(Miss Ruthie) Hello Boys and
Girls. Welcome to Starting with
00:00:23.69\00:00:28.42
Jesus where we want to encourage
you to start everything you do
00:00:28.46\00:00:30.96
with Jesus. Today Miss Michelle
is going to be telling us some
00:00:30.99\00:00:35.56
of the signs that Jesus gave us
so that we can be ready when he
00:00:35.60\00:00:40.77
comes. We also want to remind
you that we have a Storytime
00:00:40.80\00:00:46.61
that's going on right now
and you can check it out at
00:00:46.64\00:00:49.38
startingwithjesus.com/stories
Miss Kara is telling us a story
00:00:49.41\00:00:53.28
about a little boy named Satu
who has some strange visitors on
00:00:53.31\00:00:57.85
his island. So check it out.
But before we get to any of our
00:00:57.89\00:01:01.59
program let's start with some
singing and our first song this
00:01:01.62\00:01:05.16
week is going to be called
Look for the Waymarks which is
00:01:05.19\00:01:08.60
something we should be
doing. Right? Looking for those
00:01:08.63\00:01:12.03
waymarks of Jesus's coming. A
waymark is a sign so that's what
00:01:12.07\00:01:17.27
our stories about so we're
going to sing about the signs of
00:01:17.31\00:01:20.21
Jesus' coming.

(Mr. Prewitt) Welcome back boys
and girls to our nature lessons
00:06:28.88\00:06:31.49
I want to have a prayer with
you and then talk. Let's pray.
00:06:31.52\00:06:33.72
Father in heaven, bless us as
we look at the lesson you've put
00:06:33.76\00:06:38.59
into the trees and into the bark
I ask for that gift in the name
00:06:38.63\00:06:42.33
of Jesus, Amen.
00:06:42.36\00:06:43.93
Isn't bark amazing? Have you
ever looked at it? What you may
00:06:43.97\00:06:49.47
or may not know is that bark has
two important layers. There is
00:06:49.50\00:06:53.88
the outer layer which is
dead. This dead bark plays an
00:06:53.91\00:06:57.78
important role; it keeps the
beetles out. It keeps the bugs
00:06:57.81\00:07:03.32
out. It keeps the ants out. It
stops the animals from digging
00:07:03.35\00:07:07.82
holes. That's what it's for.
It prevents the toxins and the
00:07:07.86\00:07:12.03
dangers. Like this dead part
does something for the tree.
00:07:12.06\00:07:16.03
But underneath the dead part
which you can't see here because
00:07:16.06\00:07:19.83
I got this from a dead tree,
there's a living part of the
00:07:19.87\00:07:23.91
bark that is just inside the
bark that allows the juice of
00:07:23.94\00:07:29.14
the tree, the blood of the tree,
to climb up and give life to the
00:07:29.18\00:07:33.45
whole organism. You know when I
think about the dead part of the
00:07:33.48\00:07:37.89
dead part of the tree and
the living part, trees need them
00:07:37.92\00:07:41.62
both. It's a lot like
the 10 commandments. The 10
00:07:41.66\00:07:44.96
commandments, there's a dead
part. That's the letter, that's
00:07:44.99\00:07:48.03
the part that's like written in
the Bible, the thou shalt not,
00:07:48.06\00:07:51.07
one, two, three, four, five.
That dead part is real. And then
00:07:51.10\00:07:55.94
there's a living part. That's
the part that's written in your
00:07:55.97\00:07:59.07
heart. The part that says love
your parents and respect them.
00:07:59.11\00:08:03.18
Be faithful to your promises.
Love and honor the Sabbath.
00:08:03.21\00:08:06.58
There's a part of the law that's
dead but let's not mock that
00:08:06.61\00:08:11.45
part. You know even the
dead part of the law, those 10
00:08:11.49\00:08:14.19
commandments, make life better
for people that aren't converted
00:08:14.22\00:08:18.86
I mean the unconverted man
that's faithful to his wife has
00:08:18.89\00:08:21.16
a better life than the one that
commits adultery. The man that's
00:08:21.20\00:08:24.23
not a Christian that
steals has a worse life than the
00:08:24.27\00:08:27.24
Nonchristian who doesn't steal.
I mean that the man who doesn't
00:08:27.27\00:08:30.97
follow God, his life is still
better if he doesn't murder.
