Who do you assocciate with

"..."Don't you think I can resist peer pressure?"
"Why exhaust yourself resisting peer pressure? Just get the right peers!"
Even Sarah seemed scandalized this time. "What?"
"I said, get the right peers!"
"I don't understand," said Mary.
"God didn't make us to be immune to the influence of other human beings," I explained. "He gave us social natures. The way to resist bad pressures isn't to pretend that you're made of steel. You resist bad pressures by putting yourself in the path of good ones. So, as I said, you need the right peers."

I was with my cg yest and during the conversation, a girl pop out a question to one of the guys....
"There are two gals who's interested in you. One is a non-christian, she's pretty and interesting. The other, a Christian, pretty too but quiet. Who would you choose? Would you consider the non-christian."
The guy paused for a moment to think and his answer was he might consider the non-christian but will assess the worldly gal if she's willing to go church...Shortly after that I left the group and I wonder what his final answer would be heh..
I found the article above awhile ago and thought it was interesting how the author illustrate the influence our frens have on us. What more the partner you choose for yourself one day. He/She will either build or break you. Why give yourself to "Maybe, If one day she/he will follow me to church" than to trust your father's good heart to give you the best at the right time...She'll be pretty, interesting and a Christian too =)
