WELL, ARE EXCITED TO HAVE OUR 09:18 MOM JOIN US TONIGHT. MOM, WHAT WAS IT LIKE WITH FIVE 09:23 KIDS, REALLY, AND REALLY LIV LIVING--WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF 09:29 MONEY. >> WE HAD VERY LITTLE MONEY. 09:31 IT WASN'T A PICNIC, BUT I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. 09:34 I LOVED MY KIDS. I WANTED THEM TO BE WITH ME ALL 09:38 THE TIME. I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE 09:40 DOING, WHERE THEY WERE AT, AND WHO WAS INFLUENCING THEM. 09:45 YOU DON'T REALIZE IT, CHILDREN ARE IMPRESSIBLE JUST WHEN 09:54 THEY'RE LITTLE, AND YOU INFLUENCE THEM WITH WHAT YOU'RE 10:04 DOING. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I 10:06 APPRECIATED WITH MOM AND DAD IS THIS INVOLVED US IN EVERYTHING. 10:13 WHETHER IT WAS CHORES OR WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING. 10:15 BUT WE ALSO HAD FUN TOGETHER. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS 10:18 REALLY SPECIAL FOR ME, AND I KNOW IT WAS SPECIAL TO MY 10:21 SISTERS, TOO, AND MY BROTHERS, WE EACH GOT TO TAKE TURN HAVING 10:27 WORSHIP WE GOT TO BE IN CHARGE, AND WE GOT TO PLAN THE WORSHIP. 10:35 FRIDAY NIGHT WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO HAVE WORSHIP, I WOULD PLAN 10:38 ALL WEEK WHAT I WANTED TO DO. >> AND IT WASN'T JUST FRIDAY-- 10:45 >> THEY'RE SHOWING A PICTURE OF US WHEN WE WERE LITTLE. 10:49 [LAUGHING] >> THERE'S DAD. 10:51 >> AND IN THIS NEXT PICTURE, KENNY IS IN THE NEXT ONE, WE 10:55 HAVE A PICTURE WHERE WE JUST CAME BACK FROM CHURCH, AND WE'RE 10:59 AT OUR GRANDMA'S HOUSE IN WEST FRANKFURT, ILLINOIS BECAUSE OUR 11:06 DAD GREW UP IN WEST FRANKFURT.

WE HAVE A PICTURE HERE THE THREE 11:44 OF US IN WHAT I CALL THE DONKEY DRESSES BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE 11:48 THAT, BUT THAT WAS MATERIAL--MOM MADE THOSE OUTFITS FOR US, AND 11:58 MOM MADE THOSE OUTFITS FOR US. YOU MADE MOST OF OUR CLOSE. 12:06 >> MOST OF THEM. WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO BUY THEM. 12:09 >> I REMEMBER A LONG TIME PEOPLE WOULD GIVE US OLD CURTAINS, AND 12:12 YOU WOULD MAKE US CLOTHES OUT OF CURTAINS. 12:15 >> IT WORKED. >> THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED 12:18 DRESSING ALIKE. YOU CAN SEE HOW WE WERE DRESSED 12:21 ALIKE RIGHT FROM WHEN WE WERE LISTEN. 12:24 BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE MONEY, MOM, YOU MADE CLOTHES WITH 12:28 WHATEVER YOU COULD. RIGHT. 12:30 >> OH, YES. >> I REMEMBER I WISH I WOULD 12:35 HAVE BROUGHT THIS PICTURE, BUT THE THREE OF US GIRLS, MOM HAD 12:39 US SINGING AT THE ILLINOIS CAMP MEETING. 12:42 I WAS ONLY THREE. >> YES, YES. 12:44 >> AND THEY WERE 12 AND 15. >> OH, YEAH, RIGHT. 12:50 [LAUGHING] >> LET'S PUT A COUPLE OF 12:56 PICTURES UP. MOM HAS ALL OF FIVE OF THE KIDS. 13:01 WHY DON'T YOU INTRODUCE THE KIDS TO THE VIEWERS WHO MIGHT NOT 13:05 HAVE SEEN THEM BEFORE. START ON THE LEFT. 13:07 >> YES, THERE IS LINDA, BRENDA, AND THAT WAS MY BABY KEN, AND 13:15 CINDA AND JIM. >> AND WE'RE REALLY ALL LESS 13:19 THAN--TWO YEARS APART. >> ABOUT TWO YEARS. 13:21 >> I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID THAT, MOM. 13:26 I JOKE THAT I'M MUCH YOUNGER, BUT I'M REALLY NOT. 13:29 WE'RE ALL LESS THAN TWO YEARS APART. 13:34 HOW DID YOU DO THAT? >> WE MADE A GAME OF IT. 13:36 WE PLAYED GAMES. WHEN WE MADE THE BED, WE PLAYED 13:44 GAMES. WHEN WE SWEPT THE FLOOR, WE 13:46 PLAYED GAMES. >> I WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT 13:49 PICTURE OF THE FIVE OF US BECAUSE I WANT TO TELL YOU 13:52 SOMETHING ABOUT OUR BROTHERS. OUR BROTHER, KEN, THAT MOM 13:57 TALKED ABOUT FIRST, HE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PICTURE. 14:01 HE'S THE YOUTH DIRECTOR AT THE MICHIGAN CORRESPONDENCE, AND OUR 14:08 BROTHER TIM IS EXECUTIVE SECRETARY FOR THE MICHIGAN 14:11 CONFERENCE, AND THEN MY OFFICERS AND I ARE IN FULL-TIME MINISTRY 14:16 AT 3ABN. AND THEN ONE LAST PICTURE ABOUT 14:22 OUR FAMILY PICTURE, I WANT TO SHOW YOU, THERE WE ARE ALL 14:28 TOGETHER. >> THERE ARE A FEW MISSING. 14:30 >> WE'VE HAD ADDITIONS NOW. >> YES, WE HAVE ADDITIONS. 14:35 >> HOW MANY GRANDKIDS DO YOU HAVE NOW MOM. 14:38 >> HOW MANY GRANDKIDS? >> HOW MANY GRANDKIDS AND THEN 14:42 HOW MANY GREAT GRANDKIDS. >> LET ME SEE,TII HAVE TO COUNT. 14:49 >> DON'T PUT HER ON THE SPOT LIKE THAT. 14:52 >> I HAVE 11 GRANDCHILDREN AND THEN 12 GREAT. 14:55 >> WOW, YOU'RE BLESSED, MOM. YOU KNOW, MOM, ONE OF THE THINGS 14:59 WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, HOW DO YOU RAISE KIDS IN TODAY'S WORLD? 15:05 WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT DID YOU DO DIFFERENT THAT YOU SEE 15:08 KIDS ARE DOING TODAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAY YOU 15:12 RAISED US KIDS, WHAT IS DIFFERENT? 15:17 YOU ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES IS THAT YOU DON'T SPEND 15:22 TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN. YOU GOT TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM. 15:31 THAT'S THROUGH. INSTEAD OF HANDING THEM AN 15:34 IPAD OR PUTTING THEM IN FRONT OF A MOVIE. 