As the weeks after Camp pile up on me, i began to think and ponder the things i learned. and one thing still stuck in my mind. Every night at Eagle Fern, we had a discussion, called hot topics. One of the nights we talked about Media. Music and all that stuff that Teenage girls bury themselves in. now, i never quote from secular songs, and i definetely wouldn't copy from this song, i won't even tell you what the song is it's so againts everything God stands for. But one part of the song shot out at me. it wrenched my heart, i honestly felt like crying. it said...

Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kinda cute

Chivalry.
The medieval system, principles, and customs of knighthood.
The qualities idealized by knighthood, such as bravery, courtesy, honor, and gallantry toward women.
A manifestation of any of these qualities.
A group of knights or gallant gentlemen.

Chivalry is dead. Is that true? Is it possible to step outside and find Chivalry in a man? It was really hard for me to sit there and watch this music video, with girls throwing themselves at guy's while that phrase was echoing through my mind. How sad God must've been.
