Jack. 05:29 And he lived in the country out in California. 05:34 California's not like out here, they got mountains, 05:38 they got big... 05:39 Have you ever seen a big mountain before? 05:40 Me, I have. 05:42 You've ever been there? 05:44 Well, you got to see a big mountain 05:45 before you get to my age. 05:47 I mean, they're glorious and beautiful. 05:48 Anyway, he lived out on the country, lots of trees, 05:51 there was a lake not too far from his house, 05:55 they had a little boat that they would roll on... 05:57 You ever been on a rowboat before? 05:59 Was there a little lake? 06:00 There was a little lake, that's right, beautiful lake, 06:02 nice tall green, evergreen trees. 06:05 That means they stay that same color all year long, 06:08 and Jack loved playing outdoors. 06:12 How many of you like playing outdoors? 06:13 I do. 06:15 I tell you, what could you do outdoors? 06:16 You could play in the dirt, when it rains, 06:18 you could jump in the mud, you ever did that before? 06:21 That's a fun thing to do. 06:22 But don't tell mom. 06:24 When it rains, let's jump in the mud together. 06:26 Anyhow Jack's mom said, 06:29 "Jack, it's a nice day, go outside and have fun. 06:33 Remember Dad is at work 06:34 and I have some chores to do in the kitchen, 06:37 and when you go outside, don't go too far." 06:40 What did she say? 06:42 "Don't go too far, 06:44 I want to be able to make sure that you're safe. 06:47 I'm going to want to look out my kitchen window 06:48 and I'll see you playing in the yard. 06:50 Jack, remember, don't go too far." 06:53 Don't what? 06:54 Don't go too far. 06:56 And Jack was so excited about going outside, 06:58 he was lacing up his sneakers kind of like yours, 07:00 and he put on his jacket, it's a little chilly. 07:03 But he was not really listening to what his mom said, 07:06 all he was thinking about was going outside and play. 07:10 You ever think about that? 07:12 Play, do children like to play? 07:14 Uh-huh. Adults like to play too. 07:16 Anyway, Jack is outside in front of the house, 07:19 and he had a little shovel, 07:21 he was digging holes in the ground, 07:23 and he was piling sticks up together, 07:26 and, you know, kids have a great imagination. 07:28 You know what an imagination is? 07:30 You could think of things that adults can't think of. 07:33 You could build houses out of wood and stone, 07:36 and Jack was outside having a whole lot of fun, 07:39 and his mom saw him, and she went to the bedroom, 07:42 and came back, and looked out the window, 07:44 and there was no Jack. 07:47 What do you think happened to him? 07:48 He was gone. 07:52 Jack... 07:53 And she ran out to the porch, she was... 07:55 You ever see your mother when your mother's nervous? 07:57 "Where is my son? Where is my daughter?" 07:59 She said, "Jack? 08:01 Jack? Jack? 08:05 Jack!" 08:07 No Jack. 08:10 Do you think his mother was nervous? 08:12 Yeah. 08:14 Oh yeah, she was kind of afraid, 08:15 "What happened to my..." 08:16 Because it was a huge forest out there 08:18 with tall trees and a mountain, 08:21 a lake not too far away, and animals, lions, 08:26 and tigers, and bears, maybe, not sure. 08:29 But it was a forest, 08:30 and anything could be out there, 08:31 and a little boy named Jack, how could he defend himself? 08:34 So Jack was picking up sticks 08:36 and didn't know where he was going. 08:37 He kept wandering and wandering, 08:39 and all of a sudden, 08:40 he turned around and looked behind him, 08:42 and he couldn't see his house. 08:45 Do you think he was afraid? 08:47 Oh, all of a sudden, 08:48 he was afraid and he remembered the words of his mom, 08:51 "Don't go far away." 08:54 Well, now he was not only afraid, 08:56 but he got upset. 08:58 And he started calling his mom's name, "Mom!" 09:01 All of a sudden, he said, "Mom," 09:04 and he heard, "Mom, mom, mom." 09:09 He said, "Who's that?" 09:11 And he heard, "Who's that? 09:12 Who's that? Who's that?" 09:15 What do you think was happening? 