Easy Way? or Hard Way? · Adventures: Bible Truths in Action

• 0:04
  Is there a corny dog here? Here.
• 0:08
  So you're looking for a job. Yes, Sir, Mr. Big, I'm a hard
• 0:12
  worker. Just give me a chance.
• 0:14
  I need this job. OK, you're hired.
• 0:17
  See that stack of boxes over there?
• 0:19
  I need you to put them in the. Warehouse, I can shine your
• 0:21
  shoes. Would you like your shoes
• 0:23
  shined? No, that won't be necessary.
• 0:26
  Just move the boxes corny. Your shirts a little wrinkled,
• 0:29
  Sir. I can iron it for you.
• 0:31
  Would you like your shirt ironed?
• 0:32
  Thank you, Corny. That's nice of you to point out,
• 0:34
  but really I just want you to move those boxes.
• 0:37
  I can vacuum the whole office. Would you like the office
• 0:40
  vacuumed? No, I don't want you to vacuum
• 0:43
  the office. That's someone else's job.
• 0:45
  I want you to obey by doing the job that I have assigned to you.
• 0:49
  To obey is better than sacrifice.
• 0:52
  First Samuel, 1520. 2 To obey is better than sacrifice.
• 0:57
  Yes, that means it's better to do what I want you to do since
• 1:01
  I'm the boss, instead of doing what you want to do for me.
• 1:05
  Is that clear? Yes, Sir, Mr. Vig.
• 1:07
  Listen, corny, Our thoughts affect our choices, and our
• 1:10
  choices affect our actions. So instead of thinking about all
• 1:14
  the things you want to do for me, I want you to think about
• 1:17
  what I asked you to do. OK, I got it, Mr. Big.
• 1:22
  Mr. Big, what did you ask me to do again?
• 1:25
  Move those boxes into the warehouse.
• 1:27
  Right. Can I go to the bathroom first?
• 1:31
  Of course, it's down the hall to the left.
• 1:34
  Thank you. I'll move the boxes as soon as
• 1:36
  I'm finished, Mr. Big. Courtney.
• 1:43
  I'm here. I see you still haven't moved to
• 1:45
  those boxes. I was going to but I went to the
• 1:48
  bathroom and the faucet was leaking so I fixed it you.
• 1:52
  Fixed the leaky faucet. Well, not exactly I tried.
• 1:57
  You should call a plumber quick. What did you do?
• 2:01
  I mowed the lawn. Wait.
• 2:03
  What, you mowed the lawn. Yes, Sir.
• 2:06
  We contract with the lawn service Lawns R Us to do all of
• 2:09
  our yard work. That means I'm going to pay them
• 2:11
  this week for doing nothing because you did their work for
• 2:15
  them. What did you use to mow the
• 2:17
  lawn? Scissors.
• 2:19
  That's all I could find. To obey is better than
• 2:22
  sacrifice. First Samuel 1522.
• 2:26
  Do you remember that, Corny? Yes, Sir.
• 2:28
  It was a big sacrifice for you to mow the office lawn with a
• 2:31
  pair of scissors. I'm impressed that you're done
• 2:34
  so soon, actually. But I don't want to sacrifice.
• 2:37
  I want you to obey me. I want those boxes moved into
• 2:41
  the. Warehouse.
• 2:42
  Is that clear? Yes, Sir, Mr. Vig.
• 2:45
  Mr. Vig, please report to the men's restroom.
• 2:49
  There's water. Flooding from under the door.
• 2:52
  Uh oh. Our thoughts affect our choices,
• 2:54
  and our choices affect our actions.
• 2:57
  Just so you know, right now I'm thinking about firing you.
• 2:59
  I'm not doing it yet, but I am thinking about it.
• 3:02
  Why don't you take a coffee break and think about what I've
• 3:04
  just said, Corny. I'm right here, Mr. Vig.
