Charlton Heston and the Ten Commandments


Charlton Heston died this past Saturday at his home in California. As I read the blogs about him many of them were about his role with the National Rifle Association so much was said about gun control. As an actor he will be remembered for a number of roles including John the Baptist in The Greatest Story Ever Told, Ben Hur for which he won an Oscar in 1959 and Moses in The Ten Commandments. I think most people will be able to name more of his movies than they can commandments. The movie was only a movie but the Ten Commandments are the Words of a Living God.
