A great story that should be shared on this Sunday

Fox commentators, during the Saint's/Panther's game were talking about Saint's TE Ernie Conwell's generosity when he saw a couple in a store that had lost just about everything in the hurricane, including both their engagement rings. Mr. Conwell walked up to the couple and began to talk with them. After awhile, Mr. Conwell bought the couple two new engagement rings and was moved to tears when the couple tried to offer what little money they had in exchange for his generosity.

Now that is truly a great story to be shared on this Sunday. Especially since football, and even the Cowboys have become secondary in my life. We should all be thankful to God for our health and our loved ones.

Nice story, but I'm curious about one point. Why did they have two engagement rings?

kids should look up to.More role models needed.

Good question, maybe one was a promise ring.

Nice story Fletch. I hope all is well with your girlfriend. I know she's not been well recently.

I'd say one for him and her. I know its not common but some women buy the guy an engagement ring as well.
