00:03 - Welcome, everyone. 00:05 We're excited to share some Country Wisdom with you. 00:07 - King Solomon had a thing or two to say 00:09 about the path to wisdom. 00:11 In Proverbs 4, he wrote, 00:13 "Let your eyes look directly forward 00:16 and your gaze be straight before you. 00:19 Keep straight the path of your feet 00:21 and all your ways will be sure." 00:23 - Join us now for Country Wisdom. 00:25 (gentle music) 00:34 - I am so glad we talked the guys into letting us sneak 00:37 over here to the zoo part. 00:39 - Yes. 00:41 - Folks, we're at the Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky. 00:43 And I'm here with one of our crew members, Morgan. 00:47 There's a reason I brought her along with me today. 00:50 Right now, I see a sheep. 00:52 I've seen cows, goats, a donkey, 00:56 I even think way over there. 00:57 - Yeah. 00:59 - And here right in front of me, my favorite. 01:01 I fell in love with pigs when I was a little girl. 01:05 Never could talk my family into letting me have one. 01:08 - And now I proceed to make her jealous 01:10 and to tell her I have two. 01:12 - You've acquired another one. 01:13 I knew you had one. 01:16 I thought it was so appropriate 01:18 that with a last name like Zufelt. 01:20 - Yes. 01:21 - You have a zoo. 01:23 - Pretty much, yes. 01:24 - At your house. 01:25 Not in the house, but your property. 01:26 - Though feels like it sometimes. 01:28 - How many animals do you have at the moment? 01:31 - So the last count that we did, it was 127. 01:35 We downsized to about 90 to 97 now. 01:39 - You downsized to only 97. 01:42 - About, yes. 01:44 - And I'll bet, if I showed up with number 98, 01:46 your mom would not turn it down. 01:48 - Probably not. 01:49 - [Janice] In fact, the majority 01:51 of the animals you have are rescues. 01:53 I know you've got a blind horse. 01:55 - Yes. 01:56 And he wasn't blind when we got him, 01:58 but he ended up going blind because of his breed, 02:00 which has a history. 02:02 Nine out of 10 Appaloosas will go blind. 02:05 - And you've got 14 dogs? 02:08 - 14 Dogs. 02:10 - One of them, I know you found on a camping trip. 02:13 - Yes, and he is our little black chihuahua 02:16 who my mom never thought she would own. 02:20 - Well, I'm all in favor people not owning chihuahuas. 02:24 But there's a reason I brought you here. 02:26 I know it's appropriate to have Morgan Zufelt at a zoo, 02:31 but your family who takes in all these animals, 97, 02:38 how many varieties? 02:40 - A whole bunch. 02:41 We've got horses, we've got a goat, two pigs, 02:45 dogs, cats, regular birds. 02:48 We've got chickens and peacocks and pigeons. 02:52 And we used to have ducks, 02:53 but unfortunately, they're all gone now. 02:55 - Do you charge admission? 02:57 - No. 02:58 We should. - You should. 02:59 You should 03:00 You could probably pay for some of that feeding 03:01 by letting people come in just like here and let them. 03:07 But your family who has a history of rescuing animals 03:11 and you are continuing that proud tradition, 03:15 they rescue two-legged varieties as well. 03:18 - Yes, and I just happen to be one of them. 03:20 - Yes. 03:21 And you know, you've got a great story 03:22 and I think maybe we should go back 03:24 and join the rest of the crew. 03:26 Find a nice, comfortable place to sit 03:28 because I wanna hear your backstory. 03:30 - Yeah, and I'm sure Jim wants to sit down 03:32 for a little bit too. 03:33 - All right, let's go. 03:34 (gentle music) 03:38 (gentle music) 03:44 - So glad you guys joined me here. 03:46 (Janice and Morgan laughing) 03:47 I'm excited about it. 03:48 And before we go on, I know you've been talking, 03:50 but I wanted to just tell everybody how happy I am 03:54 that you had a school work project so you could join us. 03:56 Isn't that rich? 03:57 You've done a great job. 03:58 - Oh, I was thrilled when I first said, 03:59 "So what are you doing in September?" 