00:49 It's kind of hard to tell 00:50 who your friends are sometimes though, isn't it. 00:52 Some people are friendly one day 00:54 and not so friendly the next. 00:56 And sometimes they do and say things that hurt you. 00:59 what does it mean to be a true friend anyway? 01:03 there's a verse in the bible that says, 01:05 "one who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace 01:09 will have the king for a friend." 01:12 one who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace? 01:15 hmm, sounds like a true friend to me. 01:18 and you know what, people who have pure hearts 01:21 and speak with grace seem to have one thing in common. 01:24 do you know what that is? 01:25 they love Jesus. and he's their friend. 01:30 we're going to hear about a friend like that today. 01:32 in fact, he was actually a friend of the king. 01:36 and because he had a pure heart 01:38 and spoke with grace, the king was willing 01:40 to do him a great big favor. 01:43 boys and girls, remember, 01:44 you are a friend of the king too. 01:47 and he listens when you talk to him. 01:49 just like the king in our bible story today. 01:51 well right now, before you hear our story. 01:54 we're gonna see what ranger dwight has for us 01:57 on nature time. 02:25 welcome to nature time. 02:27 hey, i'm having a great time here 02:29 in grayling, michigan at camp au sable 02:31 on lake shellenbarger. 02:33 now this lake is not a deep lake. 02:35 it's a clear lake as long as i start running, 02:38 'cause it's a muddy lake too. 02:39 but i found this calm. 02:41 i've been finding all kinds of things here. 02:43 it's amazing what you can find 02:45 when you're snorkeling. 02:46 you know as i was snorkeling, i was thinking about water. 02:49 you know, water is a neat thing. 02:50 just like me snorkeling or swimming, 02:52 you can do all kinds of things in water. 02:54 i was also thinking about how long 02:56 we can live if we didn't have water. 02:59 you know, without food you can live for 03:02 a little bit more than 30 days or a month. 03:04 but without water you can't live even a week. 03:07 water is vitally important. 03:09 the water can be dangerous also. 03:11 you know, when i was in tulsa, oklahoma, 03:14 years ago there was this flood, 03:16 it rained so much, so quick, 03:18 that i remember the next day, driving around 03:21 and i saw cars that were piled up, 03:23 stacked one upon another. 03:24 the power of water is tremendous. 03:27 you know something else, i was thinking about water 03:29 and that is that it covers 75% of the earth. 03:32 can you imagine? 03:33 almost, most of the earth, 75% and out of that 75%, 03:38 there's only 3% that's fresh water. 03:41 now this lake right here, 03:42 lake shellenbarger is a freshwater lake, 03:45 only 3% of all the water is freshwater and out of that 03:50 75% is from the north pole and the south pole. 03:53 you couldn't swim in it, cause it's frozen at all the time. 03:56 now i'll tell you right now, 03:57 we need to be careful about water. 03:59 we need to not waste it. 04:00 with all this pollution that's going on, 04:03 we gotta be careful. 04:04 we need to conserve water. 04:05 do you know, kids,that 04:06 most people take 2 to 3 gallons of water 04:09 just to brush their teeth. 04:11 can you believe that?

