THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
"TEXAS STYLE"
People here in Texas have trouble with all those shalls and shall nots in the Ten Commandments. Folks here just aren't used to talkin' 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.