00:08:31.01\00:08:34.44
What I'm saying to you is just
like the bark goes all the way
00:08:34.48\00:08:38.11
around the tree the dead
part of the 10 commandments they
00:08:38.15\00:08:41.98
protect us in every direction.
But what about that living part?
00:08:42.02\00:08:46.25
There's not much value in
protecting a dead tree. That
00:08:46.29\00:08:51.59
living part of the law is the
part that goes in your heart.
00:08:51.63\00:08:54.46
And when we accept God's law
into our heart and let Him write
00:08:54.50\00:08:58.23
it there by accepting it,
by me not just saying okay I'll
00:08:58.27\00:09:02.57
obey it but saying thank you God
for that instruction. I see it's
00:09:02.60\00:09:05.81
a better way of life. I choose
that. That's how we invite Him
00:09:05.87\00:09:09.21
to write the law and when we
follow the law that way we're
00:09:09.24\00:09:12.95
like the tree that has
that living sap moving up. It's
00:09:12.98\00:09:16.48
causing our leaves to grow and
our branches to expand. Do we
00:09:16.52\00:09:19.69
need the 10 commandments? Yes,
we need the dead part. That part
00:09:19.72\00:09:24.09
stops everybody from going the
wrong way if they'll listen and
00:09:24.13\00:09:27.33
we want the living part, the
part that's in our hearts and
00:09:27.36\00:09:30.50
when we have both of those we're
well protected from the dangers
00:09:30.53\00:09:34.27
that come our way.
Let me pray with you.
00:09:34.30\00:09:36.50
Father in heaven, I thank you
for the bark you put on trees
00:09:36.54\00:09:40.11
and for the law you've given
us. Please use it. We ask in the
00:09:40.14\00:09:45.78
name of Jesus, Amen.

00:09:47.58\00:09:53.09
(Miss Michelle) Signs of the
times. Have you heard of that
00:09:53.12\00:09:56.46
before? It's a magazine. Right?
But it's also signs that are
00:09:56.49\00:10:01.93
happening all around us that
show that the time is coming for
00:10:01.96\00:10:05.50
Jesus to come very soon. Our
lesson today is called Signs of
00:10:05.53\00:10:09.67
Jesus' Coming. Let's pray.
00:10:09.70\00:10:11.31
Dear heavenly Father, we thank
you for loving us. Thank you for
00:10:11.34\00:10:15.54
sending Jesus and thank you that
He's going to come back and get
00:10:15.58\00:10:18.51
us really soon. I can't wait for
that day. Please send your Holy
00:10:18.55\00:10:22.72
Spirit to fill us with your
power and your love and your
00:10:22.75\00:10:26.32
enthusiasm for reaching others
for you. In your name, we pray
00:10:26.35\00:10:30.46
Amen.
00:10:30.49\00:10:32.63
Jesus and some of his disciples
were sitting, do you remember
00:10:32.66\00:10:35.03
where? On the Mount of Olives.
And they came to Him with that
00:10:35.06\00:10:40.47
question, How will we know
when the time has come? Do you
00:10:40.50\00:10:44.57
remember that? And Jesus decided
that they needed to know these
00:10:44.61\00:10:49.94
things. Now the disciples had a
lot of questions like when will
00:10:49.98\00:10:53.65
the temple be destroyed? You
said that not one stone will be
00:10:53.68\00:10:56.42
left upon another. And when will
the end of the world be? The
00:10:56.45\00:11:00.12
disciples would have to
tell others the answers to these
00:11:00.16\00:11:02.16
questions and Jesus decided to
show to them, to shine the light
00:11:02.19\00:11:08.06
on these important questions.