All right. 17:57 Long, long ago there was a man named, 18:00 Jonah who lived a good life 18:02 and now always obeyed God's laws. 18:04 He thought of himself as a true man of God. 18:08 Jonah was a hard worker. 18:09 through his labels he was able to buy chickens 18:12 and a donkey and a goat. 18:15 One day God spoke to Jonah. 18:18 Jonah! What? Jonah. what was that? 18:23 Am I hearing things? Jonah, I'm the Lord God. 18:27 there is a city called Nineveh faraway. 18:30 it is filled with people that have become wicked lives. 18:34 they've forgotten about kindness and helping others. 18:37 why are you telling me about them, God? 18:40 Because I want you to go there 18:43 and tell those wicked people, 18:44 I'm going to destroy them and their city 18:47 because of their wicked ways. 18:50 yes, Lord, I will go, but they won't listen. 18:54 they're evil. 18:55 the more Jonah thought about it, more uneasy he became. 19:00 That night Jonah did not sleep very well. 19:04 No, they'll hurt me. Nineveh is so far. 19:09 they'll laugh at me. 19:10 No. Jonah was denying God's plan for him. 19:15 Nineveh, those people don't even know about God. 19:20 Why should they believe me? 19:22 They might even try to kill me. 19:25 The more Jonah thought about those wicked people 19:28 the more frightened he became. 19:30 He decided to run away from God. 19:34 That very night, he packed his clothes 19:36 and hurried to the seaport. 19:40 The next morning he saw a ship 19:42 that was getting ready to sail far across the sea. 19:46 oh, who goes there? Jonah, sir. 19:49 Please, captain, let me come with you. 19:51 I'll give you all my money for a place on your ship. 19:54 Ah, looks like trouble to me. 19:56 Yes, I wonder why he's running away from. 19:58 Jonah boarded the ship and hid deep in the holes 20:03 as far away from God as he could. 20:06 At last he heard the noise of the anchor 20:08 being drawn up onto deck. 20:11 At last we're heading out to open sea. 20:13 God will never find me now. 20:16 Oh, I'm going to have a new life for myself. 20:21 As soon as the ship was far from land. 20:24 God send a storm, for no one can hide from God. 20:29 God sent great casts flying over the sea. 20:32 Men on deck, we're taking on overboard. 20:36 Captain, we're sinking. 20:38 We need to abandon the ship throw the cargo overboard. 20:42 all the sailors rushed inside the ship. 20:44 Look, he's sound asleep, we need all hands on deck. 20:47 Hey, wake up. wake up. 20:49 come, we have no time, so wake him now. 20:52 as the sailors rushed off, Jonah woke from sleep. 20:57 outside it was dark as night. 21:00 The sailors began to throw the cargo overboard. 21:03 Jonah ran upon deck. 21:05 only one thing will save this ship. 21:09 Stop, stop, you must drown me into the water instead. 21:15 What are you saying? 21:16 We can't throw an innocent man into this angry sea. 21:19 listen, God has sent this storm to punish me. 21:25 PUNISH. Why? 21:27 I tried to run away from him. and now he has found me. 21:33 If we throw him over now, he'll surely drown. 21:37 But the wind and the waves are too much for us. 21:39 We have no choice. 21:41 The sailors grabbed Jonah and threw him into the sea. 21:46 The sea became calm. 21:50 down, down, down into the sea went Jonah, 21:55 gasping and nearly gasping and nearly drowning. 21:58 But God was not yet finished with Jonah. 22:01 He sent a big fish to swallow Jonah in one gulp. 22:07 Jonah found himself in the stomach 22:09 of a great fish. 22:11 Oh, it's so dark here. 22:14 What will become of me now? maybe God will still hear me. 22:19 Jonah turned to the Lord. Lord, thank you for saving me. 22:24 Inside the fish, Jonah prayed for three days. 22:28 I'm sorry, trying to hide from you. 22:31 Please let me out of this terrible place 22:33 and I will do as you commanded. 22:37 And God heard Jonah. and knew he had changed. 22:41 he made the fish spit out Jonah on to the land. 22:45 Thank you, merciful Lord, for delivering me safely to land. 22:51 Now, Jonah, go to Nineveh and tell those wicked people, 22:54 I'm going to destroy them. 22:57 Yes, Lord, I'm listening. I'm on my way. 23:01 Jonah entered the city calling to the people. 23:05 People of Nineveh, listen to me, 23:09 The Lord God will destroy you and your city. 23:13 Stop your wicked ways. What? 23:16 Did you hear that? 23:18 You have angered God. 23:20 He says, the Lord is angry with us. 23:23 Why what have we done? You are vain and selfish. 23:28 Maybe if we change our ways, 23:30 We've been too concerned with our fancy clothes. 23:34 You are greedy and unkind. 23:37 You should share riches with the poor. 23:39 You are wasteful as the poor starve. 23:43 We've been eating too much 23:44 and not caring about our hungry neighbors. 23:47 It's true, we've been selfish. 23:49 God will punish you. 23:52 we must all pray to the Lord for forgiveness. 23:55 The people heard Jonah pray to God 23:58 and began to mend their ways. 24:01 Meanwhile, Jonah climbed a hill about the city 24:04 and sat down to watch God destroy it. 24:07 he waited and waited. I feel like a fool. 24:12 all my work has wasted. God is not destroying Nineveh. 24:17 Jonah. yes, Lord.
