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.
00:19 Kids time, kids time, kids time.
00:27 Hi, boys and girls, you know my grandson Michael
00:30 just loves to play with Lincoln Logs and have you ever
00:32 seen Lincoln Logs there are so much fun to play with.
00:35 They have little indentations in here and you can
00:38 build so many things. Look I've even built a little car
00:41 here and look at this adorable little log cabin,
00:45 that I just built. You know, when I was little girl,
00:48 I loved to play with Lincoln Logs and I used to
00:50 dream about you know wearing the prairie dresses
00:53 and the bonnets and living way out in the log cabin,
00:56 way out in the woods. But you know my dream never
00:59 came true, but today I do have some friends
01:01 who live in log cabin way out in the woods
01:03 and last year they had a pretty big scare.
01:06 There was a huge forest fire in the valley.
01:09 It was named the crazy horse fire;
01:11 you might have heard of it. At night they could see a
01:13 red-orange glow in the sky and everyday that fire
01:16 came a little bit closer to their cabin.
01:18 Now, you know my friends would pray and they just
01:21 pleaded with God to protect their little home and they
01:25 gathered a few of their things together. Just in case
01:27 they had to leave in a big hurry, but then a funny
01:30 thing happened, the fire just suddenly stopped
01:33 moving one day. It hadn't even reached the lines
01:36 that the fire fighters had dug to stop it.
01:39 No one can figure out, why the fire just stopped
01:41 right in the middle of the forest. Eventually though
01:46 the cool weather and the snow returned and the fire
01:48 season was over. You know my friends are really sure
01:52 they were positive that God stopped that fire
01:54 because certainly and clearly no human stopped it.
01:59 You know there is the story in the Bible about a fire
02:01 like that and we're gonna hear all about it in our
02:03 Bible story today. But first let's see
02:06 what Ranger Jim has to show us.
02:15 Hi, boys and girls. Ranger Jim saying,
02:16 welcome to Nature Time, we're glad you can join
02:18 us today. We're at Knoxville, Tennessee at the
02:20 Knoxville zoo and look what we've for you today Jill,
02:23 my friend tell us something about this.
02:25 What is this creature? This guy is actually called
02:27 the spotted salamander, what most people don't
02:28 realize is the East Tennessee area in the smoky
02:31 mountains has more salamanders then any other
02:34 place in the entire world. Amazing.
02:35 These things are usually, you can find in your
02:37 backyard, you can find in the mountains, you can find
02:39 them in all different places and what a lot of people
02:41 don't realize also is, as sweet as he looks.
02:44 He's one of the best predators out there.
02:47 This guy actually hides out underneath logs
02:49 and eats different things like crickets and worms
02:52 and stuff like that; all sorts of the good stuff I know,
02:55 tempting isn't it. He likes to eat all sore of different
02:57 things like that, he is a spotted salamander.
02:59 Because of the spots he has on it, we actually have
03:01 two of them. One of them is called Moe; one of them
03:04 is called Les. This one is less, because he has less
03:07 spots. The other one is Moe, because he has more spots.
03:10 So, you know we got to think of something like that.
03:12 You can see his great eyes; they're actually very,
03:14 very tiny. That's because he's gonna spend most
03:16 of the time underneath rocks and different things like
03:18 that. He doesn't really need to worry about seeing
03:20 things, he can actually sense them and taste them
03:23 coming. Now, this is one of the salamanders,
03:26 you've different kind of salamanders here you would
03:28 have. We've, yeah there are tones of different
03:30 salamanders here in the East Tennessee area.
03:32 This is the one that we've in the education
03:34 department that we can bring around. A good thing
03:35 to tell about salamanders is they're amphibians.
03:38 That's different from reptiles and the fact that
03:40 they get all their water through their skin.
03:42 When I told kids about it, I usually tell them.
