Lesson 5 - 16th April 2020

Hi Rangers,
I hope you are all well and staying positive and that you are healthy and safe.

    Spiritual Discovery 1

    Now imagine you have been on an overseas trip to the middle east.  While wandering around some ancient ruins you discover an inscription carved on the foundation stone of a great monument.  This inscription tells of a new religion. The inscription says:
    15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
    21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[a] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Humpty Dumpty

We know the story of Humpty Dumpty...
 
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men, couldn’t put humpty together again.
 
Here is the extended version
Soon the King himself heard of Humpty’s fate. And he was deeply disturbed. So, setting aside his royal finery, disguised as a common peasant, the King slipped unnoticed through the majestic palace gates and into the rough-and-tumble street life of his kingdom.
The King meandered through the back streets and alleys in search of Humpty. After several days and nights the persistent monarch found him. Humpty’s shattered body was scattered over a ten-foot circle amidst the broken glass and flattened beer cans of a back alley.
Though exhausted from his searching, the King was overjoyed at the sight of Humpty. He ran to his side and cried, “Humpty! It is I—your King! I have powers greater than those of my horses and men who failed to put you together again. Be at peace. I am here to help!”
“Leave me alone,” Humpty’s mouth retorted. “I’ve gotten used to this new way of life. I kind of like it now.” “But...” was all the King could get out before Humpty continued.
“I tell you, I’m fine. I like it here. That trashcan over there...the way the sun sparkles on the broken glass. This must be the garden spot of the world!”
The King tried again. “I assure you my kingdom has much more to offer than this back alley—there are green mountains, rolling surf, exciting cities...”
But Humpty would hear none of it. And the saddened King returned to the palace.
A week later, one of Humpty’s eyes rolled skyward only to see once again the concerned face of the King standing over his fractured pieces.
“I’ve come to help,” the King stated.
“Look, leave me alone, will you?” said Humpty. “I’ve just seen my psychiatrist, and he assures me that I’m doing a fine job of coping with my environment as it is. You’re a cop-out. A man has to deal with life as it comes. I’m a realist.”
“But wouldn’t you rather walk?” asked the King.
“Look,” Humpty’s mouth replied, “once I get up and start walking I’ll have to stay up and keep walking. At this point in my life I’m not ready to make a commitment like that. So, if you’ll excuse me, you’re blocking my sun.”
Reluctantly the King turned once again and walked through the streets of his kingdom back to the palace.
It was over a year before the King ventured to return to Humpty’s side. But, sure enough, one bright morning one of Humpty’s ears perked up at the sure, steady strides of the King. This time he was ready. Humpty’s eye turned toward the tall figure just as his mouth managed the words, “My King!”
Immediately the King fell to his knees on the glass-covered pavement. His strong, knowing hands gently began to piece together Humpty’s fragments. After some time, his work completed, the King rose to full height, pulling up with him the figure of a strong young man.
The two walked throughout the kingdom. Together they stood atop lush green mountains. They ran together along deserted beaches. They laughed and joked together as they strolled the gleaming cities of the King’s domain. This went on forever. And to the depth, breadth, and height of- Written by Vic Pentz

Lesson 3 - 4th April 2020

Hi Rangers!
So, last week we looked at healthy living with guidelines that would strengthen your desire to care for your bodies and minds and the importance of an active lifestyle.
This class, we will look at ourselves and our personal growth. As well as physical care, as teenagers it is a natural process to feel and see changes. But what we don't see and sometimes don't understand is the mental and emotional changes.
This topic may be confusing to you so just do as much as you can and if you have any questions please let me know by emailing me.
Let's get started with week 3!

 Advantages of living the Adventist Christian Lifestyle (Health & Fitness)

​Watch the episode "God's Super Food" of Amazing Adventures to learn more about God's plan for our health and wellbeing.
“Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power - these are the true remedies.” ('Ministry of Healing' by E.G. White)
What does the Bible say about looking after our bodies?
  • “that you may. . . be in health, just as your soul prospers” 3 John 2
  • “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” 1 Cor. 10:31
  • “body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. . . You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glory God in your body” 1 Cor. 6:19, 20
  • "Jesus declared, “I have come that they might have life. . . . more abundantly” John 10:10
  • “By me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased” Proverbs 9:11

    Physical Health Activity

    Have you been writing you diary entry from the weekly ‘physical health’ plan we did last class?
    1. Do you know any Bible stories of someone who used the similar ideas to the Adventist Lifestyle of Healthy Eating and Trusting in God? (Hint...Read Daniel 1:8-20)
    		 Picture
    The Adventist lifestyle for me is based on being the healthiest version of yourself it helps you be happy in who you are, and by making Jesus Christ your Lord and saviour helps remind you of just how important we as God’s children are and why he would die for us.
    ​Doesn’t that make you feel important and loved?
    Picture
    Read the story below and then answer the questions:

    Peter was sixteen years old and belonged to a nature club. He was asked by the club leader to stand in front of the group and give a speech about “horses,” for 5 minutes, one of his favourite interests. He pondered all week about what he should say. After all, he knew an awful lot about horses and had agreed to give the talk.
    As the week went by, however, he became more and more frightened. What would he say? How would he say it? Above all, what would they think about what he had to say? Or what if they knew a lot more about horses than he did?
    The doubts about his ability to stand up in front of the group became so overwhelming that he called the group leader the night before to say he wasn’t well and wouldn’t be able to come.
     
    You will be able to think of lots of situations in which young people would like to do something but feel, for some reason, terribly inadequate and are unable to begin.

    ​Think of some different kinds of situations in which you might feel like this in your own lives and answer the following questions:

Lesson 2 - 21st March 2020

Hi Rangers!

I hope you are all well and staying positive.  Even though we aren’t able to have classes, Myself and the leaders don’t want you to miss out on work to complete this class. So let's get started. If you have any questions please email me
 
This class we will look into practical guidelines that will help you strengthen your desire to fare for your bodies and you minds and hopefully discover the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

    Health and Fitness - Requirement 1
Principles of Physical Health examples
Some of the Physical health examples that we covered in the first class were:
​
  • Staying Hydrated (Water,Tea)
  • Good Sleeping Habits
  • Sunlight & Fresh air
  • Healthy Eating
  • Keeping Active
  • Less Screen Time
 
Last week we also looked into creating a weekly plan for a weekly active schedule.
Here is what I plan to do next week:
Unfortunately I finish work at 5:30 and don’t normally get home till 6:15pm.  But I that still gives me lots of time to be active and also sleep on time.
Some tips:
  1. Fill in the table with times when you can add these principles of physical health to your week (Playing soccer in the backyard, dinner : what meals did you eat? etc)
  2. Try and sleep on time that will give at least 8 hours of sleep.
  3. Write a diary entry to keep you accountable and so you know how the schedule is making you feel.  Write if you were able to complete a full day or if you weren’t able to.  This may help you determine what keeps you from keeping your schedule.
  4. Less time on the Screens means more time learning or spending time with your family. You tend to lose time more when focused on a smart device or gadget.  Try to ask mum and dad how there day was or ask your sibling how school or work was?
  5. Don’t forget homework and sleep preparations (Brushing teeth or bathing)
Create your own timetable and email me a copy of it!
