Today in Forgiveness and Reconciliation class at Princeton we dealt with the subject of human sex trafficking. After seeing the film Love Justice featuring a band of churches working together along with the Y.A.N.A. Project, a secular nonprofit organization to provide outreach and counseling services to women involved in prostitution, it's safe to say prostitution is based on supply and demand. The question became how do we minimize the demand? The film highlighted the fact that most johns are Caucasian, professional men from the suburbs, with wives and families at home.

It has been awhile since my last blog... Truly the activeness of life has made it rather impossible with keeping up with this medium. In that time I have begun teaching sexual education/relationship etiquette classes in the church. Also, completed research to begin doing the same with the severely mentally ill and am embarking on a journey of constructing a healthy theology of sex as my senior thesis. I share this not to highlight the reasons for my absence, yet to say, we all have a part to play in reshaping how we, others, view the body... express our sexuality.

THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST

Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't thinkI'm overreaching at all.

In reading the article linked above titled, Baby Cut out of Mother's Womb Found, 2 Arrested, I am moved by the various layers of pain. Miss Haynes who was 8 months pregnant, was found stuffed in a closet, her baby cut from her belly and taken. Unfortunately, this is not the first time such a story has been reported. So, it causes me to wonder about the psyche of the person(s) that would do such a thing.