03:44 It's like if you said do you need to get a drink water
03:46 and your parents told you to get in the shower
03:48 to get a drink of water. Yeah. It be kind of weird,
03:49 but that's how salamanders do. That's what all
03:51 amphibians do. They're able to do that,
03:53 now about this there is an aquatic salamander here
03:57 that you've called a hellbender, do they have
04:00 gills. They actually, they actually do have types
04:04 of gills, not exactly the same things as fish,
04:06 but they do spend most of their time underneath
04:08 the water. They're a little bit different than
04:10 what these guys are because they'll need the
04:11 dampness, they don't actually need the water
04:13 and like the hellbenders do. And so if you look
04:16 at this boys and girls, you would think that this
04:18 creature all the time is wet. It's has a very shiny skin,
04:21 it has like that and it is moist. But it is yet it is
04:24 dry isn't it? Yes, I tell people to touch like a
04:27 rubber snake that you would use for fishing,
04:28 it's the same kind of idea. A lot of people
04:30 compare it to gummy worms too.
04:32 Okay, now tell me about reproduction of these,
04:34 do they; these lay eggs. These guys lay eggs,
04:36 they're gonna lay eggs near the water,
04:38 their babies first need to come out and get into
04:40 the water as soon as possible. Just to be able
04:42 get out all the water that they need and then
04:44 from there, they're able to. They grow pretty fast;
04:46 they live for quite a while. This guy, we've had him
04:48 at the zoo for about ten years now and he is still
04:50 growing and still living and so all good. They live to
04:53 about 20 years usually in the wild. Wow, wonderful
04:55 now what are the natural predators for this creature.
04:58 He would have? Anything that can find them honestly,
05:01 anything that's gonna turn up a log and find these
05:04 salamanders might try to eat them. They have to worry
05:06 about dogs and cats; they have to worry about people
05:09 taking them as pets, which isn't a good idea.
05:11 They're much better out in the wild, they've to worry
05:13 about a lot of different predators.
05:15 Well, this is a wonderful occasion for me to learn
05:17 about these and boys and girls. We find that he
05:20 made it right the first time, Ranger Jim saying.
05:23 Don't forget to tell the Jesus that you love him,
05:25 because he really does love you.
05:35 They were longing for a better country,
05:37 a heavenly one. Hebrews 11:16
05:40 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
05:50 And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy
05:59 land Where my possessions lie I am bound for the
06:06 Promise Land I am bound for the Promise Land
06:13 O who will come and go with me.
06:18 I am bound for the Promise Land.
06:23 When shall I see that happy place
06:27 And be forever blessed
06:32 When shall I see my Father's face
06:36 And in His bosom rest
06:41 I am bound for the Promise Land
06:46 I am bound for the Promise Land
06:50 O who will come and and go with me.
06:55 I am bound for the Promise Land.

09:58 fearful in praises, doing wonders?
10:08 Who is like unto thee, O LORD,
10:50 Abraham, nice to see you Abraham. Good to see you.
10:53 Tell me about what happened at Sodom and Gomorrah.
10:58 Gather around everyone Abraham is going to tell us
11:01 what happened at Sodom and Gomorrah.
11:03 It's a great story, it's a sad story
11:06 but I need to tell it to you so you don't hear it
11:10 incorrectly, I want you to hear it exactly as it
11:13 happened. Do you remember I told you that the
11:18 angels came to visit me and talked about Sarah
11:21 giving birth, after they left me they went on to Sodom.
11:29 You also remember Lot chose to go live in Sodom.
11:34 I wasn't happy about his decision but we all
11:37 have free choice, he went to the city,
11:41 the angels told me before they went that God was going
11:46 to have to do something very strange,
11:51 I would almost call God strange act,
11:54 the city was so terrible I can't even go
11:56 in the details here with the children.
11:59 It was a wicked city wasn't it. Yes, and it was breaking
12:03 God's heart. When we sin we break his heart,
12:06 innocent suffer. Well the angel, when they told me
12:11 that God was going to destroy the city I said God
12:14 what if they're 50 righteous God fearing people
12:17 in the city, then would you hold off as if,
12:22 as if I could change God's mind.
