Creation Inspirations Blog

Like most of you, I get my fair share of emails jokes and links that circulate around the net. Got one today that I actually hadn’t seen before and enjoyed it to the point that I was going to forward it, then I decided to share it with even more folks this way.  Though it’s in the humor category, it also shares a reminder that sometimes we Christians over complicate things and make things way more difficult than they need to be. It can’t get much clearer than this   Enjoy!

P.S. I have no clue if the statement about this being on a wall in a church is true but I left the email intact for now with respect to the originator  just in case.

The Ten Commandments

Some people have trouble with all those ‘shall’s’ and ‘shall not’s’ 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…….this is posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro , TN.

(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

Saturday is my birthday and to celebrate I’d like to do something different-I want to give someone else a gift and I hope you’ll help.

Here are the details:

My friend Marla Taviano (who I met as an Internet friend but then we got to meet in person because of 52zoos.com) and her cool family are going to Cambodia on a mission trip this summer. They’ll be traveling with a group from their church and as with most mission events participants need to raise funds to cover travel expenses. That’s where your help comes in.

For this weekend, starting Friday June 5th (my birthday) I will contribute part of the proceeds from any books I sell from my websites. I need purchases to be from my site and not Amazon or B & N because once they take their cut, there’s not much left over and I want to give more than that

There are two books available. First, you can purchase my family devotion/activity book Creation Inspirations: A New View of the World Around You on the store page of this site. You can see Marla’s review of it here. or on her website MarlaTaviano.com You can also find out more about her trip and find lots of other inspiring, faith filled and fun stuff to read there.

Second, if you’ve ever thought about writing & trying to get your own book out there, you can also pop over to Publishing Answers.com and pick up Publishing Possibilities which is a step by step guide to choosing the right path for you and your project.

I think that covers everything, but if you have any questions feel free to contact me via the form on either site or friend me/send a message on Facebook

If you can’t get a book right now, I totally understand. If you can offer the gift of prayer that would be awesome too.

Be Inspired!
