Most of you who read my blog know that I was raised in Arkansas and now live in Florida. But what you probably don’t know is that I was born and bred in Texas. So, when the following was emailed to me, I just had to post it. 
People here in Texas have trouble with all those shalls and shall nots in the Ten Commandments. Folks here just aren’t used to talking in those terms. So, some folks out in West Texas got together and translated the “King James” version into “King Ranch” version: Ten Commandments, cowboy style.
Cowboy’s Ten Commandments posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Fairlie, Texas.
- Just one God.
- Honor yer Ma & Pa.
- No telling tales or gossipin’.
- Git yourself to Sunday meeting.
- Put nothin’ before God.
- No foolin’ around with Another fellow’s gal.
- No killin’.
- Watch yer mouth.
- Don’t take what ain’t yers.
- Don’t be hankerin’ for yer buddy’s stuff.
That’s kinda plain ‘n simple don’t ya think?
