The 10 Commandments

This morning the thought came to rewrite the 10 Commandments in my own words.  
So this is what came up for now... a work in progress.

1. Recognize and release counterfeit gods.  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Illuminate the image of God for others by what you do, why and how you do it.  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
3. Use all the varied names of God reverently.  Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember to keep the seventh day of each week holy and free from work.  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Show respect to your father and mother.   Honor thy father and thy mother.
6. Spare everyone including yourself.   Thou shalt not kill.
7. Keep your word.   Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Respect others' property and creations.  Thou shalt not steal.
9. Tell the truth.  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Be grateful for all aspects of your life's journey.   Thou shalt not covet.​​