04:02 I was so happy not only that she could take the time, 04:05 but extra happy that it's not just a complete sacrifice 04:09 on her part. 04:10 She's getting this credit. 04:12 She's getting her senior project. 04:13 And how cool a senior project is this? 04:15 She gets to work with us. 04:16 (all laughing) 04:18 - Well, it is cool that I get to work with you, guys. 04:20 Just because I've known you forever 04:22 and you yelled at me during our eighth grade graduation. 04:25 And I wanted to get to know a little bit more about Jim. 04:28 And so it's killing three birds with one stone 04:32 instead of two. (laughs) 04:33 - Whoever her school teacher is, 04:35 you should be watching this. 04:36 She's doing a wonderful job. 04:37 She's got our total approval. 04:39 - Well, it's multiple school school teachers 04:41 'cause I have seven periods. 04:42 - Now, how long have I known you? 04:46 How old were you? - Since I was three. 04:48 - Three years old. 04:49 This adorable little girl. 04:52 Tammy and Wayne bring this adorable little girl 04:55 and her brother into church. 04:57 And it's like, well, 04:58 where did this instant family come from? 05:02 Your family, I just am in awe. 05:05 They have adopted six kids. 05:08 - Six of us, yeah. 05:09 - And you and your brother, Robert were? 05:12 - We were the first ones they adopted. 05:13 - The first two. 05:16 Do you mind? 05:17 I know that I hinted over there when we were at the zoo, 05:19 I hinted that you have an incredible story. 05:22 Partly because I think that my personal story 05:25 is way more vanilla. 05:27 You know? 05:28 It's like, I don't have anything exciting. 05:30 You have a backstory very different from mine. 05:33 How did your life begin? 05:35 How'd it start off? 05:36 - So when I was about three is when I came into foster care. 05:40 And that was because my mom 05:42 constantly abandoned me and my brother. 05:44 And I always say that my mom wasn't really my abuser 05:49 when it comes to physicality abuse 05:52 because it was my brother. 05:54 He was autistic. 05:56 He still is autistic, I should say. 05:58 And couldn't control his anger. 05:59 And normally, I was the closest thing that he could hit. 06:02 So when I got abused, it was from him, not my mom. 06:06 I was just abandoned so she could go out and drink. 06:09 - I was gonna say she had to have had some issues. 06:12 - Yes. 06:13 Her boyfriends were constantly drinking. 06:16 She was constantly drinking and she smoked 06:20 and it just did not work well. 06:22 She needed to go out and get money or she'll get money 06:26 from her boyfriends and then go out and drink 06:28 and just leave Robert and me there. 06:30 We also had dogs and our house wasn't very clean. 06:33 We constantly stepped in dog poop. 06:37 We didn't have clean water. 06:39 It was just a mess. 06:41 And so somebody had eventually called CPS, I think. 06:45 I wanna say it was my preschool, 06:47 but I'm not particularly sure. 06:49 Just because I went to preschool every day. 06:50 And so we ended up packing up in the middle of the night 06:54 with what little clothes we had and came to Yreka 06:59 and came into my mom and dad's home. 07:03 - So Wayne and Tammy were your first foster family? 07:06 - They were the only foster family I had actually. 07:09 We'd been with them for about a year and a half. 07:12 And then my mom got her act together 07:14 and was able to get us back for a couple of months. 07:17 When she met somebody new and started declining again. 07:20 And so that we went back to my mom and dad. 07:24 - Now, some people would say, 07:25 "Boy, what a lucky little girl you were." 07:28 Especially if they've ever met Wayne and Tammy. 07:30 I mean, that would be a lovely family to fall into, 07:35 but I don't think it was just luck. 07:38 - Oh, when I was little, I didn't know God. 07:44 Well, I did think it was just luck 07:46 that I had this amazing family to go to. 07:49 And I had foster siblings come in and out, 07:51 but as I got to know God more and the older I got, 07:56 the more I understood that he put me there a purpose. 