FReeper Canteen ~ Canteen Kids: Jay Jay The Jet Plane ~ April 12, 2006

Hi!  My name is Shorty and I am 4 years old!
First I want to say thanks to the soldiers who keep us safe!

Today I want to talk about one of my favorite TV shows,

Jay Jay the Jet Plane

 I have a set of the Jay Jay toys.  My favorite is Tuffy because she is a girl and she's pretty.  Tuffy makes mommy crazy because mommy says she's whiny.

I also like Revvin' Evan and I like to see him and Tuffy together.

 

My favorite planes are Jay Jay and Tracy.  I like it when they are flying together.

 

The other characters:

 

	Savannah:  She can do supersonic booms and she can go faster than all the other planes.  She's a jet plane.
	Oscar:  He's old and he knows a lot.  He used to the circus tricks like the Double Over-Under-Upside-Down-Loop-de-Loop.
	Herky:  He's a helicopter and he's funny and he LOVES donuts!
	Big Jake:  He is big and strong and he's also pretty smart.
	Snuffy:  He's the youngest plane and he still takes naps.  He's special because he can sky write and he can have special things added to his skywriting smoke.
	Brenda Blue:  She's the boss of all the planes and she works on them.

 

Here are some fun Jay Jay websites:

I hope you like my thread.  Do you watch Jay Jay?  Who is your favorite?

The Hidden Rattler

Read:
2 Kings 20:12-21

A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor. —Proverbs 29:23

Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 19-21; Luke 11:29-54

When I was a boy, our family lived on a farm. One spring, we killed 13 rattlesnakes in a brief period of time.

A rattler can be easily destroyed if you know where it is and how far it can reach when it strikes. So my brothers and I never worried about the snakes we could see. We were genuinely concerned, however, about stepping on one whose presence we had not detected.

King Hezekiah was subtly "bitten" by a hidden temptation, not seduced by a gross and obvious evil. He allowed a measure of pride and self-reliance to blight his career. He should have put his full trust in the Lord for protection from his enemies, but instead he sought safety through an alliance with idolatrous men (2 Chronicles 32:25,31).

It's too bad that this otherwise good king marred his reign by this sin. We need to be on guard lest we allow pride to build up in our hearts until we, like Hezekiah, succumb to the wiles of the enemy. We may be prepared to stand against obvious invitations to sin that would besmirch our name, but we may not be ready for life's subtle temptations.

Beware of "hidden rattlers"—they're the most dangerous of all! —Herb Vander Lugt

The devil has many enticements,
There's danger wherever you go;
But if you are tempted in weakness,
Ask God for more grace, and say, "No!" —Palmer

If you want to master temptation, let Christ master you.

Shorty--YOU DID FABULOUS! Thank you for doing a wonderful, fun, and colorful thread for our Troops. I'm sure they will enjoy it and for some it will probably remind them of cartoons and kids shows they loved watching too.

By the way, make your Mom give you chocolate. You deserve it!!

*HUGS*

[MoJo2001]

Good evening to the Mayors!
Hope you both are doing well. Thank you for your devotion to our Troops on a daily basis here.

*HUGS* to you both!!

Hey Auntie Mojo! You're crazy! (complete with big teenager eyerolling)

[SandRat]

Since this is Canteen-Kids here's a story that they may find interesting. Has to be just a link as it's a Knight Ridder paper Military-based program teaching mini Marines.

I read it to her -- when I read about the chocolate Shorty said "You better mom, or I'll scream!"

"If you say that again to me I'm gonna scream right in front of you!"


(I have no idea what that means, but it was accompanied by a fit of giggles)

[MoJo2001]

Shorty--If your mommy doesn't give you chocolate, WE'LL ALL SCREAM. How about that?

[The Mayor]

[StarCMC]

"You're crazy. And I'm saying that in a good way And you're welcome"
