A Good Story

My little brother saved all of his money from playing in the Sugar Bowl and the Music City Bowl for Alabama for 2 years so he could buy his girlfriend an engagement ring.

He was able to afford the setting a few months ago and only recently was able to buy a diamond.
He had the diamond put in the setting about 2 weeks ago. He got it back on a Saturday evening and put it behind his back truck seat so he could bring it to show us on Sunday.

That night his truck was broken into and they stole his dvd/cd player, his mp3 player, and the ring. He has cried for 2 weeks. Since he bought the ring online he had a picture of it and he put it on flyers around Tuscaloosa.

Last night he tried to call, but I was talking to "M" and didnt get to talk to him.
He called this morning and told me that he got home late because he made it from Tusc. to Meridian and had to turn around and go back before he could come home.

His investagator found his ring. A pawn shop dealer had seen his flyers and recognized the ring. He called the police and let them view the video of the guy trying to sell it to him. The investagator gave the guys picture to the entire task force and someone recognized the man trying to sell the ring. The cops went to the guys house and scared him. He said that he knew who stole the ring, but that it wasnt him and he's try to get it back. He called back 30 minutes later and told the cops to meet him at a lightpole downtown. When the investagator got there, the ring was sitting in its box by the pole.

My brother is a devote Christian and has been praying for God to show him that its right to ask his girlfriend to marry him. I'd say thats a sign.
