Summer of TOMS.
Me and my pair of TOMS have traversed the states this summer. From California, to Colorado, to Virginia, back to Colorado, I never go anywhere without them. (so. comfortable.)

Rejecting apathy.
"After returning to the states, I emailed our contact in Cambodia to see if he could send me any “relics” from sex slavery in Cambodia for a human trafficking museum I was opening in Missouri. The next week he emailed me back and told me about some pajamas he recently recovered in a brothel raid. They belonged to a 7-year-old girl in the village where he was based. The only problem, he explained, was that they were still stained with her blood from sexual abuse.
When most men first start looking at pornography, they often fail to consider the consequences of their actions. But the other end of pornography is the blood-stained pajamas of 7-year-old girls."
Benji Nolot, Does Modern Slavery Start at Home? @ Reject/Apathy
Benji Nolot brought those pajamas to The Call Sacramento last year.
Every time I read something about sex trafficking something burns inside of me. Just thinking of a girl being paid for a service, like a machine, makes holy indignation rise up inside of me.
And I know it is His heart beating inside of me, breaking inside of me.
At The Call, Benji spoke to the crowd of about 10,000 or so. He described the injustice. For some reason, details made it more tangible. When the senses are activated, so is the heart. Actually seeing the pajamas before us, a holy weeping swept across the entire assembly. The weight of a holy heart breaking bore down upon us along with the intense physical heat of September in Sacramento. We prayed. A spirit of intercession like I had never experienced before rested upon us as “groans that words cannot express” wracked our bodies. Tears. Sweat. Snot. There were no holds barred as the heart of the Father poured out upon His children.
Reading this article reminded me of the impartation given that day, fanned the flame of His heart in mine, to care, to do justly, to reject apathy.
