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
00:12 out there; 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 Hi, boys and girls. You know I just love
00:26 going to family weddings because they're really more
00:29 like family reunions in disguise, aren't they?
00:31 I get to see my brothers and sisters and aunts and
00:34 uncles and even friends that I haven't seen in years
00:37 and I get to see how much my nieces and nephews
00:39 have grown, and of course, you know what there is
00:41 always those goodies to eat afterwards.
00:44 I would have been very sad though if I could not have
00:46 attended my own daughter's wedding.
00:48 Weddings are family affairs, but sometimes
00:51 not every one is able to make it. And today our
00:53 Bible story is about a wedding that no one in the
00:56 bride's family got to attend, and in fact, they didn't
00:59 even get meet the bridegroom before the
01:00 wedding, not even the bride got to meet the
01:03 groom until the wedding, which happened far from
01:05 her childhood at home. It sounds kind of scary,
01:08 doesn't it? Going off to a long distance land to marry
01:11 someone you've never even met, but this bride
01:13 had no misgivings at all, and do you know why?
01:17 Because she knew that God himself had chosen
01:19 the bridegroom. And she had nothing to fear.
01:23 Well, boys and girls God is interested in your
01:25 relationships with others and since he can see into
01:28 people's hearts. He is the best one to choose your
01:31 future husband or wife. Don't forget that God's
01:33 way is always the best way. Well right now it's
01:37 time to see what Ranger Jim has for us today.
01:47 Hi, boys and girls. Ranger Jim saying, welcome to
01:49 Nature Time, look where we are today.
01:51 We are in beautiful Raccoon Mountain Cavern
01:53 and it is just absolutely a beautiful place to be and
01:57 our friend Patty who is a trained geologist is going
02:00 to tell us about some of these beautiful formations.
02:04 Thank you Ranger Jim. Up on the ceiling up here we
02:07 have a whole line of little soda straws and soda
02:10 straws get their names because it's soda water
02:12 coming through them and they're hollow in the
02:14 middle just like a straw. As the water hangs out
02:19 there, carbon dioxide goes back out into the air and a
02:22 little ring of calcite is left behind. These things on
02:26 average grow about an inch every hundred years.
02:30 An inch in a hundred years. Yes. Amazing.
02:36 When the holes get clogged up sometimes we
02:39 will get these big carrot shape things hanging from
02:41 the ceiling. If the water runs down that side.
02:43 They're shaped some what like a carrot aren't they?
02:44 Yes, they are. And I bet you know what those are
02:47 called, don't you? What are they called?
02:48 They're called stalactites. Stalactites. Yes.
02:52 They're the ones that hang down.
02:54 Yes. And as the water drips down from the
02:58 stalactites rocks grow up from the ground as the
03:02 minerals are deposited, kind of like over there.
03:04 Right, those are we can see they're growing up and
03:06 those are called? Stalagmites and there are
03:09 an easy way you can remember the difference
03:10 between the two, stalactites hold tight to the ceiling.
03:14 Stalagmites you might trip over.
03:17 It's also a good safety too. Very good, very good.
03:20 Sometimes stalactites and stalagmites will grow
03:23 together and touch from floor to ceiling, then we
03:26 have a column. After stalactites, stalagmites
03:30 most everything's an easy word, the bumpy stuff on
03:33 the rocks right here, it's all called Cave popcorn.
03:36 Pave popcorn, cave popcorn.
03:41 Okay, cave popcorn. Is it cave? Yes.
03:43 Oh! I see it's round, isn't it?
03:44 Little piece of it, well, how do that form?
03:47 A long time ago when the cave was flooded,
03:50 minerals in the water would be left behind on
03:52 rocks already there, formed the little bumps
03:55 on them. So, they call it popcorn. Popcorn
03:58 Neat, okay. It's also called cave coral,
04:00 but not so much anymore because over time people
04:05 have gotten the idea that cave coral comes from a
04:07 living organism, which it doesn't.
04:10 So, it's called popcorn. What are these beautiful
04:13 big things we have here that's hanging down?
