00:01 It's almost time for Kids Time,
00:03 we're gonna be late. It's time to share
00:06 there's a world out there, looking for a friend
00:10 like Jesus, it's time to share there's a world
00:15 out there. Let's tell them that He loves us so.
00:20 Let's tell them that He loves us so.
00:24 Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time.
00:31 Hi boys and girls, if I offered to give you
00:33 anything you wanted what would you ask
00:35 for, would it be a pony or a new bike,
00:38 how about an iPod or an exciting vacation.
00:41 In fact wouldn't you like to have this
00:44 beautiful present right here. My grandsons
00:46 Michael and Jason know that I have
00:48 really soft heart and I love to give them
00:50 things. I love to see them happy.
00:53 God loves to give good gifts to his children
00:55 too. He loves to see you happy.
00:58 But God's gifts are a whole lot better
01:00 than anything I can give. Back in Bible
01:03 times, a man ask the Prophet Elijah for a
01:05 very special gift, but what he ask for wasn't
01:08 something Elijah could give him. It was a
01:11 gift that had to come from God and when
01:14 he received it that man was truly happy.
01:18 Best of all he used that gift to bless others
01:21 for as long as he lived and it's a gift that you
01:24 can ask for too. You will meet that man in our
01:26 Bible story today and find out what he
01:28 asked for. But first let's get
01:31 ready for our Nature Time.
01:39 Hi boys and girls, welcome to Nature Time.
01:42 We have a special thrill today, we have
01:44 our friend Lin with us and she is one of those
01:46 people that work with animals and birds that
01:49 have been injured, and we have some of her
01:51 friends today. Lin, what is this we have?
01:54 This is a little Saw-whet Owl. Amazing,
01:58 now it has been injured? It has, it actually
02:01 was hit by a car and a gentleman was kind
02:05 enough to stop actually see it in the middle
02:07 of a highway, pick it up and bring it to our
02:09 facility. And then you cared for it will never
02:12 be able to fly again perhaps. No, this is
02:14 not a really simple bird, so we will keep
02:17 it on, and use it in education programs and
02:21 events like this. That's wonderful,
02:23 now this creature being an owl, it would
02:26 live in a hole, in a tree hole is that what
02:29 they normally do. Yeah, most of our owls
02:31 are what we call cavity nesters, they will
02:34 seek out a hole in a dead tree or stump and
02:39 lay their eggs there. And how many eggs
02:41 do they would normally have. For these
02:43 species usually 2 to 4, so right in that range.
02:47 Now do both the parents feed, do you
02:50 know if both the parent feed father and
02:52 mother, both they feed. They actually do
02:53 and that's fairly consistent with most of
02:56 the owl's species, primarily it's the female
03:00 that's stays with the nest incubating the
03:03 eggs and then defending the young and the
03:05 male is the one that usually goes back and
03:07 forth bringing the food. I have a question
03:10 Ranger Jim. Is this a baby owl or this owl's
03:14 full grown size. This is actually a full grown
03:17 Saw-whet Owl. They're one of the smallest
03:19 owls that we have here in North America
03:22 and yeah it won't get any bigger than this.
03:25 It's even smaller then the Screech Owl that
03:26 we heard. Yes it is yeah. And boys and girls
03:28 if you have been out camping perhaps at
03:30 night and you have heard the Screech Owl,
03:34 it can be a nerving somewhat, a high pitch,
03:37 well I can't do it because my lips are not
03:38 just right now, but a high pitch screaming
03:41 sounds that give you those cool chills on
03:43 the back of your neck and that is the
03:46 Screech Owl. And so this is very interesting
03:48 to me because I quite frankly have never
03:50 seen one Ranger Rod up close and its very
03:53 exciting to me see. Now you also have Barred
03:56 Owls, do you have that come. Now tell us
03:58 something about the Barred Owls. Okay the
04:00 Barred Owl is one of our larger owls here in
04:03 North America, it's actually the forth
04:05 largest by weight, and they're more common
04:09 in the Northern parts of the country,
04:12 and this little guy is found throughout the
04:15 US. It's a fairly common owl in North America,
04:19 yeah. We have, when we were in Florida,
04:21 we have Barred Owls and they come every
04:24 evening near our camp and especially early
04:28 in the spring when they begin to, begin to
04:30 nest and mate like that they go up they
04:32 have a high pitch call, I have a friend who can
04:34 do it, ooh aah aah a fellow calling back and
04:37 forth and fussing, and its it's really amusing
04:40 to hear when they are talking back and
04:42 forth and people in our camps are I wish
04:44 someone get a gun, and shoot those old owls,
04:46 and I say don't you dare. No. You should do
04:49 something that I would most certainly.
