00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:06 looking for a friend like Jesus. 00:09 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. 00:25 Hi, boys and girls, what do you think of this big stone 00:27 I brought with me today? It looks pretty ordinary, 00:29 doesn't it? And it really doesn't have much value, 00:34 but it does remind me of the stones that were used 00:36 by some angry men in the Bible. They let their bad 00:39 tempers cause them to do a terrible thing. 00:43 Well, you know one afternoon when I was just 00:44 10 years old, I was in a classroom with a few 00:47 other children, and one of those children was a boy 00:50 named Ron. Now, Ron was a likeable guy 00:53 but he had a very bad temper and the smallest 00:55 thing could just send him into a rage without warning. 00:59 Well, one day I was working at my desk when Ron, 01:01 he started yelling at another boy in the classroom 01:04 and I looked up just as Ron had picked up a broom 01:07 and thrown it at the other boy, but the broom 01:10 missed that boy and it hit me right in the 01:12 mouth instead. My two front teeth were hurting 01:16 and blood was just running out of my mouth. 01:18 The teacher came running as fast as she could, 01:20 as soon as she heard my scream and I was in 01:23 terrible pain. Well, now I hadn't done anything 01:26 to deserve that kind of a blow. 01:28 But I suffered anyway just because Ron 01:31 lost his temper. I did forgive him even though 01:34 to this day he's never once said that he was sorry, 01:38 and I tried to be nice to him so that he would 01:40 see Jesus living in me. You know, the Bible tells us 01:42 of a story about a man named Stephen who loved 01:45 Jesus very much. His love for Jesus made people 01:48 mad though. They got so mad that they started 01:51 throwing stones at him. And someone who was 01:54 watching noticed the difference between 01:55 Stephen's quiet peace and the crowd's ugly 02:00 angry rage. You know people do notice when 02:04 we have Jesus in our hearts. 02:05 They can tell by the things we say and we do. 02:08 Now, we're going to hear Stephen's story today. 02:10 But right now let's hear from Ranger Jim. 02:20 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying welcome 02:22 to nature time. We're at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa, 02:25 Florida. My friend Alex is going to tell us 02:27 something about these creatures. 02:28 Alex what are these things? 02:31 These are large seahorses, cold water seahorses 02:34 from Australia. The potbelly seahorse is their name 02:39 and the potbelly's can live for as long as 10 years. 02:43 That's quite unusual for some seahorses to 02:45 live that long, but because they're cold water 02:48 and because they're large they do live 02:50 quite a long time. Very, very interesting. 02:53 Well, why do they call them potbelly is that because 02:56 they have a large abdomen here, is that? 02:58 They have one of the most pronounced bellies 03:00 of any of the seahorses as you folks might know 03:03 that's the males that have the bellies and that's how 03:07 you can tell the male from the female is that they 03:09 have this enormous potbelly that they can put 03:12 all the babies in. The male has the babies. 03:15 That's right. Well, tell us about that I want 03:18 to know more. What happens? 03:20 Well there is, almost no examples of this in nature 03:22 except for the seahorse family. 03:25 The male seahorses have accepted the responsibility 03:28 of raising all the young in some cases as 03:31 many as 1500 babies. Well, I don't know if I like 03:34 that or not. Now that's not a good idea to me. 03:36 I like my wife taking care of the babies, 03:38 but go ahead, how does this happen? 03:41 Well, the way it works it depends on each species, 03:43 but the female spends time getting her eggs ready 03:47 to give to the male then she finds the male 03:50 who either is a mate or a convenient partner 03:54 and they'll do a courtship dance for about 3 days 03:59 and as soon as the male and the female are ready, 04:01 mostly in the case of the seahorses, 04:03 the female has to be ready. 04:06 She will deposit her eggs inside of his pouch. 04:09 Oh! On so in his abdomen, she puts the eggs 04:11 in there and he incubates them, is that what? 04:14 Yes, they fertilized as they're traveling in 04:17 and once they're inside the rest of them are 04:18 fertilized and it can take as long as 35 days 04:23 to 40 days in the cases of these cold water seahorses. 04:26 Some of the warm water seahorses however, 04:29 can get developed young and in a shorter 04:32 time as 21 days. That not very long, 04:35 is it? And so when they hatch, the young are born, 04:37 they come out of the pouch. 