Jeremy and the Ten Do Not's

By Bobbie Cottle and Gil Balbuena Jr.

Jeremy is a twelve-year-old boy who struggles accepting the purpose of the Ten Commandments. At the beach, he experiences an exciting poetic fantasy on a sand dune mountain and receives insights into some of the reasons God gave us these rules.

It was eons agoor longer than that.
God was watching as Moses sat,
Brewing, stewing and agitating
Mumbling, grumbling and contemplating
What to do with the people he led
For their behavior is driving him mad!
They were fussing and cussing and acting so poorly
That Moses wanted for certain and surely
To show them a way to be happy again,
But what could he do? How should he begin?
