Most things in life seem to center around who you know, what you know, or what you do. But the most important thing is who you are (character/integrity). If you make all your important decisions in that category first, the other areas will fall into place. If you do it out of order…. you already provided an example.

Speaking from personal experience, you are right on target. I said many time that we’re all an eighth of a second away from doing something really stupid and it making the front page. In my case, it was fourteen days in a row; most above the fold.

While it ended a life I had known for over fifteen years, it didn’t completely end my life. There’s a line in a popular movie that says, “You can get busy living or get busy dying.” I decided the former was better than the latter.

You bring out some important points, but finding an accountability group is most important. While your spouse needs to be a big part of that process, having a small group of Christian friends of the same sex you can speak frankly with is recommended. My goal in my upcoming memoir is to capture your comments and expand on others so we never forget in this electronic age, just about everything we say and do can be preserved and viewed for as long as our world exist. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for your post!