04:39 Yeah, it's interesting. The male actually goes 04:42 through some contractions and he will crouch over 04:49 which kind of compresses the pouch and the water 04:52 and the babies that are inside of the pouch get 04:55 flushed out and once they're flush down there are 04:58 still more inside. He takes in more water and rinses 05:01 the pouch out and flushes more out. 05:03 Now, the young can be born over 2 days, 05:06 sometimes as long as 3 days. 05:07 Amazing, well now I am learning something 05:10 boys and girls that a seahorse has labor pain 05:13 as much the same as a woman giving birth, that's 05:15 absolutely astounding, isn't it? Tell me what 05:18 do these creatures eat Alex? 05:20 Well, seahorses are famous for eating lots of 05:23 crustaceans and crustaceans are different 05:25 types of crabs, shrimps, little amphipods, lots 05:31 of little small critters that crawl around in the 05:35 sand or swim in pools over the sand beds near 05:38 their habitat which are the rocky reeves. 05:40 Alright, and so they are not deep water creatures? 05:42 Not really. The potbellies, they could be found 05:46 in as deep as 70 feet of water, 05:48 but primarily they will stay up in around 05:50 30 feet of water. Now, I know I have some 05:53 friends who have seahorses in an aquarium at home. 05:57 Are they this type of seahorse? 06:00 Well, actually that's a great question. 06:02 There are warm water seahorses and there are 06:05 cold water seahorses and the potbellies, 06:08 along with some of these other species of seahorses 06:11 that we have here from Western and cold water 06:14 Southern Australia are not able to survive 06:18 in a warm water aquarium which is what most 06:20 people have at home. We keep our tanks here at 06:24 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Most home aquariums 06:27 have capture around 75 degrees and there's quite 06:29 a difference between the two. 06:30 A big difference, so these cold water, 06:32 wouldn't survive in that? 06:33 They wouldn't do well in 72 degree water. 06:37 So, that might be acute for someone who 06:40 has an aquarium at home if the seahorses 06:41 aren't doing well. It might be related to the 06:43 temperature of the water it could be. 06:45 That's possible, the one good thing is that the 06:48 pet trade basically will supply seahorses that 06:52 come from tropical places like the Philippines 06:55 or from Brazil and places like that. 06:58 They don't usually buy seahorses that are from 07:01 cold water environments 'cause they don't do well. 07:03 Wonderful. It is exciting boys and girls for us 07:06 to learn about these creatures and we like to 07:08 thank Alex for all this information this morning. 07:10 Its a thrill to see these thingsand 07:12 learn about them. So Ranger Jim as always saying, 07:15 don't forget to tell Jesus that you love him 07:17 because he really does love you. 07:27 Mr. Bach was a teacher, all his students were 07:29 special to him because there was one girl 07:32 who came from a rough home who he had a special, 07:34 a special bread in for. One day that girl was no longer 07:38 at school. This is when Mr. Bach then co sang 07:40 it would be if anyone was missing when Jesus calls 07:43 our name in heaven, when that roll is called 07:45 up yonder, I want to be there. How about you? 07:49 Boys and girls, I can't wait for Jesus to come. 07:52 When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. 07:59 When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, 08:01 and time shall be no more, 08:02 And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair; 08:06 When the saved of earth shall gather over 08:09 on the other shore 08:10 And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. 08:14 When the roll is called up yonder, 08:17 When the roll is called up yonder, 08:20 When the roll is called up yonder, 08:26 When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. 08:30 Let us labor for the Master from the dawn 08:32 till setting sun, Let us talk of all His wondrous 08:35 love and care; Then when all of life is over, 08:39 and our work on earth is done, 08:41 And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. 08:44 When the roll is called up yonder, 08:48 When the roll is called up yonder, 08:52 When the roll is called up yonder, 08:58 When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. 09:02 When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there. 09:14 You know, I've heard a lot of people tell me 09:16 that they love gravy. And I think it's really hard 09:19 to make. You know, I am going to prove to you 09:21 today that gravy's not only easy to make but it 09:24 only, but it's quick too. It takes a couple of minutes 09:29 to make, it's so easy. So, today I'm gonna 09:31 show you how to make brown gravy. 