12:26 God is love, God is great, he doesn't need
12:30 my begging him does he? No. No, but you
12:33 were thinking about all those people and Lot?
12:36 I think God was trying to make me think of
12:39 the position he was in, I said God,
12:45 will not the judge of all the earth do right.
12:50 I've learned to depend on God and trust him
12:53 even when it doesn't make sense to me.
12:57 Yes. Well the angels went into the city Lot was right
13:00 there like the greeting committee to welcome them,
13:02 you remember how friendly Lot is and Lot said
13:06 please come to my home and they said no,
13:09 we'll stay here at the city square for the night,
13:11 Lot said you can't do that, you must come to the home,
13:16 isn't it interesting the angels knew, but they wanted
13:19 Lot to invite them. They got to the house even on
13:24 the way they were men from the city that were
13:26 roughing up the angels and Lot quickly got them
13:29 in his house and then Lot had,
13:32 Lot, he had Lot and his wife and two daughters sit down
13:37 and then the angels gave them the news
13:38 I've already told you. That the city would be destroyed,
13:43 we've got to get out of the city, the next morning
13:49 they got whatever they could carry,
13:51 Lot gave them specific instructions,
13:54 don't look back, flee to the mountains and
13:57 leave now and they all started going out.
14:00 The people ridiculing them. Lot's wife seemed
14:04 to hesitate but she continued to follow,
14:07 they got quite away as out of the city,
14:09 fire started coming from the sky, consuming the city,
14:13 Lot said keep looking forward, keep looking forward
14:17 and then it happened, what, what happened?
14:21 Lot's wife made a terrible decision,
14:26 I guess her heart was still back in the city,
14:30 what did she do? She turned and looked back
14:32 specifically what we're told not to do. Oh,
14:36 and you're not going to believe this,
14:38 please children it broke God's heart,
14:40 she turned into a pillar of salt right there.
14:44 I can't believe it, God loved those people,
14:50 God loved Lot's wife, remember that,
14:52 don't get caught up in one part of the story God
14:55 is a God of love. Amen. So, please do what he says,
14:59 walk by faith, trust him even when it
15:02 doesn't make sense to you. And walk day-by-day.
15:05 Let me pray quickly with you and I must go on.
15:08 Okay. Dear, heavenly Father. Thank you
15:11 for your love, thank you for your protection,
15:14 continue to lead us and guide us,
15:16 may we walk by faith. Keep our eyes on you
15:20 and never look back. We pray these things
15:24 in your name Father, amen. Amen, amen.
15:27 Please, stay faithful, if you tell the story,
15:31 tell the whole story and how it broke God's heart
15:34 as well. I will talk with you again soon.
15:37 Always good to see you Abraham.
15:38 Always good to csee you Abraham.
15:40 Bye. Have a safe journey.
15:41 Thank you. Bye, bye, bye, bye.

18:23 Hi, boys and girls. I have my friends Gloria and Grace
18:26 with me today. And they are going to help me
18:28 introduce the book of the day. And that book
18:33 I've today is Sarah's disappointment an
18:35 Adventist Girl Story Book by Jean Boonstra,
18:38 Jesus is coming. It is August 1844. And the entire
18:43 Barnes family is frustrated by the tarrying time.
18:46 Pa suggests that they go to the Exeter camp
18:49 meeting and Sarah comes along,
18:50 but she would really rather stay at home and work
18:52 on that pretty new dress. Some fanatics in the tent
18:55 next door really get on her nerves.
18:57 Then, Sarah hears Samuel Snow preach that Jesus
19:00 will definitely return on October 22, 1844.
19:03 Good news, new hope. Still has hard time for Sarah,
19:07 some of her friends are now her enemies.
19:09 As the appointed day approaches excitement
19:12 builds on October 22, family and friends gather
19:15 to look for the appearing of Jesus.
19:17 Will Jesus really return and take his children home?
19:20 Sarah's story will encourage you, as you live
19:23 each day for Jesus. And you will really want
19:26 to read this book, Sarah's Disappointment.
19:29 Well, I'm excited boys and girls because
