Happy New Year & CTR Wallpaper!

We are aware of the blessings that information and technology can be in our lives in our modern day. The ability to research family history, listen to General Conference, read the scriptures, and look up Ensign talks online can help us grow and progress spiritually.

We are also aware of the tremendous risk that individuals and families take by having computers and the internet in our homes. Pornography, chat rooms, and anti-Mormon literature are easily accessible and can destroy the soul. In the March 2001 Ensign, William C Porter wrote: "When we ignore the urge to satisfy curiosity about things the world may consider acceptable, we build strength to resist temptation and show that we value gospel standards."

In an effort to make 2009 a great year full of spiritual progression and faith-building experiences, we want to do what we can to help resist temptation. CTR Ring Shop has teamed up with Elvtech, a Utah web design company and created a FREE, eye-catching CTR wallpaper background for your computer! We believe that having CTR on our fingers and our computers will help us choose the right.

Little Things Make A Difference

I became a member in 2003 same year I married my eternal husband. I bought my first CTR ring, and one of my brothers came from Samoa for a holiday, he saw my ring and asked what C.T.R. stood for. I told him it means Choose The Right and explained to him that in our lives we have many temptations but we should always know what's right an what's wrong and we must then Choose The Right. My brother went back home and took the CTR ring of mine with him. In December of 2005 I heard great and exciting news that my brother decided to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a blessing from above. I cried with tears of joy knowing in my heart that just that little talk I had with my brother about the CTR changed his whole life. I would like to share with all the brothers and sisters out there that no matter what you say or do; it's the little things that make a difference. I leave this with you all in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

A Grandmother And Her Missionary

I am a grandmother. Through out the years I have given CTR rings to my primary classes, my grandchildren. The children are excited to receive a CTR ring and want to do what is right. They are usually troubled when they loose their little adjustable ring. Now I am a grandmother of a new missionary. He requested a "designer" CTR ring before he left on his mission. What a wonderful surprise for him when he receives this beautiful ring. What a feeling in my heart to have a grandson out on a mission. He expressed how glad he was that his family suggested he go on a mission and that he would be a changed person when he returns. Life is good.