09:33 Let me go and read the recipe for you. 09:35 ½ cup of Brewers yeast flakes 09:40 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour 09:44 1/3 cup sunflower oil 09:47 2-3 Tbsp. of Bragg's Aminos 09:51 1 ½ cups of water and salt to taste. 09:56 Now, I already have my flour toasted on the stove 09:59 here and how you toast flour, just put 10:01 it in a saucepan or in a pan and you just heat it up 10:06 and it'll start to smell, get like a richer smell, 10:10 it'll give, I would even think floured smell. 10:13 This starts to really smell, uhm it's starting 10:15 to smell good right now. And then you're gonna 10:17 take your brewers yeast flakes and put those 10:19 in also and mix that up. Now, I have the oil, 10:29 so you wanna add the oil also. Now you know gravy, 10:36 a lot of people think gravy is just for mash potatoes 10:39 and that kind of thing, but you can use gravy 10:41 on lots of things, you can use it on toast or on 10:45 paddies and over paddies and bake them, 10:49 we use them on lots of things. 10:50 Now you're gonna add your Bragg's Aminos 10:53 to water and just kind of mix it up just a little bit, 11:01 and then slowly, slowly you're gonna add it 11:03 to this mixture. Now, remember to keep stirring 11:08 because this gravy will thicken quickly. 11:17 Get that on there and then keep on stirring. 11:23 That's basically just the ingredients to gravy, 11:25 just remember that if don't stir, it will burn, 11:28 so keep stirring. As it thickens we're gonna add 11:35 a little bit of salt and you know, 11:39 you want add a little bit of salt at a time, 11:41 'cause you don't want to get too salty, still little bit, 11:48 a little bit more. Here we go, wait till it thickens up. 11:55 Now remember, gravy you know even if you 12:00 don't like it. If you don't want it just plain this, 12:03 if you like mushrooms, you could also saute 12:05 mushrooms and put them in your gravy or you 12:08 could even saute up onions and put in them, 12:09 but I will chose not to do that today, 12:11 I just like my brown gravy plain. 12:16 Keep on stirring. Let's start, it'll start to thicken 12:21 pretty quick. And that's how easy gravy is to make. 12:26 That simple. You should try at home because 12:29 it's really not hard, I've proven to you today 12:31 that gravy is not only easy to make but it's 12:34 very quick too. So, remember, 12:36 until next time to keep cooking and eat healthy. 13:27 Oh! My goodness! Everybody, everybody, 13:29 oh! My goodness! I just seen the most horrible 13:34 thing ever. Stephen just got stone. Stoned? 13:39 Stephen they killed him, they killed him. 13:42 He's dead. It was the worst thing in the world. 13:48 When did it happen? They killed him. 13:49 The people at the Synagogue of the Freedom 13:50 they killed him. They had people lie and tell 13:54 stories and, and they even had witnesses say 13:56 that he lied and he used the name of God wrong 13:59 and he talked badly of God and Moses and he 14:02 didn't do it. They even had people say that they 14:05 heard him saying but he didn't do it. They had a 14:09 trial. He was innocent. The High priest came and said 14:11 to Stephen he said, are these charges are true. 14:13 And Stephen just told him, he said that you all 14:15 do not have the Holy Spirit in you, you resist it. 14:17 And he told them that they were stiff necked 14:20 and he told them that they had uncircumcised 14:23 hearts and ears and they just began to gnash 14:26 their teeth and throw stones at him. 14:29 And so what did Stephen do? 14:30 Oh! He stood there just like his face lit up and he 14:34 was shining like an angel, but they just talked 14:36 badly of him and he just had peace the whole time. 14:39 He just had peace like it was okay, 14:41 like it was his trust in God and the first stone 14:44 that hit him he fell and he fell straight down to 14:47 the ground and he looked up and he said, 14:51 the heavens of God are open and I could see God 14:53 and I could see the the Son of man sitting 14:55 at the right hand of God and right there, 14:57 they began to beat him and hurt him. 15:00 Well, what did Stephen say? 15:03 He said, he said, Lord please receive my spirit, 15:07 and he said, the most amazing thing, he said, 15:10 "please forgive them for they know not what they do." 15:14 Forgive. After all of that he asked God 15:17 to forgive them. Those sinners, 15:20 those horrible people, he asked God to forgive 15:22 them after they hurt him, after they threw stones 15:25 at him and he asked God to forgive them. 15:29 That just shows what a Christ like heart he has. 15:32 Remember Jesus saying that we need to forgive 15:34 70 times 7. That's right. Jesus did. 15:39 There is so amazing that Stephen could forgive 15:43 these people. I know, I know. 15:48 I think that we need to be more forgiving. 