Rutledge - thanks for your comment. I'll have to disagree that there's anything extreme about having a free accountability software as a safeguard. I am susceptible to temptation, as anyone else is, and this is a great, simple way to be accountable. As the for the "idle time:" I spend a little bit of time every day surfing the web, reading news, blogs, etc. I think it's crucial to be aware of cultural trends and emerging ideologies. I think it was Spurgeon who said, "We should prepare our messages with a bible one hand and a newspaper in the other." (paraphrasing!). I agree with Spurgeon wholeheartedly! Do you? C.

Please don't misinterpret the comment; I applaud your efforts in trying to safeguard yourself, and in no way do I mean to be offensive to you. I totally agree with you about the safeguards. I feel that all men striving to live for Christ should guard themselves; however, I also feel that "Men of God" should not find themselves with such idle time on their hands(i.e.surfing the web) that they are "bored" and finding themselves in compromising positions. Hind sight is 20/20, and of course you now see how naive you were, but what about the next time your just looking around on the web? Guard your time as well as your computer. There are no safeguards out there that alert your wife and accountability partner to the fact that you had time to be productive with/for the Lord and didn't. May God Continue To Bless You.
