mountain right up into I saw the

fountain W look out

[Music]

the then NE we can go anywhere with our

imagin

hey you know helmets are really good

careful let's see what else he got me to

wear elbow pants

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

stay tuned berbert will be right back

after these messages

[Music]

if it wasn't scary then you just do

anything you'd get bored but each

Trick's scarier when we first learn so

it gives you a good

[Music]

feel seems like the same tricks but each

Trick's a lot harder cuz you got to

think of a different place to grab your

up there different position so it may

look the same it's a lot harder when

you're up there in the air when you're

trying to when you're trying to learn a

trck you can't be afraid to pull it off

or you never will just got to you got to

go for it if you get hurt try it again

try it again

[Music]

always wear your

P yeah one of the things that really

really important to wearing your pth

that's that's the only thing that's

going to save you you know you can learn

how to fall or everything you got

your that's a big help especially got to

wear your yeah better be safe and

stubborn

[Music]

[Music]

but you

know but I'm still out there skating

there in hospital somewhere that's

speaks for itself

[Music]

see those those are called elbow pads

you know what kind of reminds me of

David cuz he had slingshots that kind of

looks like a slingshot remember David

from the Bible hey let's pretend about

that right now it's a true story from

the Bible here we

go quiet on the set

[Music]

please long ago when a man named Saul

was King over Israel there was a young

Shepherd boy named David David had some

little young David was a good shepherd

for he loved his sheep very much he

protected his sheep and kept them safe

from all harm why if a lion or bear

tried to carry a lamb away David would

charge the lion or bear that'll be 25

cents

please that's not what I meant I meant

that David would attack and fight the

lion or bear so they couldn't hurt the

helpless defenseless cute little

lambs really attack them uh and the Lord

would give you power and courage to

defeat them oh oh I remember

now where was I oh yes Goliath every day

Goliath would stand in front of the army

of Israel and tease and make fun of

them Goliath was like a giant he was

bigger than a lion and stronger than a

bear it'd shout I laugh at the enemy of

Israel give me a man that we may fight

together but all the men of Israel were

scared of Goliath all except David who

is this who dares the mocking left in

the army of the Living God I'll fight

him said David and he took his slingshot

and five smooth stones and walked out

towards the Giant Goliath and David

shouted to Goliath you've got Spears and

shs on your side but we've got God on

our side David slung the stone and hit

Goliath on his forehead and the big

giant Goliath fell to the

[Applause]

ground hey I love stories from the Bible

that was neat how God protected them

yeah sure was oh boy hope I wasn't too

loud the radio and everything my Mom's

taking a nap you know got to be quiet

sometimes

Luella loudmouth as she was called would

forever talk about nothing at all Luella

would blabber with all of her power

about this thing and that almost every

hour why her bablin would keep parents

up at night L yella I tell you was quite

a sight you see lella loudmouth went to

my school and would always be put on the

talks too much

stool most every day our teacher would

say children I know a great game we can

play It's the quiet game sh no one say a

word but you know whose voice would

always be heard po Lou yella Lou yella

Lou yella loud mouth would always lose

and begin to

pound then one day Lou yella

surprisingly chimed I can't talk and

listen the same time when I chatter

while someone is talking it's clear that

I make it hard for others to he oh I

need to I want to I've just got to learn

to stay quiet and listen and wait my

turn where's Luella loud mouth today you

ask well not long ago she left my class

but a new girl came the very next day

who looked like lella in every way her

eyes her nose her light brown hair I

said pardon me please if I stare but

would you could you tell me your name I

could not believe it her name was the

same but she sure didn't act like the

lell I knew who would chatter and holler

and interrupt too nor did she lose the

quiet name in ball and the most amazing

thing of all when she wanted to talk she

would raise her hand what the whole

class could hear the teacher

again lella had learned to listen so

well and learn this secret I'm going to

tell you have lots of friendships that

sparkle and glisten if you just learn

how to be quiet and

listen oh hi comma hi Angela look at