15:52 Yes, we do. You know, I have so many people 15:57 that I need to ask forgiveness for. 15:59 I have to go find my father, 16:02 I have to find my sister. I have to go, 16:03 I have to go ask for forgiveness. 16:08 But it's a positive story. 16:10 Yes, but who's gonna be next? 17:18 Hi, boys and girls, it's time for Miss Brenda's book 17:21 of the day, and my choice today is a wonderful 17:24 book it's called Lucy, the Curiously Comical Cow, 17:28 and it's by Corrine Vanderwerff and it's 17:33 Julius and Friends series. This is book 5. 17:35 Let me just share just a tiny bit with you. 17:37 It says, Jenny wanted a baby cow and she knew 17:40 just which one she wanted. She wanted the 17:42 black one, but Lucy was a white calf but it did, 17:46 she caught her attention and she won Jenny's heart. 17:48 Jenny knew Lucy was special, and before long 17:51 the two of them became a team that brought 17:53 unexpected fame to the Dawn-Lynn Dairy. 17:57 Now Lucy learned how to play tag, she learned 17:59 how to bob for apples in water and even 18:01 fetched like a dog! Jenny loved taking special 18:07 are of Lucy and teaching her all sorts of fun things. 18:10 But most of all, Jenny knew Lucy was her best friend. 18:14 Lucy helped her feel better whenever she 18:16 was sad or lonely. And as Lucy grew to be 18:19 a yearling and then into a milking cow, 18:21 she showed Jenny that she never forgot what 18:24 jenny had taught her. And I'm kind of curious 18:27 what Jenny taught her aren't you? Well, 18:29 you wanna purchase this book boys and girls 18:31 and find out. This is Lucy, the Curiously Comical Cow. 18:36 Well, I am so excited today boys and girls 18:38 to have someone very special, a friend of mine 18:40 has joined me today and I know you are going 18:43 to recognize him too because he sings on 18:45 Kids Time quite a bit and I have Joshua Lance 18:48 with me today. Hi, Joshua, how are you? 18:50 Hi Ms. Brenda, I am doing just fine and how 18:52 have you been doing this fine day? 18:53 I am doing really good and I'm so excited 18:55 that you're here with me today. 18:56 I am extremely excited to be here too. 18:59 You know, usually we get to be together 19:01 when you come and sing and I get to hear you sing, 19:03 yeah, but this is nice to have a chance to come 19:05 and talk with each other. That's right. 19:08 Now I like you to share with the boys and girls, 19:11 kind of what you do to share Jesus? 19:14 Well, I sometimes I go to every now and then 19:18 like once a month, I go to an assisted living 19:22 home and sing for them and I do love doing it 19:25 because it just makes me feel all warm and like 19:31 I am doing something very good for them and I 19:34 go around to different Churches and sing 19:38 and you came once on my baptism to Cottageville, 19:46 Seventh-Day Adventist Church and that was a very, 19:52 I had a very good time with you have being there 19:54 and it was just very nice and. 19:56 Well, may be we should tell the boys and girls. 19:58 I was so excited that I could even come to your 20:01 baptism and I could remember when your mom 20:03 first asked me, I was, I got a phone call and 20:06 she said, oh! I know you're really busy that you 20:09 probably can't come but she said, 20:10 Joshua wanted me to ask you, you know, 20:12 so she said, I am so, you know, 20:14 I know you're really busy and I said, 20:15 wait a minute, wait a minute when is it? 20:17 And so she told me and I said, well let me check 20:19 and see and I said you know what, 20:20 I think I can come. And you know, 20:22 how it got turned out is that I actually 20:24 got to preach the sermons at his Church 20:26 for the day he was baptized, 20:27 so I was not only able to be at his baptism 20:29 I was able to preach the sermon and I was so excited 20:32 to be part of, in fact we brought a little video 20:35 of that day. Shall we see that right now. 20:36 Yes, I really loved your sermon. 20:38 It was very wonderful. Thank you very much 20:40 for all of your blessings. Oh! Thank you Joshua, 20:43 we just praise God, right. Praise God. 20:45 Well, let's see the video right now and let's tell the 20:47 boys and girls what we're watching. 20:49 Can you tell us what we are watching right here? 20:52 Well, that is my Pastor, Pastor Bob Mayer and 20:56 right now he is baptizing me and it was just a. 21:01 He put you right under the water, yeah, 21:02 and brought you right up. 21:03 What you were feeling right then? 21:04 Well, I was feeling very excited. 