04:51 Now tell us, let's talk about the big guy in
04:54 the owl family the great Horned Owl.
04:56 Okay, yeah the Great Horned is the largest
04:59 by weight in North America and we are
05:03 currently carrying for a couple of Great Horned
05:05 Owls that have being injured. We also have
05:08 what's call the Great Grey Owl they are
05:10 taller yet than the Great Horned Owl.
05:13 They are the tallest that we have in North
05:15 America so. We have, they are quite common
05:18 were we live in Michigan were the Great
05:20 Horned Owl is quite common and of course
05:22 mostly throughout United States we have
05:24 and I caution people and I have cautioned
05:27 them before that if you have and unfortunately
05:30 we have many people do that have a cat,
05:32 pet cat that they just allow to go out and
05:34 just prowl the woods and what have you be
05:36 very careful in the spring because the Great
05:38 Horned Owl is a very efficient predator.
05:41 They are not beyond scooping right down
05:44 on silent wings and they will pick up the cat
05:46 and the cat will disappear. And you mention
05:48 that Ranger Jim these are predatory birds,
05:51 a bird this small what would it primarily feed
05:55 on. Yeah, you're right these are all raptors
05:59 which means the birds of pray and they do
06:01 hunt for live food. This little guy would feed
06:05 primarily on mice, small rodents in the wild,
06:09 and sometimes small birds. Okay.
06:12 And there is something peculiar about the
06:14 Great Horned Owl, he is one of the few
06:17 creatures in nature that eats skunk.
06:21 That's correct. The Great Horned Owl will
06:23 scoop down and grab a skunk, and so I have
06:25 found many Great Horned Owl nest just simply
06:29 sniffing the air. I know it's in the area,
06:31 but I can tell that is very, very common
06:34 to find that the Great Horned Owl will
06:36 take snunk. And thank you so much Lin for
06:39 coming today and being with us. My pleasure.
06:41 Boys and girls Ranger Jim, and Ranger Rod
06:44 as saying as always don't forget to tell Jesus
06:47 you love him because he really does love you.
06:59 Peter and John went to pray.
07:03 They met a lame man on the way.
07:07 He asked for alms and held out his palms,
07:11 And this is what Peter did say"
07:15 Silver and gold have I none,
07:18 but such as I have give I thee.
07:22 In the name of Jesus Christ of
07:26 Nazareth rise up and walk.
07:30 He went walking and leaping and praising God,
07:34 Walking and leaping and praising God,
07:38 In the name of Jesus Christ of
07:42 Nazareth rise up and walk.
07:46 [Foreign language]
08:35 In the name of Jesus Christ of
08:40 Nazareth rise up and walk.
08:52 Welcome to Learning Time, I'm glad you're here
08:54 today and I've got a studio audience here
08:56 are you glad to be here too. Yes.
09:00 Well today we got three helpers.
09:01 We are gonna to do some experiments looks
09:03 like we got some equipment up here this
09:05 should be interesting. I've got Jocelyn over
09:07 there. Jocelyn, have you ever wanted to fly?
09:10 Yeah. Oh cool well today we are gonna talk
09:12 about flying and that will be fun.
09:14 We've got Macey over here.
09:15 Macey, have you ever flown?
09:18 No, well there is gonna be fun, I don't think
09:19 you are gonna fly today but we might make
09:21 something else fly. We got Bryan way back
09:23 there, Bryan have you ever flown?
09:25 No. No, yeah we are gonna fly something,
09:27 so come up my helpers and let's see
09:29 what we can fly around here today.
09:31 Now we've got a piece of equipment up
09:33 here and what is this staying up here.
