Remember a while back when I got all righteously indignant about blood diamonds? Yeah, well, I still am. Here are a couple of articles:

Now listen, I like diamonds as much as the next girl. But not at the cost of other peoples’ pain and misery.

And for those of you who aren’t innately world-minded and have some trouble understanding how it affects you and your country, check out this article on al Quaeda– it might bring things home for you.

The topic of engagement rings came up again over lunch today (a common occurrence when you live with five other Christian girls, four of whom are dating). Just think about it for a minute when you are deciding what kind of a ring you want. Let’s all be responsible, compassionate adults here, ok? I’ll stop preaching now.

Love you all. Peace out.