04:15 What are they called? Those are called
04:16 draperies. They're a special kind of formation,
04:19 oh! They look beautiful, for flowing water.
04:20 We talked about the stalactites, stalagmites
04:23 that's all dripping water, but now the flowing
04:26 water we have draperies flow stone. A stone that
04:30 formed from flowing water. Bacon strips,
04:35 a special kind of drapery where if you shine light
04:38 from behind it, it will be red and white just like a
04:41 raw piece of bacon. Amazing! Now tell me.
04:44 Now, are we safe, I see some these stone look
04:47 like they may be have fallen in the past?
04:49 Yeah, some of these really big blocks have
04:52 fallen down, but it's nothing we have to worry
04:55 about, not today, not a thousand years from now.
05:00 The cave is really stable. What happens is when the
05:02 cave's first forming the water level is up by the
05:05 ceiling and when the water level first drops all
05:09 of a sudden air is trying to hold up the ceiling.
05:12 Well, it just like swimming in water
05:15 versus swimming through air. Well, we can't
05:17 swim through air. The air can't hold the
05:19 rocks up they fall down. They fall down.
05:21 So, they're called break down.
05:22 So, we're safe today in the cave.
05:24 It is just, to me it's such a thrill to be here
05:27 and see these wonderful things that God have
05:29 made for us to see and enjoy.
05:31 Boys and girls this is Ranger Jim saying as
05:34 always don't forget to tell Jesus that you love him
05:37 because he really does love you.
05:52 I hear an Ambulance, somebody is hurt.
05:54 Uncle Buddy that's just me and I am not hurt.
05:57 I am just doing the Choir warm-ups, my teacher
05:59 taught me. They go like this.
06:05 They keep me singing. Just like Jesus.
06:08 Yes, Jesus keeps me singing.
06:15 There's within my heart a melody
06:18 Jesus whispers sweet and low,
06:22 Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,
06:26 In all of life's ebb and flow.
06:29 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I know,
06:37 Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
06:44 Feasting on the riches of His grace,
06:48 Resting neath His shelt'ring wing,
06:52 Always looking on His smiling face,
06:55 That is why I shout and sing.
06:59 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I know,
07:06 Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
07:13 Soon He's coming back to welcome me,
07:17 Far beyond the starry sky; I shall wing my flight to
07:22 worlds unknown, I shall reign with Him on high.
07:28 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I know,
07:35 Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
07:52 Welcome to the Learning Time.
07:53 Say we've got a special program for you today,
07:56 and I've got an object right, what does that look like?
08:01 A Slingshot. A slingshot and I've got a
08:03 special helper with me, Caleb, thanks for helping
08:05 us. Okay now, you know what this was, right?
08:07 What is it? Slingshot.
08:09 It's a slingshot. Have you ever had one?
08:10 Yeah. What did you do with yours, did you?
08:12 What did you do? Play with it and does it
08:17 throw things? Oh! Yeah, it throws things.
08:20 Today we're going to be using a simple machine,
08:23 in fact, this is kind of a compound machine and
08:25 this machine right here, it's called a Trebuchet,
08:29 Can you say that? Trebuchet.
08:32 A lot of people call it a catapult, it's not a
08:34 catapult but it kind of looks like one, doesn't it?
08:36 And it does, Caleb, it throws things.
08:39 And let's just examine it over here. In fact, you
08:42 know what we have right here, we've got a big arm
08:44 right here. And that arm pivots on our little pivot
08:47 point that we call a fulcrum, and that's going
08:50 to pivot today, isn't it? And then you know what
08:52 we got another pivoting place right here.
08:54 And then down here we have a bag, and that bag
08:56 has some groceries, in it? It just got cans of food
09:00 just because we need some weight down there, okay.
09:03 And then the next thing we do is we're gonna
09:04 need to throw something. Can we throw you?
09:08 No, that wouldn't be good would it?
09:09 But, what do we have Caleb?
09:10 A ball. We got a ball, so we're gonna try to throw
09:13 a ball using a simple machine, actually a
09:15 complex machine, that's made out of some simple
09:18 machines right here. Well, I'll tell you what
09:21 we're gonna do, let's go ahead and demonstrate
09:22 this, first of all. We're gonna demonstrate
09:26 a sling, hey, who was it that used a slingshot?
