The Ten Commandments?

I think oftentimes we struggle with aligning our lives to Christ because all we typically see is a big list of don'ts. But what if we examine Scripture in a slightly different way and try to see what God was really saying to us through those 'rules'?

1. Love God with your thoughts.
2. Love God with your eyes.
3. Love God with your words.
4. Love God with your time.
5. Love your parents.
6. Love other people and cherish life.
7. Love your spouse and cherish them.
8. Respect OPP.
9. Love your neighbor.
10. Respect your neighbor.

I mean, honestly, is that such an exhaustive list of things that we need to do? But therein lies the beauty of it. We don't have to. It's a choice. All God is trying to do, it seems like to me, is show us how best to live together with Him and others. Just my thoughts.
