A different kind of ring. . .

Tonight Carson and I took part in a ring ceremony that had a different significance in our lives. This ring ceremony was for our class rings. I signed up for it because is just seemed like the thing to do. It is possible to just order your class ring and get it in the mail, but Carson and I wanted to make our experience here as meaningful as it could be. The ceremony was much different than I expected. They had people tell stories about the significance of the ring in general, as well as what made their rings special for them. Some of the stories were very moving in that one guy sold his ring while fighting in World War II for food that ended up saving his life. So now as I type this message, my hands are equally weighted. On my left is a ring that signifies the commitment I will soon make to the man I love. On my right is a symbol of the Clemson family that is and was a very influential factor in shaping my life. What a great reminder of how much God has blessed me with.
