COT
Recommend seeing the movie Sound of Freedom, about child trafficking. Tim Ballard worked for DHS to prosecute child pornographers, but realized he wanted to save the children. He quit his job and was able to free 50 to 60 children. Message is that if you see something that needs to be done, DO IT TODAY. Don’t wait until tomorrow.