15:38 >> OR SENDING THEM OVER TO THE NEIGHBORS. 15:41 THAT'S THE WORST ONE YET. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS A 15:43 BIG DEAL FOR ME, AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY, OH, MY FRIENDS 15:47 ARE DOING IT. BUT MOM NEVER LET US GO FOR A 15:50 SLEEP OVER AT ANYBODY'S HOUSE. >> NO, THAT WAS FORBIDDEN. 15:54 >> WHY DID YOU TELL US? THE REASON WHY WE COULDN'T DO A 15:58 SLEEP OVER. >> WELL, I WANT TO KNOW WHERE 16:00 YOU WERE AND WHAT YOU WERE DOING. 16:02 YOU COULD NOT GO TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S HOUSE AND PLAY ON THE 16:05 BLOCK AS WELL. YOU COULD INVITE THEM TO COME TO 16:07 YOUR HOUSE. >> RIGHT. 16:09 >> AND WHEN I WOULD BE IN THE HOUSE, AND I WOULD LIVE TO YOU 16:13 PLAY. IF I HEARD AS MUCH OF THEM USE 16:15 SOME BAD LANGUAGE OR SOMETHING, I WOULD COME OUT AND SAY TIME 16:18 FOR YOU TO GO HOME NOW. >> I THINK THE NEAT THING, TOO, 16:27 WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO GO OTHER PLACES, BUT EVERYONE WASES 16:30 INVITED TO OUR HOUSE. THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS 16:33 INVITED TO OUR HOUSE. AND MOM AND DAD THEMSELVES 16:36 PLAYED GAMES WITH US. DAD WOULD EVEN ORGANIZE A 16:39 BASEBALL GAME. HE FIGURED THAT WOULD KEEP US 16:42 ALL BUSY, AND MOM WAS IN THE HOUSE COOKING FOR EVERYBODY. 16:46 >> OR I LIKE--THERE WAS A LOT OF TIMES WHEN IT WAS HOT IN THE 16:50 SUMMER, AND DAD WILL THE HOSE AND WAS SQUIRTING EVERYBODY. 16:55 >> OR BIG BUCKETS. >> HE WOULD TRY TO SNEAK AROUND 16:58 WITH THE HOSE. >> YOU KNOW, I LEARNED THAT FROM 17:00 YOU, MOM, BECAUSE WHEN MY KIDS WERE GROWING UP, DID I THE SAME 17:05 THING. I ALWAYS HAD EVERYTHING AT MY 17:08 HOUSE, AND EVEN WHEN MY KIDS WERE IN COLLEGE, THEY WOULD 17:13 BRING 20, 25, 30 C 30 COLLEGE KIDS, AND LITERALLY WE WOULD HAVE KIDS 17:21 ALL OVER THE HOUSE, AND I COOKED, AND I TOLD THEM THEY HAD 17:24 TO HELP ME CLEAN UP, BUT I LEARNED THAT FROM YOU, MOM. 17:28 I WANTED--I WANTED TO KNOW WHO MY KIDS WERE HANGING AROUND 17:32 WITH, AND ALSO, I MEAN, YOU COULD BE A PART OF THEIR LIFE. 17:39 I LEARNED THAT FROM YOU, THANK YOU. 17:41 >> ALSO, THERE WAS A RULE IN OUR HOME, IF IT WASN'T GOING TO 17:44 BRING US CLOSER TO JESUS, IT WASN'T GOING TO BE IN OUR HOME. 17:48 WE DIDN'T HAVE A TELEVISION. DADDY CALLED IT THE DEV 17:56 DEVIL-VISION, KIND OF IRONIC THAT HE HAS THREE GIRLS WHO ARE 17:59 ON IT EVERY DAY. [LAUGHING] 18:01 WE DIDN'T HAVE TELEVISION. THERE WAS ALWAYS RELIGION MUSIC 18:04 IN OUR HOME. THERE WAS ONLY RELIGION BOOKS. 18:07 WE DIDN'T HAVE THE COMIC STRIPS. WE DIDN'T HAVE OUTSIDE 18:11 INFLUENCES. REALLY AND TRULY IF IT WASN'T 18:13 GOING TO BRING US CLOSER TO JESUS IT WASN'T ALLOWED. 18:17 I CAN REMEMBER AS A TEENAGER I WOULD GETTING CREATIVE ABOUT HOW 18:24 I COULD DO SOMETHING AND HOW IT WOULD BRING ME CLOSE FOR JESUS. 18:28 >> I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT IT NEVER BOTHERED ME BECAUSE MOM 18:31 AND DAD ALWAYS PUT AN ELEMENT OF FUN IN EVERYTHING WE DID. 18:37 LIKE I SAID, AS WE SAID EARLIER WHEN WE HAD WORSHIP, THEY PUT AN 18:41 ELEMENT OF FUN IN WORSHIP. SO WE LOOKED FORWARD TO WORSHIP. 18:48 SO EVEN OUR CHORES THAT WE DID AROUND THE HOUSE, MOM ALWAYS HAD 18:51 US DOING THE ALL THE CHORES--I REMEMBER RUNNING DOWN TO SEE THE 18:56 NEW WEEK WHEN SUNDAY MORNING CAME, OH, OH NO, WHAT DID I GET 18:59 THIS WEEK. OH, MAN, I D WANT I WANTED WASHING, 19:07 I DIDN'T WANT DRYING. >> YOU MADE AN EXCELLENT POINT. 19:09 IF WE WANT TO WIN OUR KIDS TO CHRIST, WE'RE GOING TO PLAY WITH 19:13 THEM, SPEND TIME WITH THEM, AND THEN PRAY WITH THEM. 19:16 AND IF WE'RE JUST PRAYING WITH THEM, AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE 19:19 DOING, WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THEM BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BECOME 19:26 MEANINGLESS FOR THEM. IF WE PLAY WITH THEM AND GIVE 19:29 THEM OUR TIME AND SHOW THAT JESUS LIKES TO HAVE FUN, THEY 19:33 END UP FALLING IN LOVE WITH JESUS. 19:35 >> THAT'S RIGHT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I 19:37 APPRECIATED IN OUR HOME WAS EVERY MORNING--EVERY EVENING WE 19:41 HAD FAMILY WORSHIP. NOW, OUR MORNING DEVOTION WASES 19:49 SHORTER BUT OUR EVENING DEVOTION WAS LONGER. 19:52 EVERYBODY WOULD GET A TURN, AND IT WAS ASSIGNED TO BEING IN 19:55 CHARGE OF THE WORSHIP. IN DOING THAT, MOM RAISED--MOM 19:59 AND DAD RAISED FIVE LEADERS. THANK YOU, DAD, I'M NOT LEAVING 20:03 YOU OUT, EITHER BECAUSE IT REALLY DID. 20:14 WE WOULD LOOK AT THE BIBLE TAGS AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE BIBLE 20:18 AND ON THE TAGS. MOM WAS SUNDAY SCHOOLTEACHER, 20:27 AND SHE WOULD PAINFULLY MAKE THESE TEACHING AIDS LIKE 20:35 REMEMBER POLY, AND SHE HAD A DIFFERENT DRESS EVERY DAY FOR 20:38 POLY. NOW ON MONDAY POLY GOT TO PLAY 20:42 OUTSIDE AND SHE WOULD HAVE A DRESS FOR PLAY. 20:45 BUT WHEN IT WAS FRIDAY, POLLY WOULD MAKE SURE THAT SHE HAD HER 20:53 SABBATH DRESS ALL READY. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? 