Discouraging end of the week as I came to find out one of the teacher's I often go to for my own edification self reported an inappropriate relationship between himself and another woman. There are not any further details right now, but it is something that has seemingly disqualified him from his current teaching position at Trinity Bible in Dallas.

I am taking it as a good reminder to stay vigilant for both myself and men I walk with in daily life, especially when it comes to things of this nature. I thought I would share with you all as we can often think that things like this cannot happen to us.

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
- 1 Peter 5:8

It has also humbling since my knee jerk reaction was to be angry, but at the end of the day we are all broken. I am praying for his family and all of those who have been impacted by his ministry - that the follow up to this would be a story and picture of repentance, similar to that of David.

"The wisest man in the Bible fell into sexual sin, the strongest man in the Bible fell to sexual sin, and the godliest man in the Bible fell to sexual sin. For me to think I'm above falling into this sin is to think that I'm wiser than Solomon, stronger than Samson, and godlier than King David.

Sorry for this situation. And thank you for the reminder for vigilance. I know all to well similar temptations and I've chosen to accept it as a cross Our Blessed Lord wishes me to bear to hone me. Staying humble. Praying more. Relying upon Him more and more.
