging down on the fruit stock itself, 03:36 and the local people call this an ox heart, 03:39 like that of a beef heart or something hanging down. 03:42 And you can see still part of the remnant 03:44 of the beautiful blossom on it there. 03:47 That's hanging down. 03:48 And so this is a beautiful site, 03:50 we enjoy it very, very much. 03:52 These plants, if you are interested in gardening, 03:54 some older children are, for you your older children. 03:58 And we have boys and girls, 03:59 we have many people that contact us 04:01 at Kids Time and say, we are 85 or 90 years old 04:04 and we love Kids Time. 04:06 And so I will just include that 04:07 for some of the older folk that maybe gardeners, 04:10 that this plant has the tolerance for frost about 04:13 that of a green bell pepper or something like that. 04:15 So you gardeners would know that 04:17 it does not tolerate cold weather. 04:20 This is a subtropical and it likes acid soil, 04:24 it grows here in Florida well 04:25 because it has all of the sand and what have you. 04:28 And it does well here. 04:30 But it is limited in the range where you can grow it. 04:34 You can grow pineapples in the same range 04:36 that you can grow this. 04:37 But here in Florida, my wife and I 04:39 enjoy this going along the canal. 04:41 Always when we have company come, 04:43 I like to just pull up aside a tree like this 04:45 and just stop the boat and say, what do you see? 04:47 And people look at the tree and suddenly 04:49 they look at the tree and they say, 04:51 but the bananas are growing wrong, they're growing up. 04:55 We always, before you see a banana tree, 04:57 we always think of as perhaps 04:59 the fruit will be pointing down, 05:01 but the fruit as you can see is not, 05:03 it grows up like that. 05:04 And so I always enjoy that, by bringing company here, 05:07 they have never seen a banana tree. 05:09 My wife and I, when we first came to 05:11 Florida seventeen years before, 05:13 we had never seen oranges growing on a tree. 05:16 So if you live in the part of the country 05:19 you will be living in a part of the world 05:20 where bananas are as common as the apples 05:23 are to most boys and girls. 05:25 But for people who have never seen them, 05:27 they are very, very unusual. 05:29 So I hope this afternoon, boys and girls, 05:31 that you have enjoyed learning about the banana plants 05:34 and I hope that you will keep eating them, 05:36 because they are good for you. 05:38 They make you strong and they make you healthy. 05:41 And so when your mom gets them and brings them home. 05:43 I know what you like to do, 05:45 we just like to peel them back like this. 05:47 And Ranger Jim loves them on his cereal in the morning. 05:51 And Ranger Jim's wife favorite thing with bananas, 05:55 she takes a banana like that 05:57 and a little crunchy peanut butter 05:58 on a knife and you try that. 06:01 Just put a little crunchy peanut butter 06:03 on there and try that. 06:04 Bananas and peanut butter's yummy, yummy, yummy. 06:09 So another wonderful food boys and girls, 06:11 we're glad you can join us today. 06:13 Jesus loves you, don't forget that. 06:15 And don't forget to tell Jesus that you love Him 06:18 because He really does love you. 06:29 Hello, boys and girls, 06:30 I am here with Rachel and Cindy Barrett. 06:34 There is a lot of kids in your family, how many are there?

His disciples. 14:33 I can't remember it clearly, because I was, 14:35 I was crazy, I was possessed. 14:38 I just remember little snatches. 14:40 So it's a fragmented story, but this is what I remember. 14:45 You know, how I hung out at the graveyard there? Yeah. 14:48 And when people came to shore. 14:51 I immediately rushed after them. 14:53 Well, I did the same thing. 14:54 Yeah, that's what, that's what I was scared of you. 14:56 I went right after them. 14:58 Everyone of the disciples just ran as I remember, 15:01 and Jesus just went like this. 15:05 And I fell back. 15:08 Why? 15:10 That's the part I don't even remember. 15:12 The next thing I remember is I'm sitting at His feet. 15:17 He's telling me how much God loves me 15:20 and forgives me and you didn't attack Him? 15:24 It was gone, and it was gone, for years 15:27 and I know it was my own stupid decisions. 15:28 I got myself in the situation for years I've been that way, 15:32 I don't know how long, I've lost track of time. 15:34 But now it's all are different.

And I wanted to live with Jesus. 16:10 I said Jesus please just get me out of here 16:13 and when He went to get on His boat again. 16:16 I walked right along beside Him. 16:18 I want to get on the boat and He rised His hand again. 16:21 This time He said, no, you need to stay right where you are, 16:28 until your friends and neighbors 16:32 what great things God has done. No. 16:34 Just take me with you, couldn't you have 13 disciples? 16:37 He said no, you should stay. 16:40 And that's what you are doing. 16:41 That's what I am doing. 16:42 Do you believe my story, can you, can you accept. 16:45 It's obviously that you're different, 16:46 I have peace and a joy inside I...I just, 16:50 I can't wait to see Jesus again. 16:53 I don't know when he's gonna be back. 16:54 And people many, many people have believed my story. 16:57 I have never even heard Him speak a sermon. 17:00 But I have just told them my experience 17:03 and they've accepted Jesus. 17:05 Have you accepted Jesus?