09:29 David. Who was David. You remember stories
09:31 about David. Yeah, what kind of work did David do?
09:37 What did he take care of?
09:42 Was he was a shepherd? Yeah, David was a
09:44 shepherd. He had work to do just like you and I
09:47 have worked to do sometimes and he would
09:49 protect his sheep by scaring some animals off,
09:52 in fact, he even killed some animals, didn't he?
09:55 That's right. Well, I tell you what, let's go ahead
09:58 and demonstrate that, would you mind putting
09:59 that ball right in there. This is our little sling
10:02 and step back a little bit and David he would take
10:05 his sling and he would aim carefully and he
10:07 would let that rock fly and whoa! Right there
10:11 and it flew right into your hands, didn't it?
10:14 We'll put this back over here. Well, we're gonna
10:16 use a sling and we're gonna tie into our
10:19 Trebuchet. So, let's go ahead and do that.
10:22 So, we have a second, actually a first class lever
10:26 and we're going to put the ball right in there,
10:29 Caleb and get ready. There you might be able
10:31 to catch this ball. Are you ready?
10:33 Are you ready? Yes. Okay, let's put it down
10:35 over here. Caleb move back a little bit.
10:37 Boy, this thing is going to go and we're gonna
10:40 release this thing, hey, how about a 3, 2, 1.
10:42 Let's go, 3, 2, 1, let it go and whoa!
10:48 Way back there. Did you see that? It went all the
10:52 way back there. Hey, do you remember Caleb.
10:55 You remember the story about David, one day, his
10:58 father sent him to go visit his brothers and his
11:02 brothers were fighting the Philistines, weren't they?
11:05 What did David end up doing?
11:07 He started fighting. He started fighting and
11:10 there was a big Philistines. What was his name?
11:13 Goliath. It was Goliath, and you know what
11:15 David did, don't you? David found five smooth
11:19 stones. He put them in a sling and what did he do?
11:23 Shot it. He shot the sling. What did the rock hit?
11:28 Goliath, right in the middle of the forehead
11:31 and knocked him over. Well, they were
11:33 victorious today. The Philistines were defeated,
11:36 weren't they? Weren't they?
11:38 Oh! Yeah. You know, that reminds me.
11:40 A simple machine actually a complex
11:42 machine that has simple machines inside of it and
11:44 on the very end a slingshot and the
11:46 slingshot reminds me of David because David had
11:50 the power of God. When he killed Goliath,
11:52 do you thing that God was really blessing David
11:55 when he killed Goliath? That's right.
11:57 David had a work to do and he used the simple
12:01 machine to do that with. Isn't that interesting?
12:04 Oh! I think so too. And when we learn more
12:07 about science we learn more about our creator God.
12:21 Jesus loves me! this I know,
12:26 For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong;
12:34 they are weak but He is strong.
12:38 Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
12:47 Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
13:05 Rebecca, look at you. You look so beautiful,
13:08 just splendid. Yes, I love your dress.
13:11 Where did you get this from?
13:13 And your jewels, they're absolutely fabulous.
13:17 Where would you get such jewels?
13:19 I got them from a man named Eleazar.
13:21 Oh! Maybe a new merchant.
13:23 Yeah. No, when I went to the well the other day
13:26 get straw water, this man was there,
13:29 he was a traveler. There's always travelers at the well.
13:32 He had many camel and he looked so bored,
13:35 tired and the camels looked so tired too.
13:38 So, why would he just given to you?
13:40 Well, he asked me for some water and of course
13:43 I gave him some water, and offered to water his.
13:47 offered to water his camels too. You did?
13:50 Yes. I wouldn't water anybody's camels.
13:53 That's a lot of work. Well, he was so grateful
13:57 he gave me these jewels. May be I would water the camel?
14:01 Yes. Oh! Wow! Look at how the.
14:08 This is beautiful. He must be a rich.
14:11 Just for watering camels. Look at that, look at those.
