00:01 It's almost time for "Kids' Time." Yeah.
00:03 We're going to be late. 00:04 It's time to share there's a world out there 00:08 Looking for a friend like Jesus 00:11 It's time to share there's a world out there 00:16 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 00:26 Kids' time Kids' time. 00:31 Hi, boys and girls. 00:32 Many girls, when they are small, 00:33 like to pretend that they're a princess. 00:36 Now the funny thing is, most of them 00:38 would rather pretend to be a princess than a queen. 00:40 And I think there's a reason for that. 00:43 Queens sometimes have to make very hard decisions 00:45 and they have a lot of responsibility. 00:47 A good queen doesn't just wear pretty clothes 00:50 and live in a palace. 00:52 No, she has to look out for her entire country 00:55 and sometimes it's not an easy thing to do. 00:58 Different people want different things 00:59 and sometimes it's hard to make everyone happy. 01:03 Often what's best for them doesn't make them happy at all. 01:06 Our Bible story today is about a girl 01:08 who grew up to be a queen. 01:11 And she had to make 01:13 one of the hardest decisions in her whole life. 01:15 We'll hear her exciting story in just a little bit, 01:18 but first, let's see what Ranger Dwight 01:21 has to show us on "Nature Time." 01:30 Hi, boys and girls. Welcome to "Nature Time." 01:32 I'm excited today. 01:34 We're on the Grand Cayman Island 01:36 at this turtle farm with Dr. Walt Mustin. 01:38 How are you today? I'm fine, thank you. 01:40 Kids, isn't this awesome, all these turtles? Yes. 01:43 Yeah, this is great. 01:44 Now, I want to ask you a question 01:46 before we get in to the turtles. 01:48 We're at this turtle farm 01:49 but was the turtles always here 01:51 or did you just bring them here. 01:53 Years ago there were many more turtles here 01:54 than are today. Okay. 01:57 But we've been helping replenish the wild turtle population. 02:00 Boy, that's great. 02:01 And that's a very important part of our story. 02:03 And in the beginning when we released turtles 02:05 this size to the wild, 02:07 we didn't really know 02:08 whether they'd be able to transition 02:10 from the pellets to their wild diet. 02:12 Okay. Yeah. 02:13 And we put tags on their flippers 02:17 and had a US reward of $10 for the return of the tag, 02:22 provided you gave us some data 02:23 on where the turtle was found and how big it was. 02:26 So now, did it work? It did work. 02:28 And the tags started getting mailed in 02:30 from Cuba, and Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala. 02:34 We got tags from the US from Florida, 02:36 and we got one from Venezuela. 02:38 Kids, if you saw one of these turtles with a tag on, 02:40 would you turn it in for $10? 02:42 Yes. Me too. 02:45 Okay, and then the question was, 02:47 and that was an important question, 02:48 could these animals actually complete their lifecycle 02:51 by coming back to their mother beach 02:53 or their natal beach and laying eggs? Okay. 02:56 And that was difficult to prove initially 02:58 because they would outgrow their tag. 03:01 So we had to use a new method. 03:03 You see these scutes or plates on the back? 03:05 So these are called plates or scutes? 03:07 What are scutes, kids? These are called scutes. 03:10 And you can actually graft some of the white tissue 03:14 from the bottom of the turtle into one of the scutes 03:18 on the top and it looks like-- 03:20 I'm gonna put him back-- it looks like this. 03:25 Can you see that, Ranger Dwight? 03:26 Yeah, isn't that awesome, kids? Yes. 03:30 It's what we call a living tag. A living tag. 03:33 It stays with them for the rest of their life. 03:35 So it never--the living tag never goes away? 03:38 Never falls out. Wow. 03:40 Now guess what? 03:41 Last summer, five turtles that we released 25 years ago 03:48 came back to Grand Cayman and laid their own eggs. 03:52 Kids, are any of you older than 25 years old? 03:54 No. Okay. 03:56 Wow. That's a long time, isn't it? Yes. 03:58 It is. Okay, 25 years! 04:02 So it's been a success. 04:04 I guess so. 04:05 So they actually came back, 04:07 which proves that the study 04:09 that you're doing in the research is paying off. 04:11 Yes, it is, Ranger Dwight. 04:13 Now has there ever been 04:14 any skeptics thinking it doesn't pay off? 04:17 Well, there were concerns that, 04:19 one, they wouldn't survive. Okay. 04:22 And, two, they wouldn't be able to transition 04:24 from the artificial food that we make to their wild diet. 04:28 Because they thought since you raise them on this turtle farm-- 04:31 They may not know what to eat out there. 