CTR-Choose The Right

In our Mormon Church, when children reach the age of accountability, they are sometimes given a "CTR" ring or better known as the "Choose The Right" reminder. I think the "CTR" ring would be great to be included in everyone marriage ceremony. You could exchange the rings and wear them on the other hand from the wedding bands. It might cut down on the cheating that goes on in so many marriages, and the divorces.........I also think every politician, when they are sworn into office should be given one to wear. Maybe it would help them to remember all the promises they make and make better choices for the benefit of the country. Before anyone could be released from AAA or Drug rehabilitation it would be tattooed on their arm and even give them a ring to help make better choices. If you just give them the ring, they would probably sell it for money for more drugs or booze, so that is why the tattoo.

When my sister and I got divorces, another sister (married), sent us each a pretty "CTR" ring with the message, Just a reminder......Choose The Right One........next time! Consequently we neither one have remarried, and enjoyed a good laugh. Something as simple as Small ringcan become a BIG ANCHOR in your life. Making a hard choice, good or bad, as you wrestle with a decision, always look at or twist that Little ring around your finger a time or to, then go with that gut feeling. Choose The Right! In the end you will know you made the right choice.

The ring came into being nearly 50 years ago. The three little letters meaning "Choose The Right" inset on a green shield. It was an invention of eight church ladies of the Mormon church and incorporated into the churches teachings. The shield represents a shield from temptation in our life and the background was chosen from the evergreen tree. The reason being they remain constant as seasons change. "A constant reminder to avoid bad temptations at all times."
What a simple Metaphor to live by.
