Writing Stuff and a Question

Hi Ya All, 


Imagine me saying that with an American accent ... cause I know when I get home you will all be saying "you sound American" and I will totally disbelieve you because I happen to know I lived in Australia for 5 and a half years and never started to sound like an Ozzy!!


So today I want to talk about writing; I restarted the novel today, I am sure you will all be delighted to know this, my aim is to write 1000 words a day and yes I will post more snippets, occasionally. Am writing the Jesus part cause I realised that the reason I have been having problems up to now is that I have been trying to write around the hole He leaves in the story, figured if I wrote Him in now then the rest should weave together more easily. 


I have also started writing an article that I am going to send into the Adventist Review - why not try my luck - It is called 'My Thoughts On Singleness' and I will be posting it in the few days here for some critical feedback before I send it in, (But Mum you are NOT ALLOWED to comment, either on FB, here or in words!!) - don't think that I have such a wide readership that posting here will spoil my chances of publication. LOL. Any way to aid me in my new career of article writing I have a question, which may seem strange but when you read the article you will see how it fits.


But first the background; I used to rank the ten commandments in order of importance, yes I knew we had to obey them all but I still thought some were more important than others, The Sabbath one was totally at the top because we emphasis it so much as Adventists I guess, and YES, I have grown up a bit and don't rank them now. So what I want to know is;


If you were to rank the 10 commandments in order of importance, which one would be at the top? and, which one would be at the bottom? (to be perfectly honest I am most interested in your bottom ranking.


To help you answer this question, here they are, direct from Exodus 20;


1.    ³Thou shalt have no other gods before me.


2.  ⁴Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ⁵Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; ⁶And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.



3.  ⁷Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.


4.  ⁸Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: ¹⁰But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:  ¹¹For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.


5.  ¹²Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.


6.  ¹³Thou shalt not kill.


7.  ¹⁴Thou shalt not commit adultery.


8.  ¹⁵Thou shalt not steal.


9.  ¹⁶Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.


10. ¹⁷Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.


Cheers for Tonight