And it's important for us to
00:11:08.10\00:11:14.34
know today as well. Now we're
going to just briefly do an
00:11:14.37\00:11:18.41
overview today. I highly
recommend you learn more about
00:11:18.44\00:11:21.74
these topics. You can go to our
website startingwithjesus.com
00:11:21.78\00:11:26.11
and go to Explore the Future and
learn more about some of these
00:11:26.15\00:11:29.42
things if you find them
interesting. I think they're
00:11:29.45\00:11:32.15
really important to learn more
about. Today we're just going to
00:11:32.19\00:11:36.02
do an overview. Some of
the things that Jesus told the
00:11:36.06\00:11:38.46
disciples pertained to the
temple being destroyed and some
00:11:38.49\00:11:41.56
of them talk about the end of
the world. Miss Michelle, how do
00:11:41.60\00:11:44.27
we know the difference? I'm glad
you asked. How do we know the
00:11:44.30\00:11:48.54
difference? By studying the
prophecies; the prophecies in
00:11:48.57\00:11:51.67
the Old Testament and the
prophecies in the New Testament
00:11:51.71\00:11:54.21
as well. See Jesus, and the
Bible in general, give signs but
00:11:54.24\00:11:59.71
they don't give exact times and
dates. We don't know when the
00:11:59.75\00:12:02.65
exact time and date of Jesus'
coming is going to be. But why
00:12:02.68\00:12:06.99
would He not tell us that?
Wouldn't that be convenient?
00:12:07.02\00:12:09.46
It would be interesting if you
went to buy a plane ticket and
00:12:09.49\00:12:12.23
their like it'll be about this
time. Wouldn't make sense. Right
00:12:12.26\00:12:15.86
We want to know the time, the
date, we want to know what gate
00:12:15.90\00:12:18.17
We want to know which number we
are to board. But Jesus' coming
00:12:18.20\00:12:23.81
is not like an airplane flight.
He wants us to be ready all the
00:12:23.84\00:12:28.58
time. These signs though
are good warnings. Now the first
00:12:28.61\00:12:32.21
warning that Jesus gave
we're going to talk about is in
00:12:32.25\00:12:34.05
Matthew 24 verse 45, Matthew 24
verse 45: No it's not in verse
00:12:34.08\00:12:48.93
45, it's in verses 4 and 5:
Let's just try that. Yep, that
00:12:48.96\00:12:52.53
makes more sense. Commas
are important aren't they?
00:12:52.57\00:12:54.50
And Jesus answered and said
to them, Take heed that no one
00:12:54.54\00:12:57.04
deceives you, [to deceive you is
to trick you] for many will come
00:12:57.07\00:13:02.31
in my name saying I'm the Christ
and will deceive many. Now in
00:13:02.34\00:13:06.92
Jesus time there were many false
Christs, weren't there? There
00:13:06.95\00:13:09.68
were many false messiahs
who came and said, Oh, I'm the
00:13:09.72\00:13:12.85
messiah, follow me. And there
were a lot of different people
00:13:12.89\00:13:15.09
who followed them. And they
would have uprisings against the
00:13:15.12\00:13:19.59
Romans and the Romans would kill
them all or would put them in
00:13:19.63\00:13:22.96
prison and there were those
things. Those three things were
00:13:23.00\00:13:24.57
happening when Jesus was here
on earth and they're going to
00:13:24.60\00:13:27.37
happen once again at the end. In
fact, in 2 Corinthians 11 verse
00:13:27.40\00:13:32.07
14 it says that Satan can
actually transform himself into
00:13:32.11\00:13:35.24
an angel of light and we know
that at the end of time Satan
00:13:35.28\00:13:37.85
will impersonate Jesus.
What does Jesus tell us though?
00:13:37.88\00:13:41.85
Don't worry. Jesus gives us just
what they do when this happens.
00:13:41.88\00:13:46.29
That's why it's so important
to study these things. Right?
00:13:46.32\00:13:48.82
Matthew 24 verses 23-26 tells us
what to do when we hear someone
00:13:48.86\00:13:55.80
say... Then if anyone says
to you look there's the Christ.
00:13:55.83\00:13:59.93
Or there, over there, he's there
look, look, look. Don't believe
00:13:59.97\00:14:05.47
them.
00:14:05.51\00:14:06.84
For false Christs and false
prophets will arise and show
00:14:06.88\00:14:10.28
great signs and wonders and
deceive, if possible, even the
00:14:10.31\00:14:13.78
elect.
00:14:13.82\00:14:15.42
What does that mean, even the
elect? Even the people who are
00:14:15.45\00:14:17.82
really close to Jesus and really
following Him carefully and
00:14:17.85\00:14:21.32
maybe they've been Christians
for a really long time, or maybe
00:14:21.36\00:14:24.89
they study the Bible every day.
Satan will try to even trick
00:14:24.93\00:14:29.16
those people.