08:00 It wasn't just some stroke of luck 08:02 that I got to be in this family. 08:06 There was a reason that I was going to be there 08:09 and impact not only their lives, 08:12 but they were gonna impact mine in such a major way 08:15 that I'm still just completely in shock of. 08:18 'Cause when you guys met me, I was this shy, 08:23 didn't wanna talk, 08:25 would hide behind the closest adult that I trusted. 08:28 - You didn't wanna talk? 08:29 (all laughing) 08:31 - It's not the same. 08:32 - I honestly don't remember that phase. 08:35 - Well that's because I went to SDA. 08:38 - That's when I started. 08:39 - They started you in a Christian school. 08:41 - Right. 08:42 For the first two years, I was in public school 08:44 and I did meet some friends, 08:47 but I didn't have a lot of them. 08:49 And there's only one of them that I've actually 08:52 kept close in contact to and that's Cody Harrison. 08:56 And so when I went to SDA is when I started doing plays 08:59 and that got me a lot more out of my shell. 09:02 - And that is actually where I took even more notice of you. 09:06 I mean, I'd always thought you were adorable at church. 09:10 I always made sure to say hi or something 09:12 and just thought you were precious and very precocious. 09:16 Which you can see in her still. 09:19 But I, being your drama teacher got to work with you 09:24 and know you a whole lot better then. 09:26 And you just always were a leader, which I appreciated. 09:32 In fact, I used to joke that by the time 09:35 you were in about seventh grade, 09:37 she just took it on herself 09:38 in the assumption she was the assistant director. 09:41 (Jim and Morgan laughing) 09:43 - This is true. 09:44 I would help direct people on where to go 09:46 or tell them to be quiet. (laughs) 09:48 - And I always saw in you a spirit 09:53 that it was very easy to love. 09:57 Coming from your background though, 09:58 you wouldn't expect that you'd have that spirit. 10:03 Do you think it was God that was that little spark in you? 10:08 - I do. 10:09 So my parents would always tease me 10:11 that I can get overly sensitive, 10:13 but I think that overly sensitiveness is something 10:16 that God gave me so I can empathize with people more, 10:19 especially coming from my background. 10:21 And I've got friends that have gone in and out of the system 10:25 or have grown up out of the system. 10:29 And sometimes, they come and look at me and say, 10:31 "What am I gonna do?" 10:33 And I understand their questions 10:37 and I understand their way of thinking 10:39 just because I have been in that situation. 10:41 And I had God be the person that put me in a situation 10:47 where I could have a loving home. 10:49 A lot of the times, these kids don't get 10:51 that forever home like I got. 10:53 And some of them are, "Oh, it's just bad luck. 10:56 I just wasn't good enough for these people." 10:58 It wasn't that you weren't good enough. 11:00 It was just that that was not where God wanted you to be. 11:03 - I had a text-- 11:04 - So you think it's made you more empathetic? 11:05 - It's made me a lot more empathetic to those around me. 11:08 - I had a text knowing you a little bit 11:10 that I wanted to read to you. 11:10 And you tell me if it fits. 11:12 Found in Isaiah 55:6. 11:16 "Seek the Lord while he may be found. 11:18 Call upon him while he is near. 11:20 Let the wicked forsake their way, 11:21 the unrighteous man his thoughts 11:23 and let him return to our Lord, 11:26 that he may have compassion on him 11:28 and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 11:31 For my thoughts are not thoughts against you, 11:34 they're for you." 11:37 And that's certainly the way God has been to you, isn't it? 11:40 - Exactly. 11:42 And there are times when I have fallen away from God, 11:44 especially as I became a teenager 11:46 and I started going to a mainstream high school. 