The Ten Commandments . . . Old West Style



1. There's just one Trail Boss . . . God.
2. Don't be hankering after other gods.
3. Watch yer mouth, partner!
4. Get yourself to Sunday meetings.
5. Honor yer ma and pa.
6. No killin' two-legged varmits. Let the law do it.
7. Don't be sparkin' another fella's gal.
8. Don't stick your brand on your neighbor's horses or cattle.
9. No tellin' tall tales or gossiping.
10. Don't hanker after another rancher's water, stock, or fancy spread.

I Pray you enough

I PRAY YOU ENOUGH
I pray you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I pray you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
I pray you enough faith to see the face of God.
I pray you enough hope when circumstances rob your vision.
I pray you enough love when love is all that can sustain you.
Above all, I pray you enough love!
1 Corinthians 13:13 (ESV) So now faith, hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Love your sister in Christ,
