The nature of my job often puts me in a position where I could choose trouble if I wanted to.




You know, when I was a kid in Catholic school, the nuns used to talk to us about "avoiding the near occasion of sin". As a kid, this used to seem terribly unfair to me - after all, if I did nothing wrong, what did it matter if the person next to me did? I shouldn't be punished for it, right?

Now, as an adult, I understand what they meant. You don't PUT yourself in positions where sin is likely. In a marriage, that means you don't have friendships with the opposite sex that don't include your spouse, you don't hang out with people who have bad values and do bad things, you don't put yourself in positions where it is likely you will slip.

Maybe this means you need to change something about your work, or about how you conduct yourself when travelling for work?

(BTW - I know it's embarrassing, but go to your doctor and get checked for sexually transmitted diseases, and ask for antibiotic prophylaxis - preventive antibiotics - for chlamydia, a disease which may have no symptoms in men but causes infertility in women).
