Zack's Zap Pack Page #3

---

I want you to take the

souffl very carefully

Out of the refrigerator

and put it in the oven.

And then you're going to set

the timer - it's right here,

Set the timer for

exactly 42 minutes.

Not a minute longer, because

souffl's are very, very finicky.

So--are you paying attention?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay. So then at exactly 6:17 -

got it written right here,

I want you to carefully

take it out of the oven

And place it on the stove.

Turn off the oven.

Gently cover it

with aluminum foil.

Gently, yes.

Then at exactly 6:30,

I want you to wake up

your father right at 6:30,

So then you can both have

time to eat together

Before he has to leave

for work.

So what comes after 527 degrees

and 350 minutes?

Zachary, it's 350 degrees.

It's cool, mom, chill.

I know.

All right.

Love you.

Love you, too.

[Instrumental music]

Ugh!

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

[Phone ringing]

Hello, I mean,

McGillicutty residence.

What's up, Tyler?

You guys won

the championship?

Party...

I'll be there.

All right, man. See ya.

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

[Timer ringing]

[Smoke alarm]

[Phone ringing]

Hmm?

Slow down, slow down,

who is this?

(Sniffing) Tyler...

I'm gonna have to call

you back, Tyler.

[Pop, hiss]

Really?

Yep, flat tire.

Great.

[Instrumental music]

Oh, you really did it

this time.

What were you thinking?

He wasn't thinking.

Maybe someone erased

his brain.

I thought I could ride my bike

to hickory heights.

I know, it was a mistake.

[Calculator chattering]

Who cares if he's sorry?

Sorry isn't going to erase

this mistake.

Zachary, disobeying has

put you in danger.

I was gonna come back...

After the party.

Just give it up, Woody.

He's never gonna learn.

Don't you guys get how

bad I miss my friends?

This would've been a great

chance to see them all.

It was a party.

A party I would have been at

if we hadn't moved here.

[Calculator chattering]

We understand this move

has been hard on you,

But that doesn't mean you can

disobey your parents.

Come take a look at my pad.

I've got another story

to draw for you.

This story Jesus told can be

found in luke 15:11-32.

It's about a father

and his two sons.

He loved them so much he gave

them rules to follow,

Rules that would

keep them safe.

The father told his sons

that everything he owned

Would some day belong to them.

The younger brother

started thinking

How nice it was going to be

to own everything,

And his heart became

filled with greed.

He asked his dad, "When will

I get everything you own?"

"When I die."

"Dad, could you die soon?

I want everything

you own right now."

The father was shocked

and terribly sad,

But he agreed to give the son

half of everything he owned.

The son was so excited that

he ran off to the big city

Without even saying goodbye.

He at the finest foods and he

slept in the fanciest hotels,

But what he enjoyed most

Was the attention he got

from his new friends.

They told him how

great he was

And how much they

cared about him,

But one day while he was

with his friends,

He reached for his wallet

And discovered his money

was all gone.

He spent all the money

his father had given him.

He turned to his friends

to see if they could help,

But one by one, they left,

leaving him all alone.

Soon, the son was sleeping

in the streets

- And eating out of garbage cans.

- Gross.

He finally found a job

feeding pigs on a farm.

They paid him by giving him

Whatever food the pigs didn't eat.

More gross.

He wondered if his dad

would ever forgive him

For wasting all of his money.

He sat in the mud

and cried and cried.

That's terrible.

So what did he do?

He decided to go home

and see if his father

Would give him a job that

paid him with real food.

The young son walked up

the long driveway to his home.

His dad saw him.

He was so happy

to see his son

That he ran out and hugged him

and then he ran into the house,

Got clean clothes, and planned

a huge welcome home feast.

What a great dad.

Can't believe he forgave his son

for wasting all that money.

My dad. The souffl!

It's still in the oven!

Well, no erasing that one.

Oh, nonsense.

God's grace can erase any

mistake, no matter how big.

God may forgive me,

but what about my dad?

What if he misses work

and gets fired?

Let's just focus on

what's before us,

Not what might or

might not happen.

Ephesians 6:
1, "Children,

obey your parents

Because you belong

to the Lord,

For this is the right

thing to do."

Too late for that.

I know I messed up, Pinkie.

You don't have to keep

reminding me.

[Calculator chattering]

You watch it, T.I.,

or I'll turn you off.

Now, think about it, Zachary.

Why would our heavenly

father want children

To obey their earthly

fathers and mothers?

Well, because if we

obey our parents

We'll probably stay safe?

That's right.

God loves us and he gave us

parents to keep us safe,

But there's more.

Well, maybe when we learn

how to obey our parents,

We also learn how to obey God.

Wonderful.

You make me just want to sing.

Hello, my honey,

hello, my baby,

Hello, my ragtime gal

God knows that if children

have a hard time

Obeying parents they can see,

They will have a much

harder time obeying

A heavenly father

they can't see.

And when you disobey either

one, bad things can happen.

Some of those things

you'll never forget.

What are you talking about?

Pinkie once belonged to

a beautiful little girl.

Sadly, this girl never learned

To obey her parents

or obey God.

One day, she ran away

from home...

And never returned.

[Calculator chattering]

Thank you, T.I.

I'm sorry, Pinkie.

But I'm going home and I'm

going to try my best

To obey my parents and God.

Oh, Zachary, you're becoming so

wise, but now it's time to go.

But how am I going

to get home?

You'll figure it out.

What is he going to do now?

What if something happens

to him out there?

[Calculator chattering]

Oh, relax, everyone.

God is still in control.

God, I've messed up big time.

I guess that's what I get

for, you know, not obeying.

Please, help me. Amen.

Hey, tough guy,

where's your helmet?

You all right?

Yeah, sorry, dad.

The soccer team won the game

and I wanted to tag along.

I know, Tyler called.

Really?

Yeah, he told me

the whole thing.

Oh, what happened

to mom's souffl?

Well, don't tell her this,

But I think you accidentally

managed to improve the flavor.

Come on and get your bike,

let's go.

Hey, we're going to make

a stop on the way home.

Okay.

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

[Harmonica music]

[Harmonica music]

Good morning, Zachary.

Morning.

Yeah, so I'm thinking about

trying out for the soccer team.

That's wonderful, Zachary.

Didn't I tell you everything

would work out?

Mark my words,

before you know it,

You are going to love

living in Mudville.

Yeah, sure.

Nice backpack.

It's yours.