09:36 Come on in right over here what is that
09:38 thing? A fan. It's a fan that's right, we can
09:40 cool ourselves off with the fan couldn't we,
09:42 and that would be kind of cool to cool yourself
09:44 off but instead we're gonna use it in order
09:47 to make something fly. And if you have fan
09:49 at home you can do this experiment too.
09:52 I love experiments that we can do at home.
09:55 So, Macey why don't you grab a hold of
09:57 balloon, yeah this is cool and you can have
09:58 one too Jocelyn. I am gonna turn the fan on
10:01 and then I am gonna see as you gonna make
10:04 a noise. Yes. Yes, we have a motor there
10:06 and there is fan, so I am gonna to turn it
10:07 on that at our lowest speed and I can feel
10:10 the air coming up here, can you feel it Bryan.
10:13 Yeah. Can you feel the air, okay yeah,
10:14 hey Macey can you put your balloon right
10:16 here and let check this out, oh cool isn't
10:20 that neat. Yes. The balloon is just flying
10:24 around, go ahead and grab it, why don't
10:25 you put your balloon on there too.
10:27 We've got one over here, hang on and
10:29 we're gonna try to get this go and add
10:30 yours too there, see if we can get two of
10:31 them going, we can get two of them flying
10:33 around, wow. And they're just flying around
10:36 and sometimes they fall off but you know
10:38 there's a science principal that we want
10:39 to talk about and it's about fast moving air.
10:42 When we have fast moving air, go and
10:44 put that one back on. When we have fast
10:46 moving air, it creates low air pressure and
10:49 then high air pressure just keeps all of
10:52 those balloons flying, isn't that cool. Yes.
10:55 I think it's great, well Macey you want to
10:56 jump up here and see if we can you to fly.
10:59 No, it wouldn't work, would it? I'll tell you
11:01 what we got though I've got a big old
11:02 beach balloon right here, so Bryan why don't
11:04 you grab a hold of this, I want you to
11:05 put it right here Let's see if we can fly
11:07 that, is that flying? No. No, what's wrong?
11:11 It's too heavy. It's too heavy or we don't
11:14 have what? Enough air. Enough air,
11:17 well I'll tell you let's turn it on to the next
11:19 speed, okay. Let's turn it on to the medium
11:21 speed the fan's going, is blowing a lot more
11:25 air it's still not gonna work, yeah how
11:26 about on high. Check, it's really on high now
11:29 it's moving around a little bit making me
11:31 a little dizzy. But we still don't have enough
11:34 air, I'll tell what I am gonna to do.
11:36 Bryan why don't you grab that off of it
11:38 for us, this balloon or beach ball I guess
11:40 that's what it is. Hey lets try something that
11:43 can give us some more force, you know
11:45 force is kind of an interesting thing.
11:48 Do you know what this is? A leaf blower.
11:50 Yeah, it's a leaf blower and you know if you
11:52 don't have the hair dryer and you forget
11:53 you can always use this because well probably
11:56 not, hey we've got a lot of air right here
11:58 I forget which way this switch works and
11:59 that's the. Oh there sorry about that.
12:04 Yeah, I am going to turn this thing on and
12:06 Bryan what I want you to do and this might be
12:08 hard, you might have to practice it a couple
12:10 of time. I want you to throw the ball the
12:12 beach ball up in the air and we are gonna to
12:14 try to get the beach ball focus on that
12:17 blast of air coming out of our blower,
12:19 are you ready okay here we go how about
12:21 a count down here 3 2 1. Okay up in the air,
12:27 okay let's try it again, let's try it again,
12:29 give it to Bryan okay. Just kind of straight up
12:31 here let's try again and here we go countdown
12:34 3 2 1. Oh yeah isn't cool we got blower over
12:44 here. A little louder there. There it go,
12:50 well over here, we can go over there,
12:55 isn't that cool. Isn't that something,
13:03 that really is you know if that ball and
13:06 these balloons if they didn't float,
13:08 when we have a lot of air pressure going
13:10 through there you know every airplane
13:12 would have to crash because that's how
13:14 airplanes fly, fast moving air creates low air
13:18 pressure and the high air pressure keeps
13:20 the wing up and it's keeps these balloons up
13:22 and it keeps them from falling out of that
13:24 blast of air, isn't that cool. Yeah. Yeah,
13:28 and you know what every time I see a
13:29 bird's wing or a bird fly, it reminds me that
13:32 God made those little bird wings and
13:35 those bird wings, they use that principle,
13:38 that natural principle and we call it the
13:39 Bernoulli effect because Robert Bernoulli,
13:43 he thought of it, but it was something that
13:45 God had already invented right and created.
