  Hey, let's get out of here. What are you doing?
• 0:08
  Are you crazy? You'll get caught.
• 0:11
  Come on. Come on.
• 0:12
  Let's get out of here now. I'm not going anywhere.
• 0:15
  I broke the window. It was an accident.
• 0:20
  Besides, nobody saw you except me, and I'm not going to tell.
• 0:25
  Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not
• 0:30
  do it to him, it is sin. James 417 I don't want to sin.
• 0:34
  What are you talking about? Weren't you listening in church?
• 0:39
  God wants His children to be trustworthy, to accept
• 0:43
  responsibility for their actions.
• 0:45
  Yeah, they told a story about a kid breaking a window with his
• 0:50
  baseball and then going up to the house to tell the lady he'll
• 0:53
  pay for it. Are you going up to the door?
• 0:56
  I don't have to. Here comes the lady now, no.
• 1:00
  Is this your ball, young man? Yes, ma'am.
• 1:08
  Quit saying that bad word. I throw the ball, ma'am.
• 1:12
  I'll pay for the window if you just tell me how much it is.
• 1:16
  Don't you stand there and lie to me.
• 1:19
  Now I know one of you did it, and you better just tell the
• 1:23
  What did you say I. Broke your window?
• 1:26
  It was an accident but I'll gladly pay for it.
• 1:29
  I have some money in my Piggy Bank, almo lawns and wash cars,
• 1:33
  whatever I have to do if it's not enough.
• 1:36
  That's very responsible. Love you young man, what's your
• 1:41
  name? Jeffy.
• 1:43
  Well, Jeffy, if you'll promise to play ball in the park next
• 1:47
  time instead of near my house, I'll just report this to the
• 1:52
  insurance company. That way neither one of us has
• 1:56
  to pay for it. Do we have a deal?
• 1:59
  Yes ma'am, but I'd at least like to clean up the leaves in your
• 2:03
  yard just as a sort of punishment.
• 2:06
  Well, it's no punishment, but I think it's a great idea.
• 2:10
  I'll go get my rake and I'll be right back.
• 2:13
  Wow, there's not many boys around like that anymore.
• 2:19
  No, ma'am, he's Jeffy. He's the only Jeffy I know.
• 2:23
  I suppose I'll help him with your yard since I was supposed
• 2:27
  to catch the ball. May I have my ball back?
• 2:32
  Please, I think I'll keep the ball.
• 2:35
  It will remind me that there are two trustworthy boys in the
• 2:40
  neighborhood. How about if we just come say hi
• 2:44
  to you once in a while? That way you could remember us
• 2:47
  and I could have my ball back. It's a deal here.
• 2:51
  Catch. Oops, good thing he didn't break
• 2:56
  anybody's window. Now we know why the windows
• 3:00
  broken that boy cannot catch. Where are you at heart?
• 3:11
  What's wrong? That's what I'd like to know.
• 3:13
  I just. Got arrested.
• 3:15
  For what? Shoplifting.
• 3:17
  I was at the store with a couple of my buddies checking out the
• 3:20
  candy when all of a sudden Frankie crams us, Snickers into
• 3:23
  his pocket and walks out without paying.
• 3:26
  That's stealing. Tell me about it.
• 3:28
  Next thing I know, Newman's out the door with a Nestle's Crunch
• 3:31
  and a pack of gum. I'm standing there by myself,
• 3:34
  breaking out into a cold sweat and I haven't even done
• 3:37
  anything. Did you make them return the
• 3:40
  stuff? They're my friends.
• 3:42
  Not very good ones if you ask me.
• 3:44
  Well, they're all I have. So what happened next?
• 3:48
  I decided to give it a try. Give what a try.
• 3:50
  You know, stealing. You didn't.
• 3:55
  Oh yeah, baby, I did. I should have never gone for the
• 3:59
  Butterfinger, but I couldn't help it.
• 4:01
  It's my favorite candy bar. What was wrong with the
• 4:04
  Butterfinger? Don't you get it?
• 4:06
  I dropped it. It's a Butterfinger.
• 4:08
  When I reached down to pick it up, that's when I attracted the
• 4:11
  attention of the cashier. She saw me, put it in my pocket
• 4:14
  and busted. Security was on me faster than
• 4:18
  you can shake a stick. I've never shaken a stick
• 4:21
  before. Next thing I I know I'm sitting
• 4:23
  in the back of a squad car. The police handcuffed me.
