With the hustle and bustle of life and with so many choosing to pick apart things of no real significance, we have to be careful to continue to seek the Heart of God on matters. From the state of the economy to personal life issues.
I say this because the way I see it, if we make it a goal to continue to seek His Heart and love Him and be more like Jesus every day, we will stay out of a lot of trouble.
I heard a pretty disturbing radio show about a week ago while driving in my car. The topic was human trafficking and it went into great detail how it’s done and how common it is right inside the US and even here in Cali. They were talking about how there is no need to go outside the Country anymore, it’s so easy to get away with it right here in our backyard. It’s a huge money making business for the people who do this, what really got me though was…
They told a story of a 12 year old girl who was befriended by an older man. As time went on, the girl began to trust this man and soon later he took her away and sold her into the sex industry. By age 14 she had been arrested with charges of prostitution numerous times. The craziest part about the whole thing was that the guys or should I say her pimps never once got in trouble. But yet, this 14 year old girl who was kidnapped and sold into slavery is the one with the big police record. Something is seriously not right with that. These little girls and boys are tortured beyond anything you would ever want to think about.
Something that was brought up in this show was that there was a lack of SAFE places to truly help these girls.
I bring this up because, we need to be praying for this serious problem, we need to be seeking the Lord’s heart and going to war for these kids that never stood a chance.
So I am asking each one of you that read this blog, seek the Lord and see if this is your fight. Because unfortunately when things are kept secret no one thinks to pray.
So let’s stop bickering amongst ourselves over stupid matters and remember we are in a real war, let’s act like it! We must never take our Freedom for granted, too high of a price was paid.

Human Trafficking is the second largest industry in the world…behind Drug Trafficking.
Aneheim CA. (DinseyLand) Comes in 10th place, in the WORLD for Sex-Tourism. That’s our back yard. We plan on taking a trip down there soon to see where we can join the fight.
Right on Nate. We’ll have to talk more about that. Maybe tomorrow if you come by the shop.
Like I always say…If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.
Makes me heart ache and blood boil all at the same time. Anaheim puts on a conference dealing with these issues and I am going this year. I just know Paul this is one of the many scourges in our midst and it is one of the highest offenses to humanity and duty to be a societal change agent.