13:48 And that's why birds can fly and that's
13:50 why airplanes can fly, and that's really cool
13:53 science. Well remember boys and girls
13:55 whenever we learn more about science we're
13:58 learning more about our creator God.
14:08 May the God of heaven bless you as you
14:11 serve him all of your life? Thank You.
14:15 You are welcome. Excuse me. Yes.
14:25 Isn't that Elijah's mantle? Yes, it is. Yes,
14:28 it is, what are you doing with it, who are you,
14:32 where is Elijah. I am Elisha,
14:35 I was Elijah's servant and this is his mantle.
14:38 Oh yes. And now I am the Prophet of God.
14:41 You are the Prophet? Friend let me tell
14:44 you about the first time. I am confused.
14:45 I met Elijah, I was out on my field plowing
14:49 with my ox, and Elijah the Prophet came
14:51 up and I saw him, and I stopped, and he
14:53 walked right up to me and he took this very
14:56 mantle and he placed it on my shoulder.
14:59 As soon as he did that I knew that God was
15:02 calling me to serve the Prophet. Well, I didn't
15:07 go back home, I didn't tell my folks,
15:09 I just left straight then to serve Elijah.
15:14 And these last few years have being
15:16 amazing. Elijah is just superman of God.
15:20 He prays for people and things happened.
15:23 When he goes and talks people listen and
15:25 as I watched him I saw the spirit of God
15:27 moving in him and I said some day I hope
15:31 that I can have this spirit too. Well, just
15:36 last night I had a dream and in this dream
15:39 God told me that Elijah was going to be
15:41 taken up to heaven and I woke up and I
15:45 wondered what that dream meant and we
15:48 were in Bethel and Elijah said Elisha,
15:51 it is time for me to go, you stay here.
15:54 And I said surely as the Lord lives master,
15:56 I will not leave you, so we left together and
16:00 we went to Jericho, at the school of the
16:02 Prophets and when we got there he said
16:04 Elisha, it's time for me to go you stay here.
16:08 Once again I said as surely as the Lord lives,
16:11 I will not leave you. So we walked out of
16:15 town and when we came to Jordan River,
16:17 we were out there nobody else was there,
16:19 just me and him and he was really quiet
16:22 and I was just walking right behind and
16:24 wondering, is he going to be taken to heaven
16:28 what's gonna happen. And I was kind of
16:30 sad because Elijah was my best friend and
16:33 he became a father to me and the thought
16:35 of him being gone was scary.
16:38 Well we came to Jordan river and he said
16:40 Elisha stay here, I must go alone.
16:44 And I said as surely as the Lord lives,
16:46 I will not leave you master and he kind of
16:49 smiled and then he took this mantle and he
16:52 rolled it up and he struck the Jordan river
16:55 and the Jordan river just spread and there
16:59 was a dry path way right between in the river
17:02 and we are able to walk across on dry ground.
17:06 Now after that miracle I knew something
17:08 special is gonna happened and I wasn't
17:10 disappointed because very soon after we got
17:12 on to the other side I heard this sound that was
17:15 so beautiful, I can't even describe it.
17:18 And I looked up and it was like a shooting
17:22 star or a fiery chariot or something came
17:26 right down and swept in between me and
17:28 Elijah and it caught up Elijah and it took him
17:31 up into the sky and as he got further and
17:34 further away I saw him take something to
17:36 throw it behind him and then he disappeared
17:41 and this mantle landed right at my feet and
17:45 then I knew without a shadow of a doubt,
17:48 that I was the next Prophet of God.