11:49 And I didn't have the best influences 11:52 because I was the only one from our school who went there. 11:57 And there was a Christian club. 11:59 Unfortunately, Mr. Friedenberg retired 12:01 and that club's no more, 12:04 but I'm gonna try and start it up again before I leave. 12:08 - I told you she was the leader type here. 12:14 - That was part of my grounding point. 12:16 And before I got my smartphone, I had a flip phone. 12:20 So I would bring my Bible with me to school every day. 12:22 But come sophomore year, that kinda stopped 12:26 because I had my smartphone 12:27 and that's when social media came in 12:29 and I kinda took a really bad downfall 12:33 and I'm not gonna go too much into detail. 12:34 - I'm sorry, I cannot let the bugs. 12:36 - Jan's scared to death of the bugs. 12:38 (Morgan laughing) 12:39 - Yes, I do know. 12:40 - It was an act of love to save you from it. 12:43 - Hey Janice, how are you doing? 12:45 - Hey, you wrote another book. 12:47 - I did. 12:48 Had a burden on my heart and God helped me get it done. 12:51 - So, "The Plan of Love." 12:53 What's it about? 12:55 - Well, it's really about God and eternity. 12:57 Saw everything that was going to happen here. 13:00 And his amazing love, He says, 13:02 "I'm gonna take care of the problems. 13:04 I'm gonna take care of the situation by giving my own life." 13:07 He did all that. 13:09 But we've been lied to so much, 13:10 we don't see what God has planned for us, 13:13 what God is doing for us. 13:15 Matter of fact, the angel came down to Mary and said, 13:18 "You shall call his name Jesus 13:20 for he shall save his people from their sins." 13:22 Notice it wasn't in, but from. 13:25 - Where can people get the book? 13:26 - Hey, I'm glad you asked. 13:27 Folks, if you'd like your own personal copy, 13:30 log on to talkingdonkeyinternational.org. 13:33 And oh please, if you would, send us a donation of $12. 13:36 - Or more. - Or more. 13:37 And we'll get you the book and I'll be happy 13:39 to sign it for you too. 13:40 Thank you so much. 13:44 - Scientists tell us that humans 13:46 have four basic needs for survival. 13:49 Food, water, air, and shelter. 13:53 But beyond mere survival, 13:55 we also need to know someone cares about us. 13:59 And there is someone who cares. 14:01 Someone who is always there. 14:04 This little tract, "Someone Cares About You" 14:07 is full of Bible verses that will help you know 14:10 just how much God cares for you. 14:13 It's absolutely free. 14:15 Just go to talkingdonkeyinternational.org 14:18 and request offer number 123. 14:21 Someone cares about you. 14:26 - So yes. 14:29 And then when COVID hit, 14:30 that's just kind of when I had my aha moment. 14:33 I'd been baptized when I was in seventh grade, I wanna say. 14:38 And when I got baptized, 14:40 I'm like, I'm giving myself to the Lord before high school. 14:44 And when high school came, 14:48 I kind of pushed God to the side. 14:50 And we've talked a lot about that 14:52 with the different interviews we've done 14:54 while we've been here, 14:55 how it's so easy to put God aside and be human, be sinful. 15:01 Well, when this virus shut everything down, 15:05 I had my phone taken away and all I had were my Bible, 15:10 my regular books and then my journaling. 15:13 And so my birthday, my 16th birthday, 15:17 I got a bunch of journals and pencils. 15:20 And a book on how to properly write different genres 15:24 and different stories. 15:26 And so I started writing about four teenagers 15:32 who just turn their lives over to the Lord. 15:35 And it's a Seventh Day Adventist book. 15:37 So it's kind of biased in that way. 15:39 But it's for anyone who wants to learn 15:43 how to become a Christian who's a teenager 15:44 or struggling teenagers who don't really know 15:48 how to find those answers. 15:50 And so four of those characters that I had done, 15:53 I had based them off of some of the deadly sins. 15:56 Greed, vanity and envy. 15:58 And then the main character is joy. 16:01 And at the beginning of the book, she's not very joyful. 