So we get to that incredibly well-known moment in the Bible when God gives the Israelites His 10 Commandments. I've never been into learning about my religion until now, but I still remember learning the 10 Commandments in Sunday school when I was a little girl. And I feel like the 10 Commandments might just be the one part of the Bible that all Christians actually know. But I feel like most Christians don't realize that the 10 Commandments are accompanied by an assortment of other laws, too. And this gives me a whole new perspective on the whole story of Moses going up Mount Sinai and bringing down the Commandments on stone tablets.
In Sunday school and pretty much every learning environment I've ever been in, I was taught the 10 Commandments, and I was taught to keep them. Simply enough, not keeping the 10 Commandments was bad. But of course, I've struggled with keeping the Commandments just like every other person on Earth. I've taken the Lord's name in vain. I've never kept the Sabbath. I've lied, and I've had thoughts of "the grass is greener over there." But you know, I've always thought that if I truly made the honest effort, I'd be able to keep these particular Commandments that I've struggled with.
