Some people have trouble with all those ‘shalls‘ and ‘shall nots‘ listed in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren’t used to talking in those terms. So, in middle Tennessee they translated the ‘King James’ into ‘Jackson County’ language…..no joke! Posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, Tennessee you’ll find the Ten Commandments listed this way…
(1) Just one God
(2) Put nothin‘ before God
(3) Watch yer mouth
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meetin‘
(5) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(6) No killin‘
(7) No foolin‘ around with another fellow’s gal
(8) Don’t take what ain’t yers
(9) No tellin‘ tales or gossipin‘
(10) Don’t be hankerin‘ for yer buddy’s stuff
Now that’s plain an’ simple. Y’all have a nice weekend now! Ye hear?
(Some of you have asked if you can post these on your blog. Yes, you can! I got them from my friend, Wendy, who received them through the Internet. So share away, friends!)

I love this post….You made me smile…
Hope you will stop by my blog again soon.
I am going to have a “card box” giveaway every month. This drawing will be the last day of April.
Every comment you leave throughout the month will enter your name in the drawing, so if you visit several times and leave several comments, you will have a better chance to win. This NEW blogger was so touched by all the comments I got on the Blog Party, that I decided to make this a monthly GIFT…
Also, if you link to my blog telling about the monthly giveaway, you will have your name entered 10 extra times…How is that for an incentive?
I was so blown away by all the responses that I wanted to email each person personally, but TIME… just has not permitted..but I did love reading all of them..I am continuing to introduce my family members and then there will be some fun blogs coming up from Disney World in May. I am so thankful for all my new friends.