16:03 She had just lost her father. 16:05 Her stepfather was very cruel to her. 16:08 And then she goes to high school 16:10 and meets these four other teenagers. 16:12 And they all end up in detention together. 16:15 And she is in their detentions in the library. 16:18 She's bored. 16:20 Doesn't wanna talk to these people. 16:22 They're the reason she got into detention. 16:24 Is she goes and looks around, well she finds a Bible. 16:28 And she starts reading the Bible. 16:31 And vanity, his character name is Vincent. 16:35 His family is Seventh Day Adventist Christians. 16:38 And so when she learns this, 16:39 she starts going to their Bible study group. 16:42 And she eventually gets all three of these other teenagers 16:46 to start going with her. 16:48 And they end up turning their lives over to the Lord 16:50 and getting baptized at the end of the book. 16:52 - What gave you that direction and that idea? 16:55 I mean, you've got know a fair amount of scripture 16:58 to kind of grab a hold of all that too. 17:00 - I did. 17:01 And there is quite a bit of scripture that I used 17:03 as they're talking in the Bible studies. 17:06 And a lot of them point out to the seven deadly sins. 17:09 So like, I don't remember exactly the scripture, 17:12 but it's when God's says 17:16 you can't love God and you can't love money 17:19 at the same time. 17:20 You either hate God and love money 17:22 or you hate money and love God. 17:23 And that portrays to everything and that impacted greed. 17:28 And then when it talks about not being jealous 17:32 and coveting those in the 10 Commandments, 17:35 that impacts envy. 17:37 And then talking about how with sin, 17:40 nothing's gonna last forever. 17:42 And all the beauty we see around you, like in the winter, 17:46 you see barren trees, but in springtime, 17:48 that's when it becomes beautiful again. 17:50 Everything goes through a season and that impacts vanity. 17:54 And then there's a point where Joy gets impacted 17:58 and realizes she can't keep holding onto the anger 18:01 of her dad being gone. 18:02 She can't keep holding onto the resentment of her stepfather 18:06 and her mother that she's felt for over a year. 18:09 And her parents end up actually 18:11 becoming Christians themselves. 18:13 - Is there some of what you were writing, 18:16 is that some of your backstory here in real life? 18:18 - Some of it is my backstory. 18:20 Whenever I saw my mom, 18:22 I kind of resented her when I was younger, 18:26 that she'd given me up. 18:28 I felt like she'd just given up 18:29 ever trying to have a relationship. 18:31 But as I grew more in my relationship with God, 18:34 I realized my resentment was pointless. 18:39 There was no need to resent her because she was doing 18:42 what she thought was best for me, 18:43 just like God is always doing what he knows is best for us. 18:48 - That's a very mature thought. 18:51 - It is, it really is. 18:52 - I need to remember that sometime. 18:54 - We ought to probably mention for our audience, 18:56 a lot of the noise around here, 18:57 we are at the Creation Museum. 18:58 You've got your hat on. 18:59 - Yes. (laughs) 19:01 - And for our audience, there it is. 19:04 We had Morgan who stepped in this summer 19:08 and spent a whole day with us. 19:10 She worked out so well that when this trip got planned, 19:13 that's why I thought of her again. 19:16 Because she just blended in with the crew, was helpful, 19:19 quick learner, unlike me. 19:22 (Morgan laughing) 19:23 You mentioned something about reading more, 19:28 turning to your Bible more during COVID. 19:31 Now when I was a teenager, frankly, 19:34 I think the most important thing I had to worry about 19:37 was whether Sid was going to ask me out this Saturday night 19:42 (Morgan laughing) or something like that. 19:44 I didn't have this world-changing, 19:48 literally, world-changing event. 