• 3:13
  Corny, you're all wet. You haven't been fixing any more
• 3:16
  leaks, have you? No, Sir.
• 3:18
  Mr. Vig, you didn't tell me to fix any leaks, Sir.
• 3:21
  So. Why are you all wet?
• 3:23
  I felt real bad about the bathroom faucet, so I wanted to
• 3:26
  do something nice for you. The nicest thing you could have
• 3:29
  done for me would be to move those boxes into the warehouse,
• 3:33
  but that would have been obeying, and you don't seem to
• 3:35
  be very good at that. So what nice thing did you do
• 3:39
  for me now, Corny? I washed your car.
• 3:42
  Corny, this is not a car wash, it's an office.
• 3:45
  We don't even have cleaning supplies here to wash cars.
• 3:48
  What did you use to wash my car? Hot coffee.
• 3:51
  You used coffee to wash my white car.
• 3:54
  It looked white until I washed all the dirt off.
• 3:58
  Your car is brown, Sir, isn't it you?
• 4:00
  Didn't wash my car corny. You stained it brown with the
• 4:05
  coffee Courtney. I'm going to have to fire you.
• 4:08
  Fire me? You mean I don't have a job here
• 4:11
  anymore? Why?
• 4:13
  You're asking me why you nearly flooded this office trying to
• 4:17
  fix a leaky faucet. I'm paying for yard work that no
• 4:20
  longer needs to be done, The paint job on my car is ruined,
• 4:23
  and to top it all off, you still haven't moved those boxes that I
• 4:27
  asked you to move first thing this morning.
• 4:30
  I hope you've learned a lesson. I have.
• 4:32
  I'll never use a computer to hit a leaky faucet again.
• 4:35
  So you're the one who broke my computer?
• 4:38
  You noticed? You know, if you had just done
• 4:40
  what you were told in the 1st place, none of this would have
• 4:42
  happened. To obey is better than
• 4:45
  sacrifice. First Samuel, 1522.
• 4:48
  Now, do you understand? I got it.
• 4:51
  I'm going to go move those boxes right now.
• 4:53
  It's too late now, Corny. Get out.
• 4:55
  You're fired. Who could paint your office?
• 4:58
  Would you like your office painted?
• 5:00
  Out. Mr. Big our thoughts affect our
• 5:04
  choices, and our choices affect our actions, right?
• 5:07
  So you. Were listening to something I
• 5:09
  said. Could you think about giving me
• 5:11
  another chance? Out Why don't people do what
• 5:16
  they're told the first time? What's with a?
• 5:27
  Hard hat protection. Protection from what?
• 5:32
  Correction, I've been making a lot of mistakes lately and
• 5:35
  frankly I'm getting a little tired of hearing about it.
• 5:39
  Look pal, God wants His children to receive correction when they
• 5:43
  are wrong. We all make mistakes, but if we
• 5:47
  don't learn from them then we'll keep making the same old
• 5:50
  mistakes over and over. That's what you think?
• 5:54
  I hate correction. I wouldn't go that way if I were
• 6:00
  you. You're not me.
• 6:11
  He who hates correction is. Stupid.
• 6:16
  Proverbs 12/1. It's not fair.
• 6:25
  I didn't do anything wrong. Mobster's in a bad mood.
• 6:28
  Olivia, what are you so upset about?
• 6:32
  I wanted to go outside and play. But you're supposed to finish
• 6:36
  your homework first. I did finish it, Amy.
• 6:40
  Mom still won't let me go outside.
• 6:42
  But you did your homework all wrong.
• 6:45
  You didn't read the directions because you were in a hurry to
• 6:49
  go play. Mom is so mean.
• 6:53
  She's not trying to be mean, she's trying to help you.
• 6:57
  I. Hate it when she corrects my
• 6:59
  homework. You'd get an F if she didn't
• 7:03
  check it. She wants you to get an.
• 7:05
  A I'd rather just get an F. God wants his children to
• 7:10
  receive correction when they are wrong.