21:06 I was feeling happy and I was feeling. 21:11 I know it was just water but it feels like the 21:13 Holy Spirit, Spirit has formed itself into water 21:17 and it was just a wonderful feeling and I can't, 21:19 my words cannot explain it. 21:21 Oh! Well, you know that is a special feeling, 21:24 isn't that? When we've just given our entire life 21:26 to Jesus and he is just cleanse us when we are 21:28 baptized where just all those dirty sins are just 21:31 buried in that water and we come outside, 21:33 we're out of sin, they're gone. They are gone. 21:35 And that's a wonderful feeling. 21:37 How do you explain that? So I agree with you. 21:39 There are no words, right. Yeah, there are no words. 21:42 Well, one of the things that, you know that was special 21:45 to me too was your smile and your family got to 21:49 be there and it was a very special day, wasn't it? 21:51 Yes, it was very special. By the way this is your, 21:55 this is the Bible that you gave to me and I'm 21:57 very proud of it. I think it's very beautiful and. 22:02 Well, I wanted to you have you, you know, 22:05 when I was baptized my mom and dad gave me a Bible, 22:08 and I still have it. I still use it, I love that Bible 22:12 and I thought you know what it's some special 22:13 I could give Joshua on your baptism to help you 22:16 remember what a special day this is and so 22:20 that's why I chose the Bible. 22:21 So, I am glad you liked it. Oh! I love it. 22:24 Well, tell me have you ever had any wonderful 22:26 experiences where you were able to talk to 22:28 someone about Jesus? Oh! Yes, that's right. 22:33 My friend DJ. I told him about Jesus about his love 22:36 and all the, some of the stories and miracles 22:39 that he's done that he loves him and you know 22:42 Saturday is the holy day and if his parents agree 22:47 and they should start going to Church and learn more 22:49 about Jesus and just to be good people for him 22:57 and be good holy servants and. 23:00 That's good and do you ever have trouble, 23:01 do you friends have said when you talk to them 23:03 about Jesus they were said, Joshua, 23:05 quit talking to me about Jesus. 23:09 No, sometimes they argue with me because 23:12 they're like well Sunday is the holy day and 23:14 I am being calm and I'm trying to explain. 23:17 Well, it's kind of hard to explain because you know 23:21 with different religions I can't convince them. 23:24 But you can just tell them about. 23:25 But I can do as much as I can, that's right, 23:28 and you know what and the Lord doesn't never 23:29 want us to argue the Bible, does he? You know, 23:31 because you know what you can't convince 23:33 someone that's gonna argue anyway. 23:34 So, I never argue with anybody but if they really 23:36 want to know then I tell them. 23:38 And if you just refer them back to the Ten 23:42 commandments and the fourth commandment, 23:44 remember the Sabbath day it doesn't say, 23:45 it says remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 23:48 Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work: 23:50 But the Seventh day is the Sabbath of The Lord 23:52 thy God right. Yes, right, we were talking 23:53 about that. My mom and I, we were saying 23:57 that people, other people they believe that their 24:02 relatives just go straight up to heaven as soon as 24:04 they die and that would be like an entire waste 24:08 of an entire captor and that be like 24:13 why write all that if that's true. 24:15 Right, you're talking about what happens to you 24:16 when you die because it does tell us in the Bible. 24:18 Because I mean that would be a waste, 24:19 that would be waste of an entire verse, the chapter. 24:22 Right, because the Bible tells us several places 24:24 in the Bible that when we die, 24:26 we only sleep, right. Yeah, we sleep in the ground 24:28 until Jesus comes, so that would be a waste 24:30 of chapter. Yep, its okay, a lot of people 24:31 don't know that, do they? No. 24:33 Well Joshua, would you like to hear some letters I have? 24:36 Sure. Okay, well, I have a letter here and let's 24:38 see who this is from? Oh! I love your letters 24:43 boys and girls. This one is from, it says, 24:46 dear Miss Brenda, thank you so much for, 24:48 me and brother's activity books we just got 24:51 them in the mail and I love them. 24:53 Would you please come and visit me in my Church 24:56 because it would mean a lot to me to have you come 24:58 and visit my Sabbath school. Please come 25:00 and visit. Here's my phone number. 25:02 Please come, please come soon. Lindsey. 25:05 Well, thank you so much Lindsey.