19:51 The world was not nearly as frightening when I was 17 19:55 as it is now. 19:57 I don't honestly know if I would've had the faith then 20:03 to hang on, let alone have my faith deepen. 20:07 Why do you think you turned to the source, 20:11 the right source, the place to take your fears 20:14 when so many people have run the other direction? 20:17 And are turning to alcohol drugs part, whatever, 20:21 to take their mind off things 20:23 that are happening in the world. 20:24 So they don't have to think about issues. 20:27 And you turned more to God. 20:29 - Well, with this event happening 20:32 and in Sabbath School, 20:33 we had been learning about how the end times 20:36 are coming closer and closer. 20:38 And that was one of the last topics that we talked about 20:40 in my Fellowship of Young Christian Minors group on Fridays. 20:45 And it was something about how God predicted all of this. 20:51 He said that there was gonna be fires. 20:53 There was gonna be droughts. 20:54 There was gonna be a disease 20:57 that was gonna wipe out so many people. 21:00 And remembering that verse kinda caught my attention. 21:04 It's like, as if when COVID hit, God's like, 21:08 "Okay, I need your attention now." 21:11 Like this is him telling the world it's going to happen 21:14 and it's going to happen soon. 21:16 You don't know when, but you now know it's gonna be soon. 21:19 And those who are reading their Bible are understanding that 21:23 much more in so many more ways. 21:27 The only social media I have now is Facebook. 21:30 And I see people saying that Facebook's gonna take down 21:33 the pictures of the cross. 21:34 But if you share it enough, they might not. 21:38 And so I share those pictures 21:39 and one day I was scrolling through it 21:42 and I found that verse where God is saying, 21:45 the fires in Australia were gonna happen. 21:49 The droughts in California were gonna happen. 21:52 This entire disease I knew was going to happen. 21:56 And it's turning Satan's vocal point 22:01 for especially young minds. 22:03 It's turning their point to, 22:06 oh, somebody knew this was gonna happen. 22:09 And if you look at that and you see that, 22:13 you understand, yeah. 22:15 - It is very comforting to know 22:16 that no matter how chaotic things seem, 22:19 that God has you covered. 22:22 - Exactly. 22:24 That's why I named my book 22:26 that I was telling you about earlier, "For a Purpose." 22:30 Everything that is happening, 22:31 whether God really wants it to happen or not. 22:34 I mean, we all know he didn't want the sin to happen. 22:37 He didn't want to sacrifice his only son to save us all. 22:41 He wanted us to just be in the garden of Eden 22:44 with him forever. 22:45 But he knew that if we were forced to do that, 22:50 we see him as a God who needs to be feared 22:52 and not a God who wants to be loved. 22:55 Who wants us to choose to love him instead of letting us 22:59 be lost forever. 23:02 - Now, Morgan, you're to me, a young lady beyond your years. 23:07 (all laughing) 23:08 - Always has been. 23:09 If you had known her back in second grade, 23:12 you could just tell back then. 23:14 - Now, we've only got a couple minutes or so left here, 23:17 but there's a lot of probably 17, 18, 20-year-olds 23:21 and younger, vice versa, that need-- 23:24 - Are never going to listen to old people like us. 23:27 - What would you tell them? 23:27 - So this is your chance? 23:29 What do you say? 23:30 You're in a public school system. 23:32 You must have people that you see every day 23:35 and you maybe have five minutes to talk with them 23:39 and make them think about, give them a seed of faith. 23:42 - Yeah. 23:44 So some of the friends that I do have in my public school 23:46 are non-Christians, but they do know that I am Christian. 23:50 And sometimes, I've actually had one 23:52 where I've had a deep conversation with 23:55 about why I choose to be a Christian. 