00:14:29.20\00:14:30.53
See, I have told you beforehand,
[this is what we're to do]
00:14:30.57\00:14:33.84
therefore, if they say look he's
in the desert [come on, let's go
00:14:33.87\00:14:37.47
check it out, he's there] Do
not go out; or look he's in the
00:14:37.51\00:14:41.88
inner rooms. Do not believe
it. [Do not believe it] For as
00:14:41.91\00:14:47.48
lightening comes from the east
and flashes all the way across
00:14:47.52\00:14:50.25
the sky to the west, so will
the coming of the Son of man be.
00:14:50.29\00:14:53.46
We're going to know when Jesus
is here. And we also know that
00:14:53.49\00:14:56.89
His feet won't touch the ground.
If he's out in the desert, I
00:14:56.93\00:14:59.59
think his feet are touching the
ground. Or in the inner rooms.
00:14:59.63\00:15:01.56
Right? So the Bible says don't
even get curious about these
00:15:01.60\00:15:06.97
crazy things that don't line up
with what the Bible says. Don't
00:15:07.00\00:15:09.97
even go there because if we put
ourselves we're just like asking
00:15:10.01\00:15:13.84
for Satan to tempt us and to
deceive us by even going there.
00:15:13.88\00:15:17.68
We know how He's going to come
and we don't want to be deceived
00:15:17.71\00:15:21.42
Right? So don't even get curious
about that. Keep reading the
00:15:21.45\00:15:26.12
Bible and believing exactly what
the Bible says. After warning
00:15:26.15\00:15:30.19
about false prophets and false
christs Jesus gives some more
00:15:30.23\00:15:32.89
warnings to His disciples. This
one's in Matthew 24: 6, 7 and 8.
00:15:32.93\00:15:37.63
And you will hear [of these
following things. Think about if
00:15:37.67\00:15:42.54
you've heard about these things
happening recently.] Wars,
00:15:42.57\00:15:45.51
rumors of wars, see that you're
not troubled for all these
00:15:45.54\00:15:49.51
things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet.
00:15:49.54\00:15:52.85
Have there been a lot of wars
happening, yes, a lot of wars
00:15:52.88\00:15:56.82
are happening and wars that we
might not even know about. Maybe
00:15:56.85\00:16:01.12
we're not having a war right now
where you live, but there are
00:16:01.16\00:16:04.79
wars happening other places.
Not even just wars, but rumors
00:16:04.83\00:16:07.76
of wars, countries threatening
each other about starting a war.
00:16:07.80\00:16:11.27
Right? For nation will
rise against nation and kingdom
00:16:11.30\00:16:14.74
against kingdom and
there will be famines.
00:16:14.77\00:16:17.07
Do you know what a famine is?
When things don't grow well and
00:16:17.11\00:16:19.87
there's not enough food for
people. That's happening in a
00:16:19.91\00:16:22.28
lot of places too. Once again,
maybe not where you live, but
00:16:22.31\00:16:26.08
even in some places in developed
countries grocery stores won't
00:16:26.11\00:16:30.92
be close enough to where people
live and so they're not able to
00:16:30.95\00:16:33.96
get enough food. Or maybe money
is an issue where they don't
00:16:33.99\00:16:36.83
have enough money to get
the food that they need. Right?
00:16:36.86\00:16:40.10
Pestilences. Pestilences are
like diseases and things that
00:16:40.13\00:16:44.43
happen. We know that that's been
happening, you know a lot this
00:16:44.47\00:16:47.17
last year and just in general as
well. And earthquakes in various
00:16:47.20\00:16:52.07
places. Earthquakes are bad
enough because they can destroy
00:16:52.11\00:16:54.08
your home and livelihood but
then afterwards if you survive
00:16:54.11\00:16:56.78
the earthquake, it can be really
difficult as well and those are
00:16:56.81\00:17:01.35
happening in places as
well. These things could make us
00:17:01.38\00:17:04.89
really fearful but God says, I'm
with you and that means that I'm
00:17:04.92\00:17:09.16
coming soon. Wow! It also talks
about the signs of Jesus' coming
00:17:09.19\00:17:15.06
in Luke. Luke chapter 21. Let's
go there and see what Dr. Luke
00:17:15.10\00:17:21.27
had to say about the signs
of Jesus' coming. Luke 21 verses
00:17:21.30\00:17:28.48
12 and 13: But before all these
things happen they will lay
00:17:28.51\00:17:35.38
their hands on you and persecute
you and deliver you up to the
00:17:35.42\00:17:38.45
synagogues and prisons and you
will be brought before kings and
00:17:38.49\00:17:41.36
rulers for my name's sake.
