Oops, there goes the engagement ring . . .

Ouch.  No making this sort of thing up.

A romantic engagement surprise turned into a moment of horror for a prospective Massachusetts bride Monday when she fumbled a $9,000 diamond engagement ring — and it disappeared down a rocky jetty below her.

Matt Cawley, a 31-year-old restaurateur from Deadham, Mass., was trying to make his proposal to 30-year-old schoolteacher Stacey Scanlon a memorable one. So he tied the family heirloom to an oversize sand dollar and placed it on the jetty at Bass River Beach in Yarmouth.

Cawley then took Scanlon for a stroll along the jetty, where he directed her attention to the sand dollar. “I had no idea whatsoever; we were just going on a morning walk,” Scanlon told TODAYshow.com.

When she saw the sand dollar, Scanlon said, “I went to pick it up and I heard something fall; I thought it was a rock. It was a rock! Just not exactly the rock I was expecting.”

Detached from the sand dollar, the ring tumbled down through the rocks. “It was a scene out of a movie: I can’t even describe it — it was unbelievable,” Cawley told TODAYshow.com. “I said as it was falling: ‘Stacey! The ring!’ And she said: ‘Wait — what ring?’ ”

The rest here.

If Jack Bauer was my pastor . . .

24 is over.  I say again, “It’s over.”

Still, for those of you who miss it, you may appreciate reflecting on what it would be like to have Jack Bauer as your pastor.  If you need help getting started, this post from Stephen Altrogge will jump-start your thinking.

The other day I was thinking, what if Jack Bauer became a Christian, and then suddenly felt a call to ministry?

What would his church be like? His counseling sessions? Here’s what I think it would be like…

  • Counseling sessions would be fast. Really fast. Because he only has two minutes, and you better tell him what’s going on or he’s going to mash your knee with his oversized Bible.
  • He would scream the word “now” a lot. As in, “Tell me why you were impatient with your wife. NOW!”

The rest here.

Ever feel like this?

I think the dull-hollow thud is the guy’s head hitting the floor

If you’re in a wedding, don’t lock your knees.  But, if you do, then it might look and sound something like you will see in this clip.  At no extra price, I’ve included a clip from The Princess Bride.