20:55 >> I DO. >> AND DO YOU REMEMBER THE TATER 20:57 FAMILY. >> I STILL HAVE THAT. 20:59 >> YOU DO? >> YOU'RE THE ONE WHO INHERITED 21:03 THAT? >> I DID. 21:07 [LAUGHING] >> IF YOU WANT TO USE IT YOU 21:08 HAVE TO COME OVER. >> AND WHAT IS CRITICALLY 21:10 IMPORTANT, TOO, IS MORNING DEVOTION. 21:13 EVERY SINGLE DAY. YOU KNOW, IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT 21:15 APPOINTMENT WE MIGHT BE LATE TO. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF WE WERE LATE 21:19 TO THE DENTIST, DOCTOR, SCHOOL, WHATEVER WE WERE LATE TO, MOM 21:22 AND DAD MADE SURE THAT WE KNEW THAT GOD WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT 21:26 PART OF OUR LIVES, AND NOTHING WAS GOING TO INTE INTERFERE WITH OUR 21:31 APPOINTMENT WITH GOD. THAT REALLY IS KEY, WOULDN'T YOU 21:34 SAY, MOM? IN REALLY SETTING THE STANDARD 21:37 IN YOUR HOME. YOU WANTED A CHRIST-CENTERED 21:42 HOME TO SET CHRIST FIRST. >> I REMEMBER THAT YOU AND DADDY 21:46 ALWAYS TOLD US THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT YOU NEED TO ASK JESUS 21:49 INTO YOUR HEART BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOING TO COME IN UNLESS YOU ASK 21:53 HIM. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 21:54 >> I KNOW WITH LINDA AND I WITH TINY TOTS, WE SAID THAT MULTIPLE 22:01 TIMES ON THE PROGRAM, THAT WE WANTED THE TINY TOTS TO INVITE 22:06 JESUS INTO THEIR HEARTS. THAT WAS FROM YOU AND DADDY. 22:08 IT WASES JUST--IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU DO EVERY SINGLE DAY. 22:12 >> AND YOU CARRY THAT OVER WITH OUR OWN CHILDREN AS WELL. 22:16 >> EXACTLY. YOU KNOW, MORNING DEVOTIONS WITH 22:21 OUR CHILDREN AND I SEE MY GRANDKIDS HAVE THEIR MORNING 22:25 DEVOTIONS NOW. >> YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS HAD 22:28 MORNING DEVOTIONS WITH DAVID AND KATIE, AND WHEN THEY GOT OLD 22:32 ENOUGH TO READ, I HAVE THIS--THE BOOK WHERE DAILY DEVOTIONS EVERY 22:38 DAY OF THE YEAR, AND SO THEN I WOULD SAY, OKAY, WHOSE TURN IS 22:43 IT TO READ THE DEVOTION? WELL, IT DIDN'T MATTER IF IT WAS DAVID 22:51 DAVIDOR KATIE, BUT I NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES THEY WOULD START READING 22:55 SOMETHING, AND IT WOULD GO, DO YOU PESTER YOUR BROTHER OR YOUR 23:01 SISTER? AND IT WAS LIKE DAVID WAS UPSET 23:03 WITH KATIE, HE WOULD SWEAT TO SEE IF HE COULD FIND SOMETHING 23:09 ABOUT LITTLE BRO SISTERS TAKING THEIR BROTHER'S TOYS. 23:15 I WOULD SAY IS THAT TODAY'S OH WORSHIP THEY WOULD GO, OH, BUT 23:20 MOMMY, IT'S A REALLY GOOD ONE. I WOULD SAY, UM, I THINK THAT'S 23:26 NOT THE ONE FOR TODAY. >> YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK WE 23:28 HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT. I HAVE JUST WRITTEN A DEVOTIONAL 23:41 BOOK THAT GOES ON SALE NEXT MONTH, AUGUST 15TH. 23:45 YOU CAN START ORDERING. IT IT'S CALLED MOMENTS WITH GOD. 23:49 AND THEY'RE JUST ONE-MINUTE DEVOTIONS TO ENCOURAGE AND 23:53 INSPIRE YOU AND REALLY JUST CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 23:55 THAT'S WHY I PUT THAT ON THE BOOK COVER. 23:59 THE REALLY COOL THING THAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS DEVOTIONAL BOOK, 24:04 IT HAS JANUARY 1 ALL THE WAY THROUGH ALL THE DAYS THROUGH 24:11 DECEMBER. YOU CAN READ IT, BUT YOU ALSO 24:12 HAVE AN OPTION. THERE IS AN INDEX. 24:15 THERE IS AN OPTION, LET'S SAY YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH 24:20 DISCOURAGEMENT. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DEVOTIONS ON 24:24 DISCOURAGEMENT. SO YOU CAN PICK THE DEVOTION 24:27 THAT MEETS YOUR NEEDS THAT DAY. THERE IS A WHOLE WIDE SPECTRUM. 24:31 MAYBE YOU NEED HEALING. MAYBE THERE IS SOMEONE WHO IS A 24:34 THORN IN YOUR SIDE. MAYBE YOU NEED TO FORGIVE 24:38 SOMEONE. WHATEVER THERE IS A NEED, YOU 24:40 CAN GO TO THAT DEVOTION AND WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU NEED. 24:43 LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE DO IN DEVOTION, YOU CAN START AT 24:48 JANUARY 1ST AND READ IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. 24:50 >> I THINK I'M GOING TO GET ONE FOR DAVID AND KATIE JUST FOR 25:01 REMEMBRANCE SAKE AND SAY, YOU CAN SKIP AHEAD ALL YOU WANT. 25:04 >> I'VE S SEEN BRENDA'S NEW BOOK, AND IT IS INCREDIBLE. 25:12 IT IS AN INCREDIBLE BOOK. I DO LIKE THAT FACT THAT YOU 25:16 CAN, IF YOU'RE FEELING DISCOURAGED OR IF YOU'RE 25:19 NEEDING, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT IS MISSING IN YOUR LIFE, I 25:22 DO LIKE THAT FACT THAT YOU CAN GO AND DO THAT. 25:26 >> WELL, I'VE BEEN WRITING A DAILY DEVOTION ON FACEBOOK NOW 25:30 FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS. I HAVEN'T MISSED A DAY IN SIX 25:33 YEARS. AND IT'S JUST ONE-MINUTE 25:37 DEVOTION SIMILAR TO WHAT I HAVE IN THE BOOK. 25:40 >> WHAT ABOUT YOUR APP? FOR THE PHONE. 25:47 I USE THAT EVERY MORNING. >> I HAVE AN DEVOTIONAL APP. 25:51 YOU CAN JUST GO TO YOUR APP STORE, AND TYPE IN BRENDA WALSH. 25:55 AND IT IS A FREE DOWNLOAD, AND YOU CAN ASK FOR CLARIFICATION, 26:01 AND THERE IS A DIFFERENT DEVOTION FOR EVERY SINGLE DAY. 26:04 AND THERE IS AN AUDIO FEATURE ON THE',I ACTUALLY READ EVERY 26:09 DEVOTION. AND YOU CAN PUSH A BUTTON AND 26:12 I'LL READ IT TO YOU, OR YOU CAN READ IT YOURSELF. 