Hiring Prostitutes

I want to hire prostitutes.

Today I read an article on USA Today.  You can read it HERE.  I was so pissed off...pardon the language...and later decided it more represented 'righteous anger.'  I've witness injustice in sex trafficking in other countries, most people know it happens.  And I'm not ignorant of the fact that it happens in the USA.
Even though I don't see it with my own eyes in my neighborhood in Omaha, I know it happens.  This article moved me to tears, that any girl or woman should feel like she has to sell her body to live, to feel wanted, just reeks of Satan's schemes, and I closed the article (after sharing on both Twitter and Faceook) with a new resolve that 'I have to do something.' 

Obviously, if you're on this blog, you probably know that I want to open a coffee shop in the future that supports anti-sex slave trafficking organizations.  Today I was struck with a new idea.

I can hire prostitutes.

Now, this is all just a new revelation to me, so I haven't thought through particulars.  But what if I could open my shop in a building that has living quarters.  What if I could set up bedrooms, with donations.  What if I could go out at night, and invite girls/women who want a new shot at a different life, to come to Divine Cafe.  What if I could clothe, feed, and house them?  What if I could employ them at my coffee shop, paying them wages while not charging for housing, so that all the money they make can be saved to one day move out and live on their own?  What if I could give them experience, so they can find other jobs?  What if I could allow Jesus to change their lives?  What if my dream to not only support other organizations doing the work, could itself be an organization actively involved in seeing sex-slave trafficking ended?

Again, this is the beginning of the idea.  The dreams are in the clouds, and reality will likely reign them back to some extent...but for now let me be excited about the what-if's that I know God can make a reality if it's His will.

I Can Bake!

That sounds like the name of a beginners cookbook.  It's not, by the way, I looked it up on Amazon. 

There is however the "I Don't Know How To Cook"book for those who really care about my findings on Amazon.com.

Moving on.  Since going full-time at The Cazual Cup, I've been baking a lot more.  

The list of things I can successfully bake:
Scones (chocolate chip, lemon poppyseed, blueberry, cherry white chocolate, and cinnamon); Bundt Cake (lemon, butter pecan, and a cinnamon crunch); Blueberry and Apple Cinnamon Crunch muffins; Donut Muffins; Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes; Cookies (sugar, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle); and 7 Layer Bars.

Are you impressed yet?

To top it all off, I've only failed once!  (it was a traumatic day when the butter pecan filling was too close to the bottom of the bundt pan, thus tearing off the entire top of the bundt, rendering it useless...except then I ate it...because it still tasted good...it just looked horrid.)

Also, the owner has asked if I would ever be interested buying the shop.  Hello anxiety!  I do not have the money or resources!  But perhaps, in a year, I will have my life slightly more figured out, and can move on that option...

Also, there is a "Center for Intuitive Advancement" moving into the bays next door.  They're psychics, and healers, and yoga, and life coaches.  

I knew God had me here for a reason!