[Sounds scary doesn't it? Let's
00:17:41.39\00:17:44.49
keep reading] But it will turn
out for you as an occasion for
00:17:44.53\00:17:49.96
testimony.[This is our chance to
share Jesus] Therefore settle it
00:17:50.00\00:17:53.10
in your hearts not to meditate
beforehand on what you will
00:17:53.13\00:17:55.54
answer for [I love verse 15
here] I will give you a mouth
00:17:55.57\00:18:00.84
and wisdom which all your
adversaries will not be able to
00:18:00.88\00:18:04.71
contradict or resist. You will
feel betrayed even by parents,
00:18:04.75\00:18:09.88
brothers, relatives and friends
and they will put some of you
00:18:09.92\00:18:12.45
to death and you will be hated
by all for my name's sake. But
00:18:12.49\00:18:17.46
not a hair of your head shall be
lost. By your patience possess
00:18:17.49\00:18:23.53
your souls.
00:18:23.57\00:18:26.00
Wow! Sounds kind of scary
doesn't it? Miss Michelle wants
00:18:26.03\00:18:29.00
you to remember a couple of
things. God promises to be with
00:18:29.04\00:18:31.77
you, doesn't He? And it does say
that even some people may die.
00:18:31.81\00:18:35.08
Didn't it. It said that right
there. But what's the next thing
00:18:35.11\00:18:39.55
that they're going to see after
they die? Jesus's face coming in
00:18:39.58\00:18:43.65
the clouds of glory. That's the
next thing that they're going to
00:18:43.69\00:18:46.96
see. And that doesn't make death
seem as scary does it. Wow!
00:18:46.99\00:18:52.16
And Jesus promises that He's
going to put those things in our
00:18:52.19\00:18:56.77
mouth that we need to say and
that He's going to be with us
00:18:56.80\00:18:59.53
and that He has our best end in
mind. He knows what's going to
00:18:59.57\00:19:03.97
happen in the end and He can't
wait to take us to heaven with
00:19:04.01\00:19:06.84
him. Now hundreds of years
before Jesus was born He had
00:19:06.88\00:19:10.85
told His prophet Joel some signs
that would happen before His
00:19:10.88\00:19:14.45
coming and it says those in the
Old Testament and it also says
00:19:14.48\00:19:19.85
those in the New Testament.
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations.
00:19:19.89\00:19:24.43
Let's see if I can find the book
of Joel. Daniel, Hosea, Joel,
00:19:24.46\00:19:28.43
there we go. Joel 2 verse 31 and
feel free to pause the video if
00:19:28.46\00:19:34.10
you can pause it to find it too
if you want or write it down to
00:19:34.14\00:19:37.17
check it out later.
Joel 2 verse 31 says:
00:19:37.21\00:19:39.77
[The signs] The sun shall be
turned into darkness, the moon
00:19:39.81\00:19:43.11
to blood before the coming of
the great and awesome day of the
00:19:43.14\00:19:45.91
Lord.
00:19:45.95\00:19:47.52
Wow! Let's see if those things
happened. Jesus said they were
00:19:47.55\00:19:51.45
going to again in Matthew 24
when He was talking about all
00:19:51.49\00:19:54.72
the signs of His coming.
Matthew 24 verse 29 says:
00:19:54.76\00:19:59.09
Immediately after the
tribulation of those days
00:19:59.13\00:20:01.66
the sun will be darkened and the
moon will not give its light.
00:20:01.70\00:20:04.30
The stars will fall from heaven
and the powers of heaven will be
00:20:04.33\00:20:08.50
shaken.
00:20:08.54\00:20:10.17
Have these things happened, Miss
Michelle? Well nearly 2000 years
00:20:10.21\00:20:13.68
since Jesus has told these signs
have passed and yes three of
00:20:13.71\00:20:19.28
these have already happened. The
first one that's talked about is
00:20:19.31\00:20:25.89
darkness. Right? That it
would be dark, a dark day. This
00:20:25.92\00:20:31.16
happened actually in May
19, 1780. Check it out in your
00:20:31.19\00:20:35.20
history book or google it.