• 4:26
  Man, I've had a hard day. Well, I hope you learned your
• 4:30
  lesson. Oh yeah, I have.
• 4:32
  You can't trust your angels. What?
• 4:34
  Yeah, that whole bit about God giving his angels charge over
• 4:38
  you to keep you in all your ways.
• 4:40
  Well, it ain't all your ways, let me tell you.
• 4:43
  It's all your ways when you're doing the will of God.
• 4:45
  Stealing is a sin. You can't disobey God's Word
• 4:49
  like that and expect God to send His angels to guard and protect
• 4:53
  you from getting caught. Now you tell me.
• 4:56
  I shouldn't have to tell you that.
• 4:58
  Didn't your mommy teach you that when you were a kid?
• 5:00
  Leave my mother out of this. She had nothing to do with me
• 5:03
  stealing that Butterfinger. What am I saying?
• 5:05
  I didn't even steal it. I got caught.
• 5:09
  Then you go to church and learn the 10 commandments.
• 5:11
  Yeah, do you remember? Thou shalt not steal.
• 5:15
  I remember. So the lesson you should have
• 5:18
  learned is that you have to stand up for what is right.
• 5:20
  If you're going to be a doer of God's Word, you want to know
• 5:23
  what I think your friends need to get saved, or else you'll
• 5:27
  have to find some new friends. Yeah, maybe you're right.
• 5:31
  I am right. I'm always right.
• 5:34
  That's why I'm the hard and you're not.
• 5:36
  All right, all right, I'm going to go get Newman and Frankie
• 5:39
  saved. That's more like it.
• 5:50
  Oh hey pops, come quick. What's the matter, Bungie?
• 5:54
  I'm broken glass. Don't move.
• 5:56
  I'll get a broom. Playing baseball with your
• 5:59
  friends again, were you? Yeah, it was my turn at bat and
• 6:03
  I hit the ball good. How did you know?
• 6:07
  Here's your ball. Oh, there it is.
• 6:09
  Thanks. See ya.
• 6:12
  Where do you think you're going? The kids are waiting.
• 6:15
  We're in the middle of a good game.
• 6:16
  Bye. Isn't there something you want
• 6:18
  to say to me first? No, not really.
• 6:21
  You broke my window and you have nothing to say.
• 6:24
  I didn't break your window. Oh, I'm sorry, I I thought, but
• 6:28
  you said you hit the ball. I did hit the ball, but I didn't
• 6:31
  break the window, the ball did. You hit the ball through the
• 6:35
  window, that makes it your fault.
• 6:38
  It's not my fault, it was an accident.
• 6:40
  It was an accident, but it's your fault because you hit the
• 6:44
  ball and it went through my window.
• 6:46
  I wasn't trying to break the window.
• 6:48
  But you were trying to hit the ball.
• 6:50
  Well, yeah. And you hit it good, right?
• 6:53
  Yeah, you should have seen it pops.
• 6:56
  It went right over the pitcher's head and that's when I hit the
• 6:59
  window. I don't know, but the ball
• 7:01
  didn't listen. Bungie, the Bible says in
• 7:03
  Proverbs 2813 that a person who refuses to admit their mistakes
• 7:08
  can never do well. But if they admit it and stop
• 7:11
  doing it, they'll get another chance.
• 7:14
  But it wasn't a mistake, it was an accident.
• 7:17
  Sometimes our mistakes are on purpose and sometimes they are
• 7:20
  accidents, but either way, they are still mistakes and they
• 7:24
  still need to be admitted. The best way to admit a mistake
• 7:28
  is to say you're sorry, and if you really mean it, you'll stop
• 7:31
  doing it. So you want me to stop hitting
• 7:34
  the ball? No, just try not to hit it
• 7:37
  through a window. Maybe you need to go play at the
• 7:41
  park instead of the front yard. Can I ask you something pops?
• 7:47
  Of course you can. What if you do something wrong
• 7:50
  that you know you'll get in trouble for?
• 7:53
  Do you have to tell on yourself? Well, if you don't admit it,
• 7:57
  then you've done two things wrong and chances are you'll get
• 8:00
  in even more trouble. I'm really sorry for breaking
• 8:05
  the window pops. I forgive you, Bungie here.
• 8:10
  A broom? What's this for?
