I know what you mean, Abi. I worked in a place that could be called a cesspool, and even some I would've counted as friends fell into sin. It was a harsh awakening for someone from a Christian college who thought that immorality/ unfaithfulness was just a tiny fringe minority of Christians. I think humility is one of the most important ways to keep from that kind of stumbling--humility and accountability and allowing--even INVITING--others to tell you when you're straying dangerously near the edge, flirting with danger. Better than walking someone through the fallout after adultery, as Carolyn McCulley says. Well, I'd better go 'cause my break's up. Bye for now! --Prudence Dagg