26:16 YOU CAN TOUCH THE SCRIPTURE, AND IT WILL HAVE ALL THE SCRIPTURES 26:19 THAT I USED FOR THAT DEVOTION, AND YOU CAN FIND IT RIGHT THERE. 26:23 >> YOU KNOW WHAT IS SO RIGHT, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT 26:26 ARE SO DIFFERENT THAN WHEN WE GREW UP. 26:30 WHAT IS NICE WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF THIS STUFF WHEN WE WERE 26:33 GROWING UP. THAT IS NICE TO HAVE THESE TOOLS 26:35 BECAUSE WE'RE IN SUCH A BUSY WORLD, THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE 26:39 DON'T HAVE THE TIME LIKE MOM AND DAD DID WITH US KIDS COMING UP 26:46 WITH OUR OWN WORSHIPS AND PLANNING WORSHIPS OUT. 26:49 WHERE THAT IS REALLY NICE WHERE YOU HAVE THESE TOOLS THAT YOU 26:52 CAN GET AND HAVE WORSHIP EASY. LIKE WITHIN, LIKE YOU SAID, 26:58 THEY'RE ONE-MINUTE WORSHIP. >> WE THINK ITS EASY BECAUSE WE 27:01 GREW UP THAT WAY. A LOT OF TIMES I TRAVEL AND 27:03 SPEAK IN CHURCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD. 27:05 PEOPLE WILL COME UP AND TELL ME, I DON'T HAVE THE WORSHIP TIME 27:09 WITH MY KIDS, AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW. 27:12 MY KIDS THINK IT IS BORING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, THEY'RE 27:15 NOT REALLY LISTENING. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE 27:18 EXCITED TO KNOW THAT CINDA JUST FINISHED--I FORGET HOW MANY, BUT 27:25 QUITE A FEW WORSHIP PROGRAMS, LITTLE MINI WORSHIP PROGRAMS SO 27:32 YOU CAN HAVE WORSHIP WITH MISS CINDA. 27:36 TELL US WHAT THAT IS LIKE. THAT'S A LOT OF WORK WITH ALL 27:40 THE TINY TOTS. MY HEART GOES OUT WITH LINDA AND 27:43 CINDA FOR ALL THAT YOU DO WITH THE TINY TOTS. 27:47 IT'S A LOT MOVER CHALLENGING. IF I ASKED AN OLDER CHILD TO 27:50 STAND AND HOLD A MICROPHONE, THEY DO. 27:53 BUT WITH YOU GUYS, THEY HAVE THE LITTLE MICROPHONES ON THE 28:01 DIAPERS, AND IF THEY WANT T TO TODDLE OFF, THEY DO. 28:08 >> THIS IS 15 MINUTES OF WORSHIP, AND YOU CAN DO MORE 247 28:12 WE HAD FIVE MINUTES ON THE REGULAR TINY TO THE PROGRAM. 28:15 AND IT IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM. 28:17 >> OH, OH, THANKS, SIS. >> TELL US WHAT IT WAS LIKE, 28:21 TELL US THE FORMAT AND WHAT IT'S ABOUT. 28:24 >> I PRAYED AND PRAYED ABOUT IT, AND THE APPROACH THAT I WANTED 28:27 WAS I WANTED SOMETHING THAT NOT ONLY PARENTS, IF THEY DIDN'T 28:31 HAVE TIME TO HAVE WORSHIP WITH THEIR LITTLE CHILDREN, THEY 28:36 COULD PUT THIS DVD IN, AND THE KIDS COULD SIT AND HAVE WORSHIP. 28:40 BUT I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE PARENTS AN IDEA IF THEY WANTED 28:44 TO HAVE THEIR OWN WORSHIP WITH THEIR KIDS. 28:46 AND SO ON THE PROGRAM YOU'RE GOING TO SEE--I ALWAYS HAD KIDS 28:52 HAVE SOME TYPE OF MUSIC. AND SO--BECAUSE I WANTED--AND 28:57 AGAIN, WE GOT THAT FROM MOM AND DAD. 28:59 >> RIGHT. >> I STARTED SINGING WITH--I WAS 29:02 THREE, AND YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS WERE FIVE AND SEVEN. 29:07 >> WELL, SINGING IS WORSHIP. >> RIGHT, YOU WERE PLAYING THE 29:13 PIANO BACK THEN. YOU WEREN'T GREAT, BUT YOU WERE 29:16 GOOD. BACK AT FIVE SHE WASN'T GREAT. 29:19 >> I DIDN'T START THE PIANO UNTIL I WAS EIGHT. 29:24 >> OH, WELL, YOU WERE PLUNKIN' IT AT FIVE. 29:31 [LAUGHING] >> YOU'LL SEE COME KIDS LEARNING 29:33 THEIR INSTRUMENTS. I'LL BE SAYING 29:37 ♪ JESUS LOVES ME ♪ YOU KNOW, I SAID THAT'S OKAY, I 29:42 WANT THAT. THEN WE HAD A SEVEN OR EI 29:46 EIGHT-YEAR-OLD BOY BEN. >> HE'S A GRANDSON OF OUR 29:56 COSTUME DIRECTOR. >> HE WAS SO GOOD. 30:00 AND HE--YOU'RE GOING TO SEE KIDS WHO ARE NOT AS GOOD, WHO ARE 30:04 JUST LEARNING, AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO SEE BEN, WHO PLAYS 30:09 WELL. I WOULD ASK HIM A SONG, AND HE 30:11 WOULD START JUST PLAYING IT. I WOULD SAY, BEN, CAN YOU DO A 30:16 RUN FOR US? DA-DA-DA. 30:25 AND THEN HE WOULD SAY, LIKE THIS? 30:27 AND THEN HE WOULD DO IT. AND THEN THE LOVE--THEY LOVE 30:32 STORIES WITH TINY TOTS. I DID A STORY. 30:35 I INVITED GUESTS TO COME IN AND TELL STORIES. 30:38 I MEAN, WE HAD DANNY AND MOLLY AND C.A. MURRAY, AND THEN WE HAD 30:46 A LADY FROM BRAZIL, IRENE. SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE TAPING 30:58 IN T SPANISH, AND I SAID, IDALIA DINZEY, SHE SAID, IRENE IS 31:11 AWESOME. IRENE JUST SAID, SURE, I'LL COME 31:14 OVER. AND JUST LIKE THAT. 31:15 SHE CAME OVER AND DID STORIES. AND KIDS JUST SIT THERE AND 31:19 LISTEN. SO WE HAVE A STORY, AND WE 31:21 ALWAYS END IN PRAYER. >> I GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU. 31:23 WE HAVE A LITTLE VIDEO ROLL THAT WE CAN GIVE EVERYONE AN IDEA. 31:27 >> OH, YES. >> LET'S TAKE A LOOK. 31:31 >> AND WELCOME TO OUR TINY TO TOTS WORSHIP. 31:40 >> IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE PIGEONS HAVE A GPS. 31:44 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PIDGEON WITH A GPS? 31:50 HE'S FLYING AROUND, AND HE'S TRYING TO GET HOME. 31:55 [SINGING] >> MIGRATE JUICE IS RUINED, AND 32:08 NOW I'M REALLY THIRSTY. I TOOK MY LONG LENGTH LEGS, AND 32:14 I RAN TO THE WATER FOUNTAIN YELLING I NEED WATER, GET OUT OF 32:20 MY WAY. [SINGING] 32:41 [SINGING] >> WOW, THAT WAS AMAZING. 