evidence: They used to tell me to "guard my heart" when I was growing up. Protect it. Don’t give it to anyone who will hurt it, or not treat it carefully and gently. [...] Don’t share too much of yourself to people who can’t be trusted, because your heart is sensitive and easily bruised. [...] The cynic in the back of my mind gathers up her weapons, and she’s just been begging to use them, because I told you so, Laura Jean. It happens again. And it happens again. And the money-machine of the white evangelical church will keep churning. Throw your middle fingers to the sky, and "let your heart be hardened," because this sure isn’t worth it, and it will happen again.