09:16 Echo. 09:18 And he had never heard an echo 09:20 before 'cause he had never been that far 09:21 in the forest by himself, 09:23 his mom and his dad was always with him. 09:27 So he thought somebody was out there mocking him 09:29 and he said, "Stop." 09:30 What do you think he heard? 09:32 "Stop, stop, stop." 09:36 Now all of a sudden, Jack got really angry 09:38 because he felts somebody was making fun of him 09:40 and he said, "Don't do that." 09:42 And what do you think he heard? 09:43 "Don't do that, don't do that, don't do that." 09:49 And he began to run and he began to run, 09:51 he says, "Cut it out." 09:52 And what do you think he heard? 09:54 "Cut it out, cut it out, cut it out." 09:58 You ever heard an echo before? 09:59 Yeah. 10:00 You got to be in a pretty big and empty place for an echo, 10:02 like in a big old parking lot or maybe in a forest. 10:07 But since we don't have forests out here, 10:08 you have to wait to go to California. 10:10 So anyhow, his mom was looking for him, 10:12 and she called his dad, 10:14 and he rushed home, and she said, 10:15 "Something happened to Jack, he's out in the forest." 10:17 And by now Jack was no longer just afraid, 10:21 he was angry 10:23 because somebody was mocking him 10:24 and he said, "Stop it." 10:26 And he then said something he shouldn't have said, 10:28 he said, "Stop it, you are not kind." 10:32 "Kind, kind, kind." 10:35 Your... 10:36 This is the word you should never say, "Stupid." 10:39 And you know what he heard? 10:40 "Stupid, stupid, stupid." 10:45 And all of a sudden, 10:47 he stood still and started crying, 10:49 and he started crying louder, and what do you think he heard? 10:56 And he started running. 10:58 And then all of a sudden, he's looking behind him, 11:00 and he runs into somebody, looks up, 11:02 guess do you know who it was? 11:05 It was his mother. 11:08 Aren't you happy for Jack? 11:09 His mother found him, and he grabbed his mother, 11:11 and he looked up with tears in his eyes, 11:12 "Mommy, I'll never do that again." 11:15 She said, "What happened?" 11:17 He said, "Mommy, 11:18 there's a guy out there that's mocking me, 11:20 everything I says he repeats it." 11:23 She says, "Really?" 11:24 And she started to smile 'cause she knew what it was. 11:27 She said, "What happened, Jack?" 11:28 He said, "When I said hello, he said hello. 11:30 When I said stop it, he said stop it." 11:33 She said, "Really? And what else?" 11:35 And then he said, "He said bad things to me." 11:38 "He did?" 11:39 "Yes, and that really made me upset." 11:41 And she took Jack home, and sat him down, and she said, 11:44 "You know, Jack, you know what happened today? 11:46 First of all, you didn't listen to me. 11:48 And secondly, the reason why you heard bad things 11:53 is because you said bad things." 11:57 Have you ever said anything that you shouldn't have said? 12:02 You don't want to admit it, but that's okay. 12:04 Jack learned a valuable lesson that day. 12:06 And what do you think he learned? 12:07 He learned be careful what you say. 12:12 Say that with me. 12:13 Be careful what you say. Be careful what you say. 12:16 You know why? 12:17 Because what you say 12:19 it's going to echo back to you. 12:21 If you want to hear nice things, 12:22 what do you do? 12:24 You say nice things. 12:25 If you want to hear kind things, 12:27 what do you say? 12:28 You say kind things. 12:29 So, boys and girls, 12:31 one day when you hear your echo, 12:33 make sure you say good things 12:35 'cause good things will always come back, all right? 12:39 Oh, I enjoyed that, Pastor John. 12:41 Me too. 12:43 And, boys and girls, 12:44 I hope you remember to be careful 12:45 what you say too. 12:47 Right now, let's sing our prayer song. 12:50 And, Carter, could you have a prayer for us? 12:53 Okay. 12:55 I will bend my knees 12:58 I will fold my hands 13:01 I will bow my head 13:04 I will close my eyes 13:07 And very, very quiet be 13:11 While the prayer is said 13:14 Dear Jesus, we love You, 13:17 we don't want us to say bad things. 13:19 I love You. 13:21 Amen.