32:53 >> WE HAD A LOT OF FUN. >> I THINK MY MAIN POINT, TOO, 32:57 IS TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN. 33:03 JUST LIKE YOU SAID, PEOPLE DON'T SPEND ENOUGH TIME WITH THEIR 33:08 KIDS. YOU SHE IS THE BEST AUNT AND HER 33:23 HUSBAND IS THE BEST UNCLE YOU COULD EVER WANT EVER. 33:27 YESTERDAY SHE WAS TAKING MY GRANDKIDS OUT ON THE LAKE 33:32 CUBING, SKIING, WAKE BOARDING AND I THINK WE HAVE A PICTURE 33:36 FOR THEM RIGHT NOW. >> WELL, I HAVE A RULE, WHEN THE 33:39 KIDS ARE WITH ME, THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE ON THEIR PHONES OR 33:54 DEVICES. I WANT THEM TO BE WITH ME. 33:57 >> THERE IS JULIAN IN THE LEFT, MEGAN IN THE MIDDLE. 34:01 JASON, AND MY OLDEST GRANDSON, WHO IS ALMOST 16, HE'S ON THE 34:05 RIGHT, MICHAEL. >> I KNOW WHEN I HAD--I'LL BE IN 34:09 THE CAR WITH THEM, THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE ON ANY DEVICE. 34:13 THEY HAVE TO TALK TO ME. >> AND THEY ACCEPT THAT. 34:15 >> THEY LOVE THAT. AND JUST RECENTLY I HAD--I 34:20 PICKED UP THE BOYS, AND JASON IS IN THE BACKSEAT, AND MICHAEL IS 34:24 IN THE FRONT WITH ME, AND JACOB WASN'T TALKING, AND SO I LOOKED 34:31 IN MY MIRROR AND I SAW JASON PUT HIS HEAD DOWN, AND I SAID JASON? 34:36 AND HE SAID, OH, YEAH, WE TALK. [LAUGHING] 34:40 IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE SPENDING TIME WITH OUR KIDS, 34:44 THAT WE TALK WITH THEM. AND THAT'S HOW WE LET THEM KNOW 34:47 THAT WE LOVE THEM. AND THAT THEY'RE--THAT WE 34:52 CHERISH THAT TIME WITH THEM. MOM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I 34:55 LOVE ABOUT GROWING UP WITH YOU IS THAT WE KNEW WE COULD COME TO 35:04 YOU AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT ANYBODY. 35:06 YOU DIDN'T EVER SAY YOU WERE TOO BUSY, AND YOU WOULD PRAY WITH 35:10 US. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU LOOK 35:13 BACK OVER RAISING FIVE KIDS, WHAT MEMORIES STAND OUT IN YOUR 35:18 MIND THAT YOU THINK ABOUT SPIRITUALLY? 35:23 >> WELL, PROBABLY MAYBE GOING WITH YOUR DAD TO VISIT PEOPLE. 35:40 YOU WOULD TAKE BREAD THAT I HAD MADE, TAKE IT TO THE NEIGHBORS 35:44 AND SING FOR THEM. >> OR YOU WOULD MAKE OUR OWN 35:48 LITTLE LOAVES OF BREAD, TIE THEM UP WITH A LITTLE BOW, AND WE 35:52 WOULD HAVE LITERATURE THAT WE COULD PUT ON THERE FOR THEM. 35:57 >> YOU LOVED TO WITNESS. >> YOU TAUGHT US THAT WHEN WE 36:00 WERE IN CHURCH WE WERE TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE WHO WAS SITTING 36:03 BY THEMSELVES. IF THAT PERSON WAS OVER HERE OR 36:05 THERE, WE WOULD TELL YOU, THERE IS SOMEBODY THERE. 36:07 MOM WOULD SAY, FIVE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM OVER FOR DINNER. 36:11 WE LEARNED TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE. 36:14 YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WHY WE'RE ALSO PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT NOW, 36:20 EVANGELISM AND THINGS. OUR BROTHER, KEN, HE'S THE YOUTH 36:25 DIRECTOR, AS WE SAID, AND HE DOES AN AMAZING JOB. 36:28 HE PLAYS WITH THE CAMPERS. HE SWIMS WITH THEM. 36:33 HE COMMUTES WITH THEM. HE GOES HORSEBACK RIDING. 36:37 ALL THESE THINGS WITH THEM. AND HE LOVES HIS STAFF. 36:40 JUST LAST WEEK I WAS WITH HIM UP AT CAMP. 36:43 AND ONE OF HIS HORSE BARN STAFF LOST--IT WAS JUST A FEW DAYS 36:58 AGO. THIS BOY WAS AN INCREDIBLE 37:00 WITNESS FOR GOD. HE LOVED JESUS WITH ALL HIS 37:05 HEART. AND HE WOULD ENCOURAGE HIS 37:09 WORKERS, IF THEY WERE DOWN, HE WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM. 37:11 HE ALSO WENT TO GREAT LAKES ACADEMY AND HE WOULD COME INTO 37:14 THE DORM AND SAY CAN I HELP YOU WITH ANYTHING? 37:17 I CAN REMEMBER ONE TIME HE SAID, THE GIRLS SAY THERE IS A NOISE 37:20 IN THE PIPE. HE WENT UPSTAIRS TO FIX IT, 37:25 PULLED IT APART, AND DUST WENT ALL OVER HIM, AND HE SWEPT IT 37:30 UP. HE WAS SO CARING AND KIND. 37:33 >> YOU KNOW WHAT THAT TELLS ME? HE HAD A GOOD MOM AND DAD. 37:38 >> GEORGE AND--THEY TRAINED US. THEY SPENT TIME WITH THEM. 37:48 THEY PLAYED WITH THEM. THEY ALWAYS HAD WORSHIP 37:54 TOGETHER. THEY ALWAYS PRAYED BEFORE THEY 37:57 ATE. THEY PUT JESUS FIRST IN 38:00 EVERYTHING. AND GEORGE LOVED JESUS 38:03 PASSIONATELY. I MEAN, HE--WHEN HE PASSED AWAY 38:08 HIS MOTHER SAID THIS, I WAS TALKING TO HER JUST THIS WEEK, 38:11 AND THE MEMORIAL WILL BE SUNDAY. AND SHE SAID, GEORGE KNEW JESUS. 38:22 MY GEORGE KNEW JESUS. AND HE'LL BE JESUS' BOY. 38:24 SHE SAID, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HIM AGAIN. 38:27 SHE SAID IT WITH CONFIDENCE AND FAITH AND HIS FATHER DID AS 38:33 WELL. THEY KNOW THEY'LL SEE GEORGE 38:36 AGAIN, THAT HE LOVES JESUS. WHEN WE TRAIN OUR CHILDREN TO 38:40 LOVE. >> MOM, JUST LIKE YOU AND DADDY 39:04 KNOW JESUS. JESUS IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. 39:05 IN ORDER TO BE A GOOD PARENT AND TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN. 39:26 >> YOU NEED TO--YOU WOULD SAY, LORD, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT ME TO 39:40 DO. AND HE'LL IMPRESS UPON US. 39:42 MOM, YOU'VE SPENT MANY OF NIGHTS ON YOUR KNEES IN PRAYER. 