CTR Ring Shop.com Blog!

My name is Brandon and I am the owner of CTR Ring Shop.com, a website that sells CTR rings. I created this blog because in the process of selling CTR rings, I had the opportunity hear so many inspiring CTR ring related stories. I figured there are enough Latter-day Saints with uplifting stories that could inspire so many others, as they have me. Through these stories, we can truly learn what CTR means. Feel free to share your story and check back often, as a new story will be posted as often as often as possible! Enjoy!

The Market

I was wearing my CTR ring, when I went to the market. Being that the LDS religion is at the forefront because of our Presidential elections, my checker recognized my CTR ring as a sign of my faith. She asked are you Mormon? I said yes. She said she wanted to know more about what we believe in.. I really didn't have time, but promised to return or send Missionairies to see her!! My CTR ring was a very useful Missionary tool!!!

Homecoming Football Game

During my Senior year in High School, I was hanging out with some friends after we won our Homecoming Football game. We were all exhausted from playing the game, and were relaxing at a good friend of mine's house. I was the only LDS guy there. They busted out some beer, vodka, and weed and said, "Come one Pretasky, one drink won't kill ya! No one will ever find out!" It wasn't whether or not anyone else would know, but I knew I would feel guilty and my Father in Heaven would know, as well. I got up and told them I wasn't gonna drink, and it was late so I had to go home. As I left, I felt good deep inside knowing I had done the right thing in following the Word of Wisdom. They all respected my decision to not drink, and I haven't been asked since.

Take me to the Temple

Last week, I spent a night out with an old friend of mine. I know it wasn't the wisest thing to do especially when I'm waiting for my missionary. For the sake of generousity, I went. As soon as we got to our destination, I looked down at my ring & immediately felt the spirit strong telling me to stop and explain to this old friend the promises I've made to my missionary and to share with him what I really want in a future companion. Which is having them take me into the temple. So I did. Although this old friend of mine didn't agree as much, I couldn't explain how happy and relieved I felt!!

Movie Theatre

I was sitting in the movie theater with a bunch of my really close friends. The movie started playing and I just felt the spirit leave immediately. I knew I should get up and leave. It was hard at first because I was worried about what my friends would think of me, but then I looked down at my hand that had my CTR ring on it and I thought, I need to choose the right. So I got up and left the movie theater without looking back.

I felt so good that I had made the right choice and I know that I have been blessed by doing what Heavenly Father wants me to do.