04:33 And they would-- and they would die 04:34 because they weren't used to it, but yet it's proven them wrong, 04:37 you have actually proved that it works. 04:39 That's correct. That is amazing. 04:41 Is that not amazing, kids? Yes. It is. 04:44 Oh, wow, well, Dr. Walt, I want to thank you 04:46 for being a part of this 04:48 because I've learned a lot more about turtles. 04:51 Well, turtles have been a big part of Cayman history. 04:53 If you went back 100 years ago, 04:55 you wouldn't find much tourism 04:57 and not too many banks, but you'd find lots of turtles. 05:00 Lots of turtles. 05:01 And the people that caught turtles, 05:02 the turtlers, provided for their families. 05:06 Wow, that is amazing. 05:08 And now, we're trying to provide for these turtles. 05:09 That's great. 05:11 By protecting them and conserving them. 05:12 Good. Well, Dr. Walt, I want to thank you for being here. 05:15 Kids, hasn't this been great, huh? Yes. 05:19 Okay. Never forget, nature is God's second book. 05:22 Get out there and take a look. 05:24 I want to grab me a turtle, how about you? Yes. 05:26 Let's get one of these things, okay. 05:41 This is the day 05:43 This is the day 05:44 That the Lord has made 05:46 That the Lord has made 05:49 I will rejoice 05:51 I will rejoice 05:52 And be glad in it 05:54 And be glad in it 05:57 This is the day that the Lord has made 06:01 I will rejoice and be glad in it 06:05 This is the day 06:07 This is the day 06:09 That the Lord has made. 06:20 It's "Learning Time." It's "Learning Time!" 06:22 Welcome to learning time. 06:23 I'm glad you joined us today. 06:25 Hey, it looks like we're gonna have some fun, 06:26 doesn't it? Yes. 06:28 Yeah, and I'm gonna need some helpers. 06:29 And, Noah, you're gonna be our first helper 06:30 and do you have a favorite sport? 06:33 Yes. And it's football. Football. 06:35 That's an interesting sport, isn't it? 06:36 Then we have Maria over here. 06:38 Now, Maria, do you have a favorite hobby, 06:39 things you like to do? 06:41 I like to draw. 06:42 Draw. And draw what? Horses. 06:43 Horses. I like horses. 06:45 Now I can't draw them, however. 06:47 I'm glad you can. 06:48 Then we have Samuel over here. 06:49 Samuel, do you play an instrument? Yes. 06:51 And what instrument is that? Ukulele. 06:53 Ukulele. Hey, that's an interesting string instrument. 06:56 Hey, come on over here, helpers. 06:57 Let's see what we got. 06:59 First of all we got some safety glasses, 07:00 because we're using glass. 07:02 You know, glass can break, can it? 07:04 Yeah, glass can break. 07:06 And so let's go a put on our safety glasses. 07:07 Have you ever broken glass? 07:09 Anything made out of glass? Yes. 07:11 Yeah, okay. 07:12 Well, we're not gonna try to break stuff today, okay. 07:15 So instead--in fact, you might want to put these in your pocket 07:18 because we're gonna be using 07:19 all of this table right here. Okay. 07:21 This is what we're gonna try to do. 07:22 We're gonna try to look at a couple of different forces. 07:25 And so we have a little marble, okay. 07:27 And we have a marble and a glass. 07:28 Now this is really something that takes a little practice. 07:31 Can I like get this marble in this glass 07:33 without picking the marble up and putting it in the glass? 07:36 Can I do that? Yes. 07:38 Well, we're gonna find out. 07:40 So we're gonna make the marble move 07:42 and that's going to be a inertia, 07:43 so the marble is gonna have inertia, it's going to move. 07:46 And so I'm gonna move it just like this. 07:48 If I make a twirling around-- 07:50 and maybe if I can turn it just-- 07:51 whoa, hang on I'm gonna try it again. 07:54 We're gonna lose that and we get this going right here 07:57 and maybe if I can turn it very carefully just like this 08:00 and it goes all the way over like that, wow! 08:03 How about that? Whoo! 08:06 How about that? Okay, all right. 08:07 So here, why don't you give it a try? 08:09 Everybody's got a glass and everybody's got a marble 08:11 and if you lose a marble I'll give you another one, okay. 08:15 Look at that, the marble is going around and around, 08:17 here's another one try this, here's another one, 08:18 I got down for you. Here we go. 08:20 How're we going? 08:22 You need one Maria, and then he'll need one over here, 08:23 here's another one for you 08:25 and they're going all over, yeah. 08:26 And going, going, going. 08:27 Why, here, you got another one. 08:29 Maria, here's another one for you. 08:30 Here's another one for you. 08:32 Wow, they're having trouble here. 08:33 I keep losing it. 08:34 Oh, you keep losing it? 08:36 There you go, another one over here. 08:37 I'm gonna lose that-- oh, you already got it over. 08:39 Can you pick it up? Okay, stop. Okay, stop. 08:40 Whoa, whoa, you almost had it here. 08:42 Tell you what, we're gonna start with a marble in your glass. 