39:49 >> LIKE I SAID, IT'S GOOD EXAMPLE. 39:55 YOU TEACH BY WATCHING WHAT YOU DO. 39:57 SISTERS, DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO GO TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE, 40:00 AND WE WANTED TO BE EVANGELISTS, AND WE WERE GOING TO EVANGELIZE 40:05 THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> WE WERE GOING TO SAVE THEM 40:08 ALL. >> WE WOULD KNOCK ON A STRANGE 40:13 DOOR, AND ALL OF GRANDMA'S NEIGHBORS, HERE IN FRANKFORT, WE 40:19 WOULD INTRODUCE OURSELVES AND WE WOULD SAY, DO YOU KNOW JESUS? 40:23 WE WOULD LIKE TO SING A SONG FOR YOU. 40:25 AND WE WOULD STAND ON THE CHURCH AND SING, AND THEN WE WOULD SAY 40:29 IF YOU WOULD LIKE WE'LL COME IN AND TELL YOU MORE. 40:32 >> AND THEN CINDA WOULD SAY, I HAVE A BIBLE VERSE FOR YOU. 40:36 >> WE WERE TRYING TO PUT INTO PRACTICE EVERYTHING THAT WE 40:40 LEARNED. IT BECAME FUN. 40:41 WE WOULD COME OUT AND SAY WE BETTER COME TO THAT HOUSE. 40:44 >> I REMEMBER ONE HOUSE, AND I'M SURE YOU DO, TOO. 40:48 THE LADY SAT THERE AND SHE WAS CHEWING TOBACCO. 40:52 AND SHE HAD ALL THESE TOBACCO CANS ALL OVER THE HOUSE. 40:56 ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE LEANED BACK AND SPIT-- 41:02 >> NOT REALLY, SOMETIMES SHE HIT THE CANDY DISH. 41:06 >> WE WOULD LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND LINDA WOULD GO, OH, LET'S 41:11 SING. [LAUGHING] 41:21 >> WE WOULD LOOK AROUND AND SAY, SHOULD WE SING? 41:36 >> WE WOULD GO TO A HOUSE THAT WAS RIGHT BY A BUS STOP. 41:39 WE WOULD LOAD UP WITH LITERA LITERATURE, AND WHEN PEOPLE 41:43 WOULD GET ON AND OFF THE BUS WE WOULD SING TO THEM AND HAND OUT 41:47 LITERATURE. >> THAT'S ALL BECAUSE, MOM, YOU 41:49 AND DAD ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR EVANGELISM. 41:52 ALWAYS. >> INTRODUCING US TO JESUS AND 42:08 THEN FOLLOWING IN LOVE WITH JESUS OURSELVES, IT WASN'T WHAT 42:11 MOM AND DAD HAD, IT BECAME HOURS. 42:14 >> AND IN THE BIBLE IT TELLS US THAT A CHILD WILL LEAD THEM. 42:28 I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS I'VE 42:31 RECEIVED OVER THE YEARS. GOING ON 16 YEARS NOW, AND I'M 42:36 AMAZED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL START OFF TELLING ME, I WAS JUST 42:39 FLIPPING THROUGH CHANNELS, I NEVER WOULD HAVE STOPPED FOR A 42:43 SERMON, BUT I SAW THE SWEET LITTLE KIDS SINGING, AND IT 42:47 SUCKED ME RIGHT IN. THEY WOULD START WATCHING AND 42:50 THEN THEY STARTED WATCHING OTHER THINGS ON 3 BN, AND THEN BIBLE 42:55 TRUTHS, AND I'VE HEARD IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND A LITTLE 43:00 CHILD WILL LEAD THEM. CHILDREN ARE NOT TOO YOUNG TO 43:03 LEARN ABOUT EVANGELIZING AND WITNESSING FOR JESUS. 43:06 THAT'S WHY ON KIDS TIME I HAVE A WHOLE SEGMENT FOR SHARING JESUS. 43:12 I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT KIDS LEARN IT'S, FIRST OF ALL, 43:18 WHO JESUS IS. THAT'S THE MESSAGE ON TINY TOTS. 43:21 BASICALLY TO TELL-- >> WHO IS JESUS, AND THAT HE 43:25 LOVES THEM. THAT'S WHAT WE PRAYED ABOUT, AND 43:28 THAT'S WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US. >> YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW 43:31 MANY KIDS DON'T KNOW WHO JESUS IS. 43:34 WE'VE GOTTEN PEOPLE, LITTLE KIDS WHO WILL SAY, EXCUSE ME, 43:41 MS. CINDA OR AUNTIE LINDA? ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE JESUS ON 43:48 THE PROGRAM BECAUSE HE SAWED HE'S MY FRIEND, AND HE SOUNDS 43:51 REALLY NICE. >> I'VE GOTTEN LETTERS LIKE 43:54 THAT, WILL YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS JESUS? 43:56 >> THAT'S RIGHT, HE SUNDAYS HE SOUNDS REALLY KIND. 44:02 >> THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHO JESUS IS. 44:05 IT'S FOREIGN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT IT'S REAL. 44:07 >> AND LIKE YOU WERE SAYING LIVE BY EXAMPLE. 44:10 THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE PARENTS WHO 44:12 TAKE THEM TO CHURCH, THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHO JESUS IS BECAUSE 44:16 THEY DON'T SEE A GOOD PICTURE OF JESUS IN THEIR PARENTS. 44:22 >> LIVING EVERY DAY, LIVING EVERY MOMENT. 44:25 >> I THINK SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU DID FOR US THAT WAS REALLY 44:28 IMPORTANT, IT'S LIKE YOU DIDN'T TAKE US FOR CHURCH, BRING US 44:31 BACK, AND THEN GO TO BAD. YOU AND MOM WOULD SAY, I'M GOING 44:35 TO TAKE A NAP. NO, WE HAD AN ORGANIZED 44:38 AFTERNOON OF VISITING A LOT OF PEOPLE, SICK PEOPLE. 44:42 DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE SANG TO MR. ANDRECA? 44:49 >> OH, YES. >> AND I CAN MY HEART BEING 44:51 TOUCHED SINGING TO HIM. AND SO I THINK ITS IMPORTANT, 44:55 AND TO DO THINGS WITH YOUR CHILDREN, WHETHER IT'S NATURE OR 44:58 VISITING PEOPLE OR WHATEVER. >> ONE THING THAT I LOVED, AND 45:07 I'M SURE MY SISTERS WOULD AGREE, BUT I LOVED MOM, WHEN WE WOULD 45:10 GET DONE WITH OUR ACTIVITIES, IT WASN'T A M NAP, WE WERE OUT 45:19 WORKING FOR JESUS. WHEN WE CAME BACK HOME, WE WOULD 45:23 CRAWL UP AND READ. I FOUND A BOOK ONLINE--LINDA HAS 45:37 THE ORIGINAL. >> I HAVE THE ORIGINAL. 