"What's your accent?"

As I travel speaking to groups and coaching business people, I encounter lots of different accents. A friend of mine knows I enjoy trying to identify the origin of accents. So he recently sent me the Ten Commandments re-written for cowboys from Texas, in an accent they can understand. With apologies to my friends in Texas who aren’t cowboys and girls, here they are:

1. Just one God.
2. Honor yer Ma & Pa.
3. No tellin’ tales or gossipin’.
4. Git yourself to Sunday meetin’.
5. Put nothin’ before God.
6. No foolin’ ‘round with another fellow’s gal.
7. No killin’.
8. Watch yer mouth.
9. Don’t take what ain’t yers, and;
10. Don’t be hankerin’ for yer buddy’s stuff.

Now the great thing about talking with God, your accent can be from Texas orTimbuktu and God understands you. So no worries about how you sound. Just talk with God who understands you every time.