14:14 Oh! That is beautiful. But, the man asked me
14:18 for who my father was? And I told who he was
14:22 and he asked me if you had any place for him to
14:24 rest, for them rest that night, and so I told them
14:28 Yes, of course, we have place for his camels too.
14:32 And so I took them home and he met my father and
14:34 my family and we sat down to eat because it
14:37 was time and he wouldn't eat.
14:40 He would not eat? If he was thirsty,
14:46 he certainly would have been hungry.
14:48 That makes no sense at all.
14:49 Well, he would not eat until he told us what
14:52 he came for. This man was all the way from Canaan.
14:56 That is a long distance. That's a long way.
14:59 Yes. And he was a servant. He is a servant of Abraham.
15:03 Who's Abraham? Abraham is my
15:06 grandfather's brother and he had sent his
15:10 servant here to find a wife for his son.
15:12 He did? He chose you. Well, at the well he
15:17 prayed and asked the Lord that whoever the girl
15:20 that would come and offer to water the camels,
15:24 that that would be the girl for his master's son.
15:27 And you did just that. That means you're leaving.
15:32 Well, he asked my father and my father said, yes,
15:37 but, and they talked about it and then they wanted
15:41 to know if the wedding would be here to make
15:43 preparation. Yeah. Oh! Yes.
15:44 We would like here. Like your wedding is so
15:47 beautiful. Thank you. We'll help with your wedding.
15:52 It won't be here. 'Cause he said no he's
15:54 going to take me back to Canaan with him.
15:58 Why? Well, he said that his master had told him
16:01 bring the girl back with him. So, I am going to.
16:05 To whom, what is this man's name?
16:07 Abraham. But what is his son's name?
16:09 Isaac. Isaac. Have you ever seen him? Isaac.
16:15 Wait a minute, so you never ever seen him
16:17 and you've never been out of this town.
16:20 But, the Lord, it's up to Lord because of Eleazar's
16:24 prayer and we prayed and then my father said to ask
16:27 me if I would agree to go back and so I said, yes,
16:31 I would go back because I see it's of the Lord.
16:36 Oh! You are very brave. Yes.
16:39 Eleazar wants to leave as soon as possible, so that's
16:43 why I am packing. Oh! Wait a minute
16:44 you're leaving as soon as you mean, this is it.
16:46 Yes, what about this beautiful home.
16:50 You can't leave this beautiful home.
16:52 Well, the Lord wants me to go over there now.
16:54 So, we have to say goodbye.
16:58 And you're packing right this minute
17:00 Yes, I only have a couple more errands to do
17:02 and then we should be ready and set to go.
17:06 Oh! We're gonna miss you so much.
17:10 It was fun drawing the water at the well together.
17:13 Yes. Yes, it was. Well, Anna is getting a
17:15 little fussy so I need to go to. I've got some
17:17 things that we got do and, we'll meet you honey.
17:20 Oh! We're going to miss you so much.
17:22 We will miss you. Send us messages.
17:25 Tell us how you're doing over there.
17:27 Oh! I will. God go with you.
17:30 Bye, bye, bye, goodbye. I wish you well,
17:36 bye, goodbye. Bye Rebecca.
17:40 And Rebecca, I wish you many babies.
18:04 [Foreign Language]
19:23 It's time for Miss Brenda's book of the day.
19:27 And boys and girls what a wonderful book.
19:30 This is a true story, it's called Robby and it's
19:33 written by Velma Craven Meyer. And it's, Robby
19:37 lived an incredible 26 years migrating South
19:40 every Fall with his mate and returning in the
19:42 Spring to the family he loved. In this remarkable
19:45 story of friendship between a wild bird and
19:48 its human friends we see Eden revisited.
19:51 This glimpse into the life of one of God's small
19:53 creatures opens a window on what heaven would be like.
19:56 And this is Robby by Velma Craven Meyer, a
20:00 wonderful book. Yes, it is a wonderful
20:02 book Miss Brenda I read it.
20:03 You did. Yes.
20:04 Well, I tell you. I've also talked with other people
20:09 that like that book, so it'd be good for kids to read
20:11 right? Right.