45:38 >> I FOUND ONE ONLINE, AND I JUST--I LOVE THAT BOOK. 45:43 BUT WHAT I REALLY LOVED, MOM, WAS THAT YOU WERE SERIOUSLY 45:47 FEEDING YOUR CHILDREN. AND WE LAPPED IT UP. 45:51 EVEN THOUGH WE COULD READ, WE STILL WHEN WE WERE-- 45:55 >> NOBODY READS LIKE MAMA. >> NO, YOU WOULD PUT EXPRESSION 45:59 IN YOUR VOICE, AND YOU MADE THE STORIES FUN. 46:02 >> WE WERE RIGHT THERE TRAMPING THROUGH THE JUNGLE, AND SAVING 46:09 PEOPLE. [LAUGHING] 46:12 >> AND YOU WOULD STOP JUST AT THE EXCITING POINT, AND WE WOULD 46:19 SAY, NO, DON'T STOP READING, BUT YOU WOULD SAY ITS TIME FOR 46:24 SUPPER. BUT I WOULD LOVE SUNDAYS. 46:27 >> I WOULD, TOO. IT WAS MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE 46:29 WEEK. I WOULD SAY EVERY WEEK, HOW DO 46:32 PEOPLE DO IT IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE SABBATH IN YOUR LIVES. 46:36 WHEN SABBATH COMES, IT'S JUST--THIS PEACE COMES OVER YOU, 46:40 AND IT'S JUST--AND SOMETHING AGAIN THAT WE LEARNED FROM MOM, 46:45 AND THE BEST FOOD WAS ON SABBATH. 46:49 >> YEAH, WE HAD DESSERT ON SABBATH. 46:52 [LAUGHING] >> I'M A SWEET TOOTH, AND WE HAD 46:55 DESSERT ON SABBATH. >> ALWAYS THE BEST FOOD WAS 46:59 ON--WE COULDN'T WAIT FOR SABBATH DINNER. 47:02 >> AND OUR BEST DISHES. >> YES. 47:05 >> AND SABBATH WAS SPECIAL. MOM, WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT 47:08 YOU CAN REMEMBER ABOUT MAKING SABBATH SPECIAL? 47:19 I KNOW THE COOKING. >> WE WOULD HAVE PEOPLE OVER AND 47:23 VISITING. >> THERE WERE A LOT OF POTLUCKS 47:31 THAT WE WOULD HAVE AT CHURCH. >> YOUR DAD WAS A PASTER FOR 55 47:36 YEARS. AND USUALLY THE LAST PEOPLE TO 47:38 LEAVE THE CHURCH, AND IF THERE WAS ANYBODY THERE THAT DIDN'T 47:41 HAVE A PRAISE TO GO, COME TO OUR HOUSE. 47:45 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> WE NEVER KNEW WHO WOULD BE 47:47 COMING. A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE WOULD COME 47:54 TO OUR HOUSE A. >> I WOULD REMEMBER PEOPLE WOULD 48:09 COME OVER AND WE WOULD WATER DOWN THE SOUP AND WE WOULD HAVE 48:13 ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY. [LAUGHING] 48:19 >> AND ALSO THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT EVANGELISM AND FRIENDSHIP 48:24 EVANGELISM. REALLY THE BEST WAY TO BRING 48:30 SOMEONE TO JESUS IS TO LOVE THEM TO JESUS. 48:32 YOU'RE NOT REALLY GOING TO GET ANYWHERE TELLING THEM ALL THE 48:35 THINGS THEY'RE DOING WRONG. THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE THEM AWAY. 48:39 THAT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT'S JOB. I HEARD A PASTOR SAY ONCE, YOU 48:43 KNOW, WHEN GOD CALLS US TO BE FISHER OF MEN. 48:46 HE DIDN'T SAY GO CLEAN THE FISH. >> YOU CATCH THEM, I'LL CLEAN 48:50 THEM. >> IT'S GOD'S JOB TO DO THAT. 48:51 HE JUST WANTS TO LOVE THEM. >> HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD YOU 49:00 ATTRACT WITH A POUTY FACE. >> I REMEMBER DAD, IF YOU LOVE 49:06 JESUS, KNOW IT BY YOUR FACE. >> DADDY, WE LOVE YOU. 49:10 THAT'S STILL WHAT WE'RE TELLING PEOPLE TODAY. 49:17 >> I LOVED THE SABBATH. WE DIDN'T SIT THERE AND GO, 53 49:24 MORE MINUTES, IT'S 53 MORE MINUTES UNTIL SUNDAY DOWN. 49:28 WE WOULD BE HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME. 49:39 THEN AFTER WE WOULD POP POPCORN AND DADDY WOULD PLAY GAMES. 49:44 WE LOVE POPCORN TO THIS DAY. >> WE ALL DO. 49:47 AND YOU CAN PROBABLY GUAR GUARANTEE--ALMOST GUARANTEE THAT 49:52 MY CAR ALWAYS HAD A HUGE BIG BUCKET. 49:56 >> IT DOES, I ALWAYS LOOK FOR IT. 50:01 [LAUGHTER] >> I THINK THAT WE'RE REALLY 50:06 TALKING ABOUT IS REALLY JUST LOVING PEOPLE. 50:14 >> YOU KNOW THAT'S BIBLICAL, THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO INVITE 50:17 PEOPLE INTO OUR HOMES. THAT'S WHAT WE ALL DO. 50:20 BECAUSE WE SAW MOM AND DAD DOING THAT. 50:27 >> THAT'S HOW WE GOT ALL THE AUNTS AND UNCLES. 50:30 >> YEAH, WE HAVE LOTS OF AUNTS AND UNCLES. 50:33 THEY MAY NOT BE RELATED. >> BECAUSE THEY STAYED IN OUR 50:36 FAMILY. THEY WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR US. 50:38 >> AND THEY WERE STILL OUR AUNTS AND UNCLES TODAY. 50:43 >> YEP. >> THAT'S TRUE. 50:47 I THINK THE MORE WE CAN DO OURSELVES TO INSTILL THE LOVE OF 50:52 OTHERS. JESUS SAYS WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE 50:53 IN HEAVEN IF WE CAN'T LOVE OUR ENEMIES MORE THAN OURSELVES. 50:57 >> AND THINKING ABOUT HOW JESUS GAVE US AUNTS AND UNCLES. 51:01 WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AUNT, AUNT MYRTLE. 51:06 WE JUST WANT TO SAY WE LOVE YOU. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO 51:10 SPENDING ETERNITY WITH YOU. >> AMEN, AMEN. 51:12 >> SHE'S WATCHING TONIGHT. >> YES, SHE IS. 51:15 >> YOU KNOW, I THINK ABOUT ALL THE MANY PEOPLE THAT GOD BRINGS 51:21 INTO OUR PATH EVERY SINGLE DAY IF WE ASK FOR DIVINE 51:26 APPOINTMENT. HE'S GOING TO BRING THOSE PEOPLE 51:28 IN OUR LIVES THAT WE CAN BE WITNESS TO. 51:33 THE OTHER DAY I WAS IN KNOXVILLE. 51:35 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM CHATTANOOGA. 