Speaker 2:Ranger read here and Ranger brook whoa look at? Ranger read Welcome to creation Nuggets follow us.
Speaker 1:The ranger station's just ahead.
Speaker 2:Greeting's wilderness Explorer.
Speaker 3:Ranger read Carson twisted his ankle on lookout ledge. Counselor Jake sent me to show you.
Speaker 2:The way I heard. Jake called and said that they meandered off the path. Lot's at the trail, snail.
Speaker 3:We should have been more careful around the rocks. I didn't realize how rocky the soil is up here.
Speaker 2:Yet, It's incredible to see which plants grow and even thrive and higher rocky elevations. Take this variety of seedum, for instance.
Speaker 3:The bright green plant that's cascading over some of the rocky places. I honestly hadn't noticed it before.
Speaker 2:Affirmative, although I like its other name stone crop better.
Speaker 3:Stone crop kind of oxymoronic, don't you think.
Speaker 2:Just another manifestation of God's loving handiwork. This plant will weather the weather.
Speaker 3:Ranger read, don't.
Speaker 2:You see how thick each little leaf is. This plant is storing water.
Speaker 3:There, so that's how it can stay green when the grass is nearby are yellow from no rain.
Speaker 2:Exactly take a look at this plant.
Speaker 3:I see small root feelers poking out from the stems. They must be looking for dirt, even though there's hardly any amongst this rock.
Speaker 2:Some varieties of stone crop are edible. Others change color with the seasons, but they can grow in shallow soil and a drought and still bloom.
Speaker 3:It looks like this one is going to flower. But Ranger reed, we can't forget about carcon Ah.
Speaker 2:Yes, let's talk and walk.
Speaker 3:I feel bad about Carson twisting his ankle, like this will be such a trial for him with all his plans for the rest of the summer.
Speaker 2:That's where stone crop comes in.
Speaker 3:Huh. Stone crop.
Speaker 2:It accepts the wind and sun with patients and thrives where other plants cannot.
Speaker 3:I still don't understand.
Speaker 2:While he may be disappointed, Carson can know that God has strength stored up for him for every trial that life brings.
Speaker 3:Just like the stone crop thrives in the rock. Exactly, if I think much about trials, I get nervous. I don't know that I could handle the troubles that some people go through.
Speaker 2:Ouch that rock with sharp, careful Ranger read, God has all the strength for any trial that you stumble on.
Speaker 3:Maybe I can be God's stone crop, choosing to accept whatever comes my way with patience and trust.
Speaker 2:Listen, do you hear something?
Speaker 3:Oh, yes, that's Jake.
Speaker 1:The group is over to our right.
Speaker 2:Now watch the rocks. We don't need any more injuries today. Forward march, Let's rescue Carson Mountaineers. Join us here again, next time for more creation nuggets. A Discovery Mountain Many Adventure Discovery Mountain is a production of the Voice of Prophecy
