TVLAND is asking people to sit down to dinner with your family on September 25, reminding us all that our lives have become so busy and hectic the family structure is breaking down and a simple act like having a meal together can begin the process of making a difference. It sounds so simple, but I wonder how many families do sit down to a meal any more. I know myself that since my children are grown and on their own I eat in front of the TV and by talking to others I realize I am not the only one.  (for information on the TVLAND challenge, click here)

I wonder about a Family Bible Time Challenge.  Pick one night this week, sit down with your family and have a time of devotion.  Here are some ideas:

1)      Have a Bible Quiz.  Ask each family member to write a question and also the Bible reference answer on a card.  Questions on one side, answers on the other.  If your family is large enough divide into teams and have a moderator ask the questions, if not modify the process to fit your family size.

2)      Dress up as Biblical characters and guess who each person is.

3)      Using teddy bears or dolls act out a Bible story with smaller children.
