While out driving from one place to another this past week, a song came on the radio which reached out and grabbed the driver’s attention.
WHY was this?
Perhaps it was because the chorus seemed to be REPEATED endlessly and the chorus made up MOST of the song.
The chorus went something like this:
“Don’t you know that diamonds are a girl’s best friend?”
After about the 40th or 50th time of hearing this line repeated, a thought then got stuck in the driver’s consciousness.
That thought was:
“One usually finds one’s friends (whether they are BEST friends or not) from that which SURROUNDS the one looking for friends–and what is IMPORTANT to that person.”
Which all leads to TWO QUESTIONS FOR THE READER.
1- What does the reader think is MOST IMPORTANT to the singer?
2- Does the singer believe that diamonds will make her happy (or happier)?
[NOTE: IF memory serves, this did NOT appear to be the song version done by Marilyn Monroe. From the archives: the song which appeared on the radio did NOT have many lyrics other than the one written about. The Marilyn Monroe version had many more lyrics.]
ONE FINAL QUERY:
Does the reader have any thoughts on this topic?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
