Bling Bling, Diamond Ring…
For those of you who read the title of this post and thought that it’s an engagement announcement, sorry for the disappointment.
I just came back from an awesome long weekend spent at the CCC 5pm Church Houseparty. This year’s theme was on the topic of money, and Nathan ‘Wal’ Walter gave a series of talks on issues that we face today as (relatively) rich Christians living in a materialistic society.
Now, one thing that has pretty much been ingrained in our culture is the whole engagement ring issue – the sparkly is taken to be a prerequisite to proposal. If you don’t have one, don’t bother popping the question. And of course, the bigger and shinier, the better.