• 7:13
  Haven't you ever heard of Proverbs 12/1?
• 7:17
  He who hates correction is stupid.
• 7:22
  Did you just call me stupid? I'm.
• 7:26
  Telling no I wasn't calling you stupid, I would never do.
• 7:33
  That I'm just. Trying to help Olivia.
• 7:37
  Olivia, what is up? Hey I noticed the hard hat is
• 7:48
  missing, did you change your mind?
• 7:51
  Yeah, I decided to quit being so hard headed.
• 7:56
  Correction is good for you. It keeps you on the right path
• 8:01
  in life. Speaking of the right path, how
• 8:04
  did you survive that fall earlier?
• 8:06
  Well, that's what woke me up. I was really stupid.
• 8:12
  I was reminded of Proverbs 12/1 when you did that.
• 8:16
  Who hates correction is stupid. Well, I'm not stupid.
• 8:23
  Anymore. No, I'd say you've wised up.
• 8:27
  God wants his children to receive correction when they are
• 8:30
  wrong. Keep it up and you'll get to be
• 8:33
  as wise as me someday. As wise as you.
• 8:38
  Just kidding. I'll be going now.
• 8:42
  Wrong way. I forgot about that, thanks for
• 8:46
  correcting me. Smart.
• 8:50
  Very smart. Your Highness.
• 8:59
  What's the matter, soldier? Sitting up high on wall fell.
• 9:06
  Splat. Calm down soldier.
• 9:10
  Get a hold of yourself, man. Now take a deep breath.
• 9:15
  Now tell me, nice and slow, what's the matter?
• 9:19
  It's Mr. Dumpty. Mr. Dumpty who?
• 9:23
  Humpty Dumpty, you know, the big egg.
• 9:25
  What about him? He was sitting on the.
• 9:27
  Wall again. Oh Humpty, how many times have I
• 9:31
  told you to stay off the wall? Did you put that sign up like I
• 9:36
  told you? The one that says no selling
• 9:38
  seashells by the seashore. I meant the one that said no
• 9:42
  sitting on the wall. Yes, yes, both signs have been
• 9:45
  up for over a month. By the way, that girl is still
• 9:48
  selling seashells by the seashore, but that's another
• 9:51
  story. Mr. Dumpty fell.
• 9:55
  Oh dear. There's yellow goop everywhere.
• 9:58
  It's a mess. I tried to put Mr. Humpty back
• 10:01
  together. I gave up.
• 10:03
  I left my horse there. He said he'd keep trying.
• 10:06
  Smart horse, God's plan for Humpty's life shattered to
• 10:11
  pieces. How could this happen?
• 10:14
  Like this? Help me.
• 10:17
  I'm falling. Yeah.
• 10:20
  This shouldn't be happening, not in my Kingdom.
• 10:23
  What was Humpty doing before he fell?
• 10:25
  Just sitting there. Was he praying?
• 10:27
  Are you kidding? Mr. Dumpty wouldn't pray if his
• 10:30
  life. Depended on it.
• 10:31
  Uh huh, there's the problem. Where's the problem?
• 10:35
  First, he shouldn't have been on the wall.
• 10:37
  If only done what the sign said it was right there.
• 10:42
  Secondly, he didn't pray. God's angels can't do their job
• 10:46
  unless we pray. Psalm 1/03/20 says the angels
• 10:50
  listen intently to the voice of God's Word to do it.
• 10:54
  So when we pray according to God's Word, the angels go to
• 10:58
  work helping us carry out God's plan for our lives.
• 11:02
  And I know sitting on that wall doing nothing was not God's plan
• 11:07
  for Humpty's life. Face it, there's nothing you or
• 11:10
  I or your horse can do. Don't cry.
