A terrible story yields a diamond<\/a>:<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, CNN host Anderson Cooper asked Ramsey what it felt like to find out that he had been living next to kidnapping victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cSee, that\u2019s why now I\u2019m having trouble sleeping,\u201d he explained. \u201cSee, up until yesterday, the only thing that kept me from losing sleep was the lack of money. See what I\u2019m saying? So now that that\u2019s going on, and I could have done this last year, not this hero stuff, just do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause there\u2019s a lot of people, they\u2019re saying you\u2019re a hero,\u201d the CNN host noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no, no. Bro, I\u2019m a Christian, an American, and just like you,\u201d Ramsey insisted. \u201cWe bleed same blood, put our pants on the same way. It\u2019s just that you got to put that \u2013 being a coward, and I don\u2019t want to get in nobody\u2019s business. You got to put that away for a minute. You have to have cajones, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper noted that the FBI had offered a reward for at least two of the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tell you what you do, give it to them,\u201d Ramsey said. \u201cBecause if folks been following this case since last night, you been following me since last night, you know I got a job anyway.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read it all<\/a>. God is never outdone in generosity; may he bless Mr. Ramsey abundantly. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