17:53 I walked back to the Jordan river and I took
17:55 the mantle and I struck the water again and
17:59 there was a dry path for me to cross over.
18:02 I crossed over and now I've met you,
18:05 you're the first person I have told.
18:08 I don't know what God has in store for the
18:10 future, but I know that he will bless me
18:13 because before Elijah left he said is there
18:15 any thing I can give you and I said Elijah,
18:19 if you can give me one thing in the world
18:21 I would like a double portion of your spirit
18:24 and Elijah said, that's a hard thing you're
18:27 asking, but if you see me being taken into
18:30 heaven you will receive and praise the
18:34 Lord I saw him go up to heaven and I know
18:38 that Jehovah will fill me with two times the
18:41 spirit that Elijah have and I know that he's
18:45 going to do amazing things for this country.
18:49 So it is Elijah mantle. Yes it is. And you
18:53 have being chosen by God to be a Prophet.
18:56 Yes, I have Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
19:01 Well I have to keep going, the schools of the
19:03 Prophets need to hear the story and they
19:05 need to know that when God calls you to
19:07 do something he will take care of you and
19:09 he will fill you with his Holy Spirit.
19:12 Can you bless me before you go?
19:13 I would love too. Father, please bless this man
19:17 and fill him with your spirit. Help us to stand
19:20 strong for you Amen. Praise the Lord.
19:23 Thank you. Praise the Lord. Thank you.
20:23 Hi boys and girls, it's time for Miss Brenda's
20:25 book of the day. And today I have a
20:28 wonderful book for you, it's call Step By
20:31 Step by Jerry D. Thomas, an incredible author
20:34 and he is written a book to help you
20:36 understand how to have a closer walk with
20:38 Jesus. And it's a wonderful book that I
20:40 highly recommend and I think any time that
20:43 we have a chance to learn how to be closer
20:45 to Jesus it's the thing to do, right?
20:48 And someone else that loves Jesus and always
20:51 wants a closer walk with him is my friend Alex.
20:54 Thank you Alex for being with us today I am
20:56 really, I am so glad that you are with in
20:57 Sharing Time. I actually met you at camp
21:00 meeting and when you shared your love for
21:01 Jesus, what was I telling you. You got to come
21:04 be here on Sharing Time, and I am thankful that
21:06 you came all the way from New York to
21:07 be here and you what did something with the
21:10 whole group of kids right and. Yes. Tell me,
21:13 tell me in fact I think we have a picture,
21:15 let's put the picture up real quick and this
21:17 is the picture of your whole group and where
21:21 did they go and what they did do.
21:22 We went on a mission trip to Riverton,
21:23 Wyoming in summer. And what was this
21:26 mission for what was the purpose?
21:28 We went to go and check out ourselves,
21:29 and the first week we did community service and
21:32 the second week we did a VBS for the kids.
21:35 And VBS is vacation Bible school. Now what do you
21:37 mean community service, what was that, what did
21:39 you do for that? We went around and we
21:41 build a old Church and we painted and we
21:44 made some houses for some people that didn't
21:45 have any. And what did they say were they
21:48 surprised that you were doing that.
21:50 They were so happy and they some of them with
21:51 surprises they are filling the houses.
21:55 And what about, you told me some lady
21:56 that you helped out a lot, what was that
21:59 about. We build the fence around her yard
22:01 to keep out the coyotes. Coyotes! I don't know
22:04 about you but I'm not comfortable with coyotes.
22:07 Do you think that picket fence could do it.
22:09 Oh yeah it was big. It was big, so was a good
22:11 one. Now the second week when you're doing
22:13 the vocation Bible school what did you
22:14 personally do. Well there is was this one little
22:16 boy named Julian, and we have this huge VBS
22:20 for all the kids, and he was our trouble maker.
22:22 Oh dear and older he? He was 6 years old.
22:25 Okay and what was that like with somebody that
22:28 was really trying your patience.
22:30 He just wouldn't listen, he wont do any
22:32 thing that he was supposed to do and he was
22:34 always that running around trying to knock
22:35 things over. But by the end of the week he
22:37 decided to follow Jesus and he calmed down
22:39 he was like perfect. What was he telling
