Speaker 1: Hi.
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.
