One of my Christian friends once mentioned that there are two issues dear to his heart – God and girls.  I laughed, because I thought it was cute.

Well, I’ve realized that those two issues are very dear to my heart too, because I’ve found out how much it hurts when I hear guys saying less than respectful things about them.

I hate it when I get defensive, but I can’t help feeling it’s almost like a personal attack when my faith and my gender are treated so flippantly and disrespectfully.

I’m sorry, but it’s never a good time for that.
