The Randy Sparks Story
You know, friendship at any age is important, but sometimes it becomes too important—dangerously important. Young people are often tempted to compromise their personal convictions, endanger their health or physical safety, and jeopardize their well-being because of undue pressure from friends.
It may be difficult to imagine a life that does not always include your friends, but I can tell you that after graduation, lives go in very different directions.