• 11:17
  I know you did all you could. Let me write it all down in the
• 11:21
  journal real quick. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
• 11:26
  Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the King's horses and all
• 11:32
  the King's men. It was just me, Sir, and my
• 11:35
  horse. You're the only man and horse I
• 11:38
  have. Oh, that's true.
• 11:40
  Couldn't put Humpty together again.
• 11:44
  So now what do we do? I haven't had any breakfast.
• 11:48
  I have my mind set on a super sized omelet.
• 11:52
  That's a good idea. Hey, on the way we could stop by
• 11:56
  the seashore and tell that girl to go sell a seashell somewhere
• 11:59
  else. Good afternoon, Sir.
• 12:15
  What can I get for you today? I think I'll have today's
• 12:19
  special. Fresh tuna sandwich an excellent
• 12:24
  choice coming right up. Fresh tuna sandwich on the
• 12:28
  double and to drink. A glass of water please.
• 12:34
  That will be all. A glass of water.
• 12:38
  I will be right back with your order, Sir.
• 12:48
  There you go Sir, our special for today and a glass of water.
• 12:54
  Will there be anything else? Waiter, what is this?
• 12:59
  Fresh tuna sandwich like you ordered, Sir.
• 13:02
  This is not what I wanted. But it is what you ordered, Sir.
• 13:08
  It's a fish. A tuna fish fresh in a bun.
• 13:14
  I can't eat this. Could you please take this back
• 13:18
  and give me a tuna salad sandwich?
• 13:21
  Correction makes that a tuna salad sandwich.
• 13:29
  I apologize for the mistake, we will correct it right away.
• 13:37
  Who did the Smooshi? He wants tuna salad.
• 13:41
  Verdi Verdi put in the pubracoot.
• 13:44
  Just correct it. No fixing.
• 13:47
  No fixing in the smooshi. Here is your tuna salad sandwich
• 13:54
  just like you ordered, Sir. This is not a tuna salad
• 13:59
  sandwich. But Sir, you will notice the
• 14:02
  piece of lettuce on the fish, hence tuna salad.
• 14:08
  No, I cannot eat this. Do you have canned tuna?
• 14:13
  Everyone we serve prefers the fresh tuna over the canned tuna,
• 14:19
  Sir. Could you please take this back
• 14:22
  and bring me a canned tuna sandwich?
• 14:25
  Oh yes Sir, we will correct your order.
• 14:29
  Our goal is to get your order right just the way you like it.
• 14:36
  Correction, Make it a canned tuna sandwich.
• 14:45
  Who did this mushy? He wants canned tuna.
• 14:49
  He obviously does not like the fresh tuna so correct it.
• 14:54
  Please. No, no, no, no.
• 14:57
  Fidget is mushy. God wants his children to
• 15:02
  receive correction when they are wrong.
• 15:09
  In this business, the customer is always right.
• 15:14
  We don't get any money until we give him what he wants.
• 15:19
  Proverbs 12/1 says he who hates correction is stupid.
• 15:28
  Now wise up and quit getting angry and arguing or we are
• 15:34
  going to go broke. Make the correction please.
• 15:38
  Fern, Verdi. Verdi.
• 15:40
  Butt. Stick them in the Bush.
• 15:43
  Dumby, dumby. Here you are Sir, just like you
• 15:49
  ordered. What is this supposed to be?
• 15:53
  That is a Canjuna sandwich like you ordered, Sir, with a piece
• 15:59
  of lettuce. Do you not want it?
• 16:03
  I cannot eat this can. But that is what you ordered.
• 16:09
  But it's still in the can. That is why it is called can
• 16:14
  tuna. Haven't you ever heard of
• 16:16
  opening the can and taking the tuna out?
• 16:21
  We usually only serve fresh tuna.
• 16:24
  You know what, forget it, I'll go somewhere else to eat.
• 16:35
  Correction. Wait.
• 16:42
  Before you go, do you know anything about opening cans?
• 16:49
  Share fish bites for kids on social media and we'd really
• 16:53

• 16:57
