As some of you might know, my boss has had a problem with lust, and pornography. This was especially hard for me, because I struggle with it as well. Anyway, over the last few weeks I noticed he was spending more time on the pc than usual. I checked it out and found he was having a conversation with a woman from the US. Their convo wasn't exactly appropriate. Finally I couldn't stand it any more so I sent him an email explaining that I wasn't going to judge him because I have the same struggle. But I was going to let him know that it couldn't continue. If he was planning on carrying on the relationship with that woman, I would have to find work elseware because I couldn't stand the hypocrisy. He called me at home in the evening, and said he wanted to talk. When he came over the first thing he did was thank me. He said he didn't even realize how far away he had gotten until I slapped him back into reality. We both agreed to keep eachother accountable, and I took over his e-mail accounts. He told me he would periodicly ask me how I was doing, just to make sure I didn't fall into temptation here at work. I thought that was great. So everything is in the open, and the secrets are gone. I even came clean to my wife. Not every gory detail, but I did explain the hold porn, and lust has on me and she was amazing. She said she knew what I was talking about!? She said she struggled with looking at men. She didn't want to she just did. I told her that I could relate.
So things are great and I praise the Lord for allowing my wife and boss to respond to what I was saying with such grace.
Just thought I would mention.
God Bless

| Thanks for sharing that. We need more men in the body of Christ who are willing to take a risk like you did, and be honest with their weaknesses.

| He is. He is so great. I am so thankful I am in His family. Knowing your in an eternal family makes these earthly pleasures seem so meaningless.