51:42 AND I WALKED INTO MARSHALL'S DEPARTMENT STORE. 51:45 I WAS LOOKING FOR A MORE COMFORTABLE PAIR OF SHOES TO 51:51 SPEAK IN. I THOUGHT I WOULD RUN IN AND 51:54 FIND A MORE COMFORTABLE PAIR OF SHOES. 51:55 I RAN INTO A WOMAN IN THE SHOE DEPARTMENT. 51:58 SHE SAID, I NEVER CAN FIND ANYTHING TO WEAR. 52:02 SHE SAID SHE LOVED SHOES AND I SAID I LOVE SHOES, TOO. 52:06 WE GOT TO WITNESS WITH EACH OTHER AND SPEND TIME WITH EACH 52:10 OTHER, AND SHOW SHARED HER HEART WITH ME A AND I WAS ABLE TO 52:16 SHARE JESUS WITH HER. IT TURNED OUT TO BE INCREDIBLE 52:19 APPOINTMENT THAT EVEN SHE SAID, WOW, I CAN'T BRIEF THIS HAPPENED 52:23 TODAY. GOD ORDAINED THIS. 52:24 AND HE DID. I LOVE THOSE DIVINE 52:27 APPOINTMENTS. I REALLY--I THINK THAT IF WE 52:36 PRAY MORE, PUT US IN THE PATH THAT YOU KNOW PEOPLE NEED TO 52:39 KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM. >> AND IT SAYS IN JOHN 13 52:45 TOWARDS THE END OF THE CHAPTER IT SAYS WHEN WE LOVE EACH OTHER 52:48 HE WILL KNOW. THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLE. 52:53 IF WE LOVE PEOPLE GENUINELY LIKE JESUS DOES, WE ARE HIS. 52:57 >> I DON'T WANT TO MISS ONE DIVINE APPOINTMENT. 53:00 I WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY SINGLE APPOINTMENT THAT 53:03 GOD HAS IN STORE. WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW WHAT 53:06 THAT IS IF WE'RE NOT PRAYING ABOUT IT. 53:09 NOT LONG AGO WE SAT NEXT TO A MAN, AND GAVE HIM A BIBLE STUDY 53:13 ALL THE WAY UNTIL WE LANDED IN CHATTANOOGA. 53:20 IT WAS QUITE AWHILE LATER THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE SOME DENTAL WORK 53:25 DONE. HE SAID, BUSTED. 53:33 I DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL YOU THAT I WAS A SEVENTH 53:40 ADVENTIST, BUT I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU KNEW. 53:47 I DID GIVE MY HEART TO JESUS, I WASN'T LYING, BUT IT WAS A LONG 53:51 TIME AGO. [LAUGHING] 53:53 >> I REALLY THINK THAT--REALLY THANK MOM AND DAD FOR INSTILLING 53:58 IN US, AND GIVING US THE ZEAL, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, TO 54:04 SHARE JESUS WITH OTHER PEOPLE. ANOTHER THING TO HAVE PASSION 54:12 FOR JESUS. ANOTHER THING THAT MOM AND DAD 54:14 TAUGHT US, IF THERE SOMEONE THAT YOU DON'T LIKE, THAT IS NOT 54:19 TREATING YOU VERY NICE, PRAY FOR THEM. 54:26 >> IT'S HARD TO BE MAD AT SOMEBODY IF YOU LOVE THEM. 54:29 SAY LORD, GIVE ME LOVE FOR THAT PERSON. 54:35 >> YOU CAN'T BE MAD AT SOMEBODY OR HURT OR HATE SOMEONE IF 54:40 YOU'RE PRAYING FOR THEM. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 54:43 >> INVITE THEM OVER FOR SABBATH LUNCH. 54:51 I HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE, AND LET ME TELL YOU, WE'RE FRIENDS TO 54:55 THIS DAY. I HAVE DONE THAT. 55:01 THAT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS TO BE EXAMPLES AND TO TEACH 55:05 THEIR CHILDREN THAT'S HOW THEY LEARN. 55:09 OTHER WORDS, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LEARN. 55:11 >> WELL, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE'RE ALMOST AT THE END OF OUR 55:15 FIRST HOUR. THAT WENT BY SO QUICKLY. 55:19 >> WOW. AND WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SAY. 55:22 WE DO WANT TO ASK YOU TO E-MAIL US, CALL US, IF YOU HAVE A 55:28 QUESTION OR COMMENT ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT 55:31 BRENDA. [LAUGHING] 55:32 CALL IT IN AND I'LL ANSWER YOU. >> NOW IS THE TIME. 55:36 MOM CAN GIVE THE ANSWER ON ALL THREE OF US. 55:38 >> WE HAVE THE CD OFFER. >> E-MAIL YOUR QUESTIONS AT LIVE 55:51 @3ABN. OR CALL 618-627-4651. 55:58 WE'LL BE TAKING YOUR QUESTIONS IN THE SECOND HOUR HERE. 56:01 WE WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT OUR FREE OFFER, AND WE HAVE FOUR CDS 56:07 OUT, MY SISTERS AND I HAVE BEEN SINGING FOR A LONG TIME. 56:10 THIS ONE HERE IS "SONGS OF HOPE." 56:14 THIS IS OUR VERY FIRST ONE, THIS IS "FAMILY FAVORITES." 56:19 >> AND I I HAVE "HYMNS FROM THE HEART." 56:26 >> AND I HAVE "LEANING ON JESUS." 56:29 EVERY SONG ON HERE IS DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO ARE DISCOURAGED, 56:32 AND REALLY JUST FEEL LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY HOPE. 56:35 THAT'S WHY WHEN WE WERE CHOOSING A SONG FOR THIS CD WE REALLY 56:40 WANTED SOMETHING UPLIFTING WHERE EVERYTHING SONG WOULD LIFT UP 56:44 YOUR HEART. >> THAT WAS TAKEN AT 3ABN WHERE 56:49 WE TAPE "TINY HOUSE." >> THAT'S RIGHT. 56:51 I TOLD THE STORY OF HOW WE SHOT THE COVER OF THIS PARTICULAR CD, 56:57 IN MY BOOK "PASSIONATE PRAYER." THE STORY OF HOW WE EVEN FOUND 57:02 THE PHOTOGRAPHER TO SHOOT THIS IS A MIRACLE. 57:05 >> AND HOW YOU FELL IN THE LAKE. [LAUGHING] 57:08 >> THAT ONE IS NOT BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER FAITH-BUILDING 57:23 STORIES THAT YOU CAN READ. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT 57:29 BREAK. WHEN WE COME BACK WE'LL COVER 57:31 THE NEWS, THAT'S HAPPENING, THE LATEST AND GREATEST THAT IS 57:36 GOING ON WITH OUR CHILD EVANGELISM AROUND THE WORLD, AND 57:40 I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. STAY TUNED, AND WE'LL BE RIGHT 57:44 BACK. |
