What kid wouldn’t love to be superman? There is something good born into boys that makes them want to save the world. Here is the problem.

We all know that bad friends can lead us astray, and take us places where we never intended to go. Stupid rubs off! In his book “Simplify,” Willow Creek Pastor Bill Hybels devotes an entire, long chapter to choosing your friends carefully. He says that your friends are part of what makes your life complicated […]
