We have decided to read the entire Bible out loud as a family. Each day after a meal we set our plates aside and pick up our bibles. We go around table, each reading a verse and sharing a comment or explanation from time to time. Everybody loves this time together, especially our kids. Sometimes we even take our bibles along when we go out to eat. We've had many people stop by our table over the years and comment on how good it was to see our family pray before we eat, so I know folks are watching. I wonder what they think to see us doing a family bible study. Our motive is not to impress others with how "spiritual" we are, but if our actions encourage someone else to pick up their bible, that's pretty cool!

Walking The Talk
Long time followers of our ministry will know we have stopped producing our full newsletter in favor of shorter and more frequent updates. Ministry news is covered at pnpupdate.blogspot.com and personal news, family stuff and misc goodies will be covered here. I'll still have goofy stuff from my slightly warped view of reality, but there will also be some entries that are a bit more serious, like yesterday's. One former newsletter column was called "Walking The Talk" and featured simple witnessing tips. Today's post fits that category perfectly.