20:12 Well, you know, let's introduce to the boys and
20:13 girls. Your name is Sarah, right. And Sarah where
20:16 are you from? Etowah, Tennessee.
20:19 Etowah, Tennessee, and Sarah we, this is not the
20:21 first time we met, is it? No.
20:22 Where did we meet for the first time?
20:24 Oshkosh, Wisconsin. That's right. We were up
20:27 there for the Faith on Fire Camporee for the
20:29 Pathfinder Camporee, and I was so excited because
20:33 when you came to the Kids Time booth, I had a
20:35 Kids Time 3 ABN booth up there and you were
20:38 wearing something special. Can you show the
20:40 boys and girls, in fact, you wrote in and sent me
20:42 picture of this and I shared this on the air.
20:43 Let's, you have the scarf here and pick in person,
20:47 look at that boys and girls. She was wearing
20:49 that scarf that said it's kids time to share Jesus.
20:53 Is that not incredible? And I was so impressed
20:56 and excited with that scarf. I loved it and you
20:58 wear that just people probably ask you what
21:01 kids time is, right? And what you tell them?
21:03 Actually, no one really asked me about, but I'm
21:05 sure people have seen it. They have, they have and
21:07 that way if someone says to me you know what
21:09 kids time. You can watch that, that's a great
21:10 program, right. Now you have someone else in
21:12 your lap, what is that? It's a quilt, when we went
21:16 to Oshkosh, we decided that with some friends we
21:20 are going to make quilts for AIDS babies.
21:22 Oh! That was a really good idea, now what part
21:27 of it, did you actually help with?
21:28 I've helped cut out the squares of material and
21:31 help. Sew it on.
21:36 So I think my mom and my friend's mom, they
21:38 sewed it on and made it all together and cut the
21:41 edges and washed it and.. And helped package it.
21:45 Yeah. Now you have also a picture you brought us
21:46 of some other quilts you made too that were
21:48 finished. Right there and there is a whole lot of
21:50 people. All those, the helpers that helped you
21:52 with that. That is a good, a good idea and what a
21:56 wonderful thing, and you know what, that's
21:58 something that boys and girls could do at home if
22:01 you have a parent or an adult that can help you
22:03 with that cause you probably will need for
22:05 some sewing on that, but oh! You can do, there is a
22:07 lot you could do like cutting out the squares,
22:09 that was good. Well great. Thank you so much, and
22:12 let me ask you this, do you share Jesus
22:14 everywhere you go? I try to.
22:15 Yes and you know why? I know you do, 'cause
22:17 you've got a beautiful smile Sarah and you
22:19 know how Miss Brenda loves smiles. Well, we
22:22 have some kids here that I would like read some
22:24 letters from and we have a picture and let's see, can
22:27 you hold this picture for me Sarah. And this one is
22:30 from Greenview, California. Let's see what,
22:33 who is writing from Greenview, California.
22:36 he says, dear Miss Brenda how are you? We are
22:39 three brothers, our names are Shane, Brendan, and
22:42 Quinn. He says, every month we go to Mrs.
22:44 Savage's house for the children's hour and we
22:47 watch Kids Time. It's our favorite thing to do and
22:49 we love cooking time and nature time. We belong to
22:53 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
22:55 Saints, and last year in March we got a puppy
22:58 and named it Honey. Said, she's a golden lab
23:00 mix and sometimes she is bad when she chases the
23:02 chickens. We go to school at our home and
23:06 our mom is our teacher. Thank you for Kids Time.
23:08 We sure like it a lot your friends Shane, Brendan,
23:11 and Quinn. Well, thank you so much, and you
23:13 know what? I am going to send you some Bible
23:14 studies and when you're all through with those
23:17 Bible studies, guess what Miss Brenda's going to
23:18 send you. I am going to send you this wonderful
23:21 Kids Time Bible right here, okay. When you
23:23 finish all those lessons so, so look for them in the
23:26 mail soon. Okay, alright, lets see I
23:28 have another letter here, and this letter is, I don't
23:32 know where it's from? There is no outside
23:33 address. Lets see, that reminds me boys and
23:36 girls, I want to tell you that, that many of you