08:44 Good, turn it over, turn it over 08:46 and see if you can get it to spin in your glass, 08:50 now can you turn your glass sideway? 08:51 Can you turn it-- look at there, 08:53 the marble is still inside the glass, cool. 08:57 And you might be able to go all the way over just like that. 08:59 Yes, Samuel got it. Whoa. How about that? 09:03 Well, we got another one. 09:05 You can try it one more time. Okay, try it again. 09:07 You know, yeah try to pick yourself from the bottom now. 09:09 You can do that. 09:10 Look, Samuel's is off and he's going over there. 09:13 He did it all the way from the top 09:15 and we got one over here, cool. 09:17 You've got it. That's interesting. 09:19 Now, you know, there's a couple of different forces here, 09:22 isn't there? Yes. 09:23 That's right, when the marble was going 09:24 around and around and around-- have you ever, 09:26 have you ever ridden on something 09:27 that spun you around and around? 09:29 Yeah. Yes. 09:30 Like a merry-go-round or something like that. Yeah. 09:32 You know, well that-- that is a force 09:34 and the marble is moving around and around 09:36 that's inertia and the glass put another force on the marble. 09:41 The force that the glass put on was called centripetal force. 09:44 Isn't that interesting? Yeah. 09:46 You know, it reminds me of the marble, all right. 09:48 Do we look like marbles? No. 09:50 No. No. 09:51 We don't look like marbles. But you know what? 09:53 Once we get moving we have inertia, right? 09:55 We might have a goal in our life 09:56 and once we start to move it's hard to change 10:00 a moving object, isn't it? Yes. 10:01 Have you ever tried to stop a car when it was moving? 10:04 No. No. 10:05 No, because it has inertia. 10:06 Well, our lives are kind of like that. 10:08 Once we have a goal and a focus 10:10 and if we focus on Jesus, you know what? 10:12 That is our focus and we start to move in that direction 10:15 and that's the direction that we should all move, correct? 10:18 The direction that God wants us to move, 10:20 so that other forces can't take us off of that force 10:25 that Jesus wants us to have. 10:26 Because you know, in Matthew 6:33 it says, 10:29 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." 10:32 And that's what we need to do. 10:33 We need to be like that little marble in that glass 10:35 moving in a direction towards God. 10:38 Isn't that cool? 10:39 Most of the forces that we talked about today-- 10:41 and I want to be guided by the good forces. 10:43 But, you know, sometimes we can be guided 10:45 in a wrong direction, can't we? Yes. 10:47 Yeah, and that's terrible 10:49 because once we're in a wrong direction 10:51 it's hard to change 10:53 and so we have to be very careful 10:54 and so if we seek God first everyday, 10:57 He will direct our paths 10:58 and our lives will be a lot easier, won't it? 11:01 Hey, that is cool. 11:02 Well, aren't you glad you're not a marble? Yes. 11:05 Because I would be really dizzy right now 11:07 and that would be tough, wouldn't it? 11:08 I think so. 11:10 Well, you know, when we learn more about science, 11:12 we learn more about our creator, God. 11:26 Oh, Princess Celia, I'm so happy 11:28 you came to visit me in the palace today. 11:30 I love to visit you Queen Esther. 11:33 You know, would you like to pet my dog? 11:35 This is Prince Maximus. I'd love to. 11:39 Oh, and you know what? 11:41 Maybe when you come next time, 11:42 we can go out and see the beautiful 11:44 new gardens in the palace. 11:46 A moment my queen. 11:48 Yes, Hathak. 11:49 Princess Celia, take care of Maximus for me, okay? 11:51 Okay. I love to. 11:54 I went to Susa. As you ordered my queen. 11:56 But Hathak, aren't these the clothes I sent for Mordecai. 12:00 Did you not give them to him? 12:01 Yes, my queen, I did. I tried. 12:03 But he and all the people of Susa are mourning. 12:06 He refused to take off the sackcloth and ashes. 12:10 He told me to remind you that Haman the Agagite 12:13 has taken the kings decree. 12:16 He's decreed that all of the Jews, 12:19 both young and old, must be put to death 12:22 and sealed it with the king's own signet ring. 12:27 Hathak, what does Mordecai want me to do? 12:32 Did you not tell him that if I go 12:34 before the king unannounced it will mean 12:35 certain death for me? 12:38 I did my queen and he sent you this. 12:48 Do not think in your heart 12:50 that you will escape in the king's palace 12:52 any more than all the other Jews. 12:55 For if you remain completely silent this time, 12:58 relief and deliverance will rise 13:00 from the Jews from another place, 13:02 but you and your father's house will perish. 