23:58 And I guess my main point that I gave him to leave with 24:03 was I'm choosing to follow somebody who I know 24:08 is going to judge me someday 24:12 not just for my works, but for my faith. 24:15 And I know that with God, anything is possible. 24:21 And there is one thing I did see on Facebook that said, 24:24 "I would rather die thinking that there was a God 24:28 and finding out that there isn't one 24:30 than die saying there is no God 24:32 and then finding out there is." 24:34 And that's how I just wanna live. 24:36 I wanna know that there is a God. 24:38 And if I die finding out that there isn't one, 24:41 then that's how I die. 24:43 But if I die not knowing God at all, 24:48 and then just find out that there is one, 24:53 I'm lost and I don't want to be lost. 24:55 I don't wanna be in that situation again, 24:58 where I feel like I've been abandoned. 25:01 And a lot of people, especially teenagers now, 25:04 feel that way. 25:05 And I've had a couple of my friends say 25:08 they have felt abandoned by God, 25:11 which is why they don't believe anymore. 25:13 - I think it's remarkable. 25:16 Usually, you turn to your elders for advice, 25:20 to look to for an example. 25:22 The fact that coming from the background you did, 25:26 an alcoholic mother, abandonment, all of those issues. 25:30 And because you turned to God, 25:32 you've been able to turn that over, 25:34 to get rid of the resentment. 25:36 There is so much that we can learn from you. 25:39 And that's one reason I wanted to talk to you today 25:42 and share your story because frankly, 25:45 you are a model of faith to me. 25:47 And I hope that she's been a model of faith 25:49 to you out there too. 25:52 What's the verse that says, 25:53 a little child, she'll lead them. 25:54 - She'll lead them. 25:56 - I know she doesn't consider herself a little child, 25:58 but she's a good one to follow. 26:01 - Amen. 26:02 Morgan, thank you so much for being with us. 26:03 - No problem. 26:05 And thank you, guys so much for inviting me to be out here. 26:06 I can't wait to spend the next weekend half 26:08 with you guys. (chuckles) 26:09 - Sounds great, thank you. 26:13 Hey Janice, how are you doing? 26:15 - Hey, you wrote another book. 26:16 - I did. 26:18 Had a burden on my heart and God helped me get it done. 26:20 - So, "The Plan of Love." 26:23 What's it about? 26:24 - Well, it's really about God and eternity. 26:27 Saw everything that was going to happen here. 26:29 And his amazing love, He says, 26:32 "I'm gonna take care of the problems. 26:33 I'm gonna take care of the situation by giving my own life." 26:37 He did all that. 26:38 But we've been lied to so much, 26:40 we don't see what God has planned for us, 26:42 what God is doing for us. 26:44 Matter of fact, the angel came down to Mary and said, 26:48 "You shall call his name Jesus 26:49 for he shall save his people from their sins." 26:52 Notice it wasn't in, but from. 26:54 - Where can people get the book? 26:56 - Hey, I'm glad you asked. 26:58 Folks, if you'd like your own personal copy, 27:00 log on to talkingdonkeyinternational.org. 27:02 And oh please, if you would, send us a donation of $12. 27:05 - Or more. - Or more. 27:07 And we'll get you the book and I'll be happy 27:09 to sign it for you too. 27:10 Thank you so much. 27:14 - Scientists tell us that humans 27:15 have four basic needs for survival. 27:18 Food, water, air, and shelter. 27:22 But beyond mere survival, 27:24 we also need to know someone cares about us. 27:28 And there is someone who cares. 27:30 Someone who is always there. 27:33 This little tract, "Someone Cares About You" 27:36 is full of Bible verses that will help you know 27:39 just how much God cares for you. 27:42 It's absolutely free. 27:44 Just go to talkingdonkeyinternational.org 27:47 and request offer number 123. 27:50 Someone cares about you. 27:55 (gentle music) 27:59 - Thank you for watching. 28:01 Join us again for another exciting Country Wisdom. 28:02 - See you next time. 28:04 (gentle music) |
