I have always thought it strange that the past few years we have vacationed in W. Va. Growing up in Ohio, two of my best friends were from there. Virgie, whos real name was of course Virginia, and Cathy, who I know reads this blog occasionally. WE just got back from there this past week. We went to Wheeling and we do really enjoy it there.
This morning I received this email from our ministers wife, thought it appropriate. I don't think she knows we had been there.
"Some people in West Virginia have trouble with all those 'shalls' and 'shall not's' in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms.. So, some folks in West Virginia got together and translated the 'King James' into 'County' language..... no joke, read on...
The Hillbilly's Ten Commandments (posted on the wall at First Baptist Church in Summersville, West Virginia)
(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 "
