Ray, 

I do believe that God is using you to minister to other similarly situated former pastors.  AND ... I also believe that with your experiences and heart for the "fallen," you can pray much more effectively for us who are in ministry and need to continually safeguard our marriages.  

All red-blooded male pastors are vulnerable to temptation.  Plainly, if it happened to you, then it can happen to me.  But it won't happen to me if I listen and learn from you.  Even if you never preach from a pulpit again, I would come to hear a seminar you give to pastors about the pitfalls of ministry.  

So hang in there.  And please continually for the rest of us to be faithful.  We need it.  We're not any different than you are.  May God show you your new calling.