Right? It was a bright and sunny
00:20:35.23\00:20:38.30
day when it dawned but about
noon it became dark and it was
00:20:38.33\00:20:42.40
dark for the rest of the
day. Everybody was confused. The
00:20:42.44\00:20:45.97
school kids went home. The
animals went back to the barn
because they thought it
00:20:46.01\00:20:48.71
was bedtime, but it wasn't.
And when night actually fell the
00:20:48.74\00:20:53.95
second sign happened. When
the night actually fell the full
00:20:53.98\00:20:58.59
moon rose and it wasn't a bright
white light like we normally see
00:20:58.62\00:21:02.62
Right? It was red just like
the sign had said in Joel and
00:21:02.66\00:21:08.13
Matthew. And the third sign
happened on November 13, 1833
00:21:08.16\00:21:13.03
And that's when the stars fell.
People looked out at the night
00:21:13.07\00:21:15.94
sky here in the U.S. and they
watched thousands of falling
00:21:15.97\00:21:18.67
stars. Folks these signs are
happening all around us and some
00:21:18.71\00:21:22.68
of them have already happened.
Wickedness is increasing and the
00:21:22.71\00:21:26.28
hearts of many are becoming
either colder towards God or
00:21:26.31\00:21:29.78
warmer towards God. There's not
going to be a fence at the end
00:21:29.82\00:21:32.32
everybody. You're going to have
choose a side. Jesus' side or
00:21:32.35\00:21:36.42
Satan's side and that's what
it boils down to. Jesus told his
00:21:36.46\00:21:39.53
disciples many things about the
future. Like to leave Jerusalem
00:21:39.56\00:21:42.70
before it was destroyed. And
even after Jesus died people had
00:21:42.73\00:21:46.07
the chance to choose his kingdom
The people who chose his kingdom
00:21:46.10\00:21:50.01
were called Christians and
just as the Bible had predicted,
00:21:50.04\00:21:53.17
Jesus had predicted, they were
persecuted. Some of them were
00:21:53.21\00:21:56.18
killed but God also protected
many of them as well. And the
00:21:56.21\00:22:00.58
people who were killed, their
stories went out and their blood
00:22:00.62\00:22:05.52
was seed to many people and many
people grew up as Christians
00:22:05.55\00:22:08.62
because of the testimony because
of the people who were willing
00:22:08.66\00:22:11.83
to give up their lives for God.
The next thing they see is Jesus
00:22:11.86\00:22:15.20
Right? About 40 years
after Jesus died, the Roman army
00:22:15.23\00:22:19.40
surrounded Jerusalem just as He
had said would happen. And there
00:22:19.43\00:22:22.84
was a sign. You can check it out
in Luke 21:20 and Matthew 24:
00:22:22.87\00:22:26.71
16-20. I'm going to tell it
to you real quick though. The
00:22:26.74\00:22:30.55
Romans were surrounding the city
and nobody was going to get out,
00:22:30.58\00:22:33.11
not even the Christians.
And definitely the nonchristians
00:22:33.15\00:22:35.62
weren't going to let the
Christians out. The Roman army
00:22:35.65\00:22:38.09
started to leave and the people
from the city, from Jerusalem,
00:22:38.12\00:22:40.89
started chasing the Romans.
And that was the sign. The
00:22:40.92\00:22:43.56
Christians slipped away quietly.
The Romans came back and
00:22:43.59\00:22:46.93
destroyed all the city of
Jerusalem and everyone in it but
00:22:46.96\00:22:50.17
not one Christian died. God
is with us and He is going to
00:22:50.20\00:22:53.90
always be with His children.
He loves you so much. He doesn't
00:22:53.94\00:22:57.01
want you to worry about the end
of the world. He wants you to be
00:22:57.04\00:22:59.14
excited for it because it means
the beginning of eternal life
00:22:59.17\00:23:01.94
with Him.

Thanks Auntie Ruthie. Great job
coloring. Now find a place you
00:26:11.67\00:26:16.27
walk around your yard or in your
house and hide them or place
00:26:16.30\00:26:20.18
them and have another person
in your family go find them. And
00:26:20.21\00:26:23.78
you can tell them all about
the signs you colored. Have fun.
