Please pray for my vice president L and I as we continue to pursue a successful application to create a students agains human trafficking organization at our school.

We have both been experiencing quite intense spiritual attacks since the start of our work so we are definitely in need of prayers for protection and prayers for the removal of any obstacles in the way of our goals. Thank you!

Hey everyone! Today is Ash Wednesday, and you know what that means. The season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving is here! Let's get Lent rolling and bring our $6,000 dollars raised to $10,000! Please donate today!

(TW sex abuse/trafficking) Alright, so I’m going to put myself out there a little bit because I want you guys to know why I have been so insistent the last few days trying to get donations for O.U.R.

This is a picture of me at the age (4) that I was being abused and trafficked. I’m standing next to my primary abuser in this photo.(hence the tense posture.)

The abuse started and it was just him for a while, but he eventually took the camera out. The trafficking started pretty much as soon as the abuser started making CSEM with me. Soon enough, his friends would come over, pay/trade and rape me.

I was raped about 15 times a month, estimating on the lower side. I was hardly out of the toddler stage of development. But even so, my case is MILD.

Millions of children around the world are being raped 15 times or even much more a DAY. They are kidnapped or sold by their families never to see them again. They are often abused and neglected to the point of death while at the same time being used as objects and slaves.

But the point is, my case was still brutal and horrific. And if you want to talk about this happening “in your own backyard," I was the definition of those cases. Even though I was that tiny little thing still growing and becoming a person, it happened. And it's happening to millions of children at the same age or even younger (we are talking INFANTS).

So please know that when you donate to O.U.R. you are helping children around the entire world including those in your own community. So I’m asking please, for all those little girls just like me, do something to make a difference (preferably contributing to this fundraiser). Thank you.

The dark (chocolate) night of the soul.

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: Traditionally, on Valentine's Day, couples buy each other gifts and sweets to show their love.  Emo Emi, being chronically unlikable but also a chocoholic, has resorted to buying herself enough chocolate to put her into two consecutive comas.  She's looking forward to those comas until her parents' darned RELIGION gets in the way.  You see, this year, Valentine's Day falls on Ash Wednesday.  For Christians, Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting, which means no meats, and no sweets.  In this cartoon, Emi vents to her friend, Olga, about how having all this chocolate and not being allowed to eat it is the absolute height of Christian suffering.  Olga tries to chasten Emi by reminding her that some Christians suffer far worse fates than a day without chocolate -- some even die for their faith.  However, in her delusional state of grief, Emi would much rather the death.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Oops, I've done it again.  It's another "Tomics Resurrection" where I redraw a cartoon from a few years ago and, like God on the sixth day, take it from GOOD to VERY GOOD.  This one is from 2018, the last time this same combination of holidays occurred.  Back then, Emi's personality was still in flux.  Now that she's become a more defined character (petulant pseudo-intellectual Christian-wanna-not-be), I had to adjust the dialogue a little, but I think I've kept the same spirit.  Also, back in ye olde yeare ofe 2018e, I apparently didn't respect any semblance of character continuity, so Emi's shape and colors change drastically between the first and second panels.  Must've been a rush job.  Poor 2018 Tom.  Such a child.  Anyway, how do YOU think the new compares to the old?

Prayer request

Y'all one of my sister's friends is on her way to the ER because she lost peripheral vision in one eye. The doctor is concerned it may be a sign of a stroke on the way. This same friend just had a baby not too long ago and it was a grueling experience, she was also diagnosed with some kind of pre-eclampsia. So yeah, pray that it's not a stroke, or that if it is a stroke, that she may recover quickly. And pray for her husband and newborn daughter.

Thanks all

May God's will be done!
