You are all right. Thanks for the advice. I'm not going to say anything and I'll be praying for them.

This may be kind of adult. If this is considered inappropriate, mods, please delete it, and I apologize. I don't want to offend anyone. I have been friends with this guy for over seven years now. After I was saved a couple years ago I stopped hanging out with him as much because he is not a Christian and does a lot of things I don't approve of. I just don't want the negative influence. I do however talk to him on the phone occasionally to touch base and ever once in a great while my husband and I will spend time with him. A couple of days ago my husband and I went fireworks shopping with him. On the way home we got stuck in traffic and he told me he wanted to show me a video he took on his phone. It was horrible and stomach churning. He had secretly taken video of this young woman, barely an adult, exposing herself and letting him touch her chest in exchange for an illegal substance. Honestly, I have no idea why he showed me this. He knew I would disapprove of something like that. I stared in disbelief for a brief moment and then told him I don't want to see crap like that. Then he told me he was keeping the video in case she started drama with him. I was speechless for the rest of the trip home. My problem is not with what to do about him. This was the final straw and I will NOT be speaking to him anymore. My problem is that I feel like I should contact this woman and tell her what he has done, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not. I'm afraid for one, that she won't believe me. I have met her once before and she later told my former old friend that she didn't like me. Two, I'm afraid of how he will react when he finds out I said something. My husband says it will only cause problems if I say something to her, but I feel guilty knowing this and not saying something. I feel so bad for her. She is 19 years old, had a horrible childhood where she was abused by her father and she has drug problems. My former friend is 31 years old and is taking advantage of the poor girl. The one thing I remember about the video is the sad look on her face. I don't know what to do.

I really like the Randy Travis version of "Through the Fire" when things are getting tough for me.

Overcome the fears I have that are hindering my ability to enjoy life to the fullest See my children grow up See my brother accept Jesus as his savior