13:07 Yet who knows whether you've come to the kingdom 13:10 for such a time is this. My queen. 13:18 Hathak, tell Mordecai to gather all the Jews 13:21 and fast and pray for 3 days. 13:24 No food or drink. 13:26 And my maidens and myself will do the same. 13:30 Yes, my queen. Give Mordecai this message. 13:33 Tell him that after these 3 days are up, 13:36 I will go before the king, I will go. 13:39 And if I perish, I will, I will perish. 13:45 As you have said, my queen. 13:56 My queen, I hesistate to speak, but please reconsider. 14:02 To go before the king 14:04 unannounced could well mean your death. 14:09 Hathak, do not worry about me for my God is with me. 14:13 We've fasted and prayed for 3 days without food or drink 14:18 and now it is time for me to go before the king. 14:21 Now go hurry back to my quarters, Hathak, 14:25 and prepare the banquet for the king, 14:27 for we've not much time 14:29 and I want everything to be perfect for him. 14:31 Yes, my queen, I will. 14:35 Halt, by order of the king, 14:38 no one is to enter without being summoned. 14:41 It'll be all right. It'll be all right. Uh, but-- 15:03 Haman, I believe it's time to reduce the people's taxes. 15:09 Or we could raise the taxes 15:12 and spend that gold on camels with two humps. 15:15 Camels! Yes. 15:17 We have plenty of camels. 15:18 The people made fountains and gardens in the city. 15:21 You're majesty. To make it a beautiful place. 15:23 Someone is coming unannounced! 15:24 Quick, protectors, protect the king. 15:26 Who would dare enter the throne room unannounced? 15:29 Queen Esther? Halt. 15:32 He's raised the septre. Step back and let her pass. 15:36 This is unheard of and a great insult. 15:39 She should be put to death, immediately. As your advisor-- 15:45 Silence! Let her approach. 15:58 My beautiful queen, what is so important 16:03 that you would risk your very life 16:05 to come unannounced into the throne room? 16:09 What is your request? 16:11 As my queen I will grant you any request, 16:15 yeah, even up to half of my kingdom. 16:18 If it pleases the king, I would like to invite you 16:22 and Haman to a banquet tonight that I have prepared. 16:26 Haman and I? Yes, my king. 16:31 We will be pleased to grant your request. 16:35 Thank you, your majesty. 16:37 It honors me greatly to have you and Haman 16:39 join me tonight for dinner. 16:41 Let her go safely. 16:51 Haman, whatever was that all about? 16:55 I'm not quite sure, 16:58 but perhaps we'll find out at tonight's feast. 17:02 Indeed we will, Haman. Indeed we will. 17:27 Bow. Bend a knee. 17:32 I bow only to my God. 17:36 Do you have any idea who I'm? 17:39 I know who you are, Haman. But I bow only to my God. 17:45 Mordecai the Jew, you'll regret this. 18:03 Queen Esther, this is a magnificent feast 18:07 that you have prepared. 18:08 You've outdone yourself. 18:10 Why the king couldn't eat another morsel. 18:14 But if you insist I'll have some bread 18:16 and these cherries and the grapes, 18:18 wonderful, wonderful. 18:21 A fine feast, your majesty. Excellent, hmm, excellent. 18:30 My beautiful queen, the king is aware 18:35 that you have asked us here this evening to ask a request of me. 18:41 You know, that I will grant to you any request. 18:44 Ye, even up to half of my kingdom. 18:49 What is your request? 18:51 My king, if it pleases you, 18:53 I would like for both you and Haman 18:55 to come again tomorrow night to another banquet 18:58 that I have prepared and then I will tell you my request. 19:05 Indeed we would be delighted to return to your table. 19:09 But, my queen, you must not keep 19:13 the king in suspense any longer. 19:17 One day more and then you shall reveal your request to the king. 19:27 Haman, let us return to the palace 19:30 for there's much more work to do 19:32 for my people and for the kingdom. 19:34 Yes, your majesty. Much work to do, lots and lots of work. 19:46 Oh God of our fathers, 19:48 I don't know what the future holds for me or for my people. 19:54 But I know You have a special plan for us 19:56 and I pray that You give me the strength 20:00 to trust You through all of it. 20:02 May Your name be praised forever. 20:26 He's able He's able 20:29 I know He's able 20:31 I know my Lord is able to carry me through 20:36 He's able He's able 20:39 I know that He's able 20:41 I know my Lord is able to carry me through 20:46 He healed the broken-hearted 20:48 And set the captives free 20:51 He made the lame to walk again 20:53 And caused the blind to see 20:55 I know He's able 20:57 He's able I know He's able 21:00 I know my Lord is able to carry me through 21:13 Hi, boys and girls, 21:15 it's time for Miss.
