Bad Company

The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. - Proverb 12:26

Do you remember Bob Hayes, the man who was named "World's Fastest Human"?

He was a hero of 1964 Olympics, bringing home the Gold Medal in the 100 meter run, and being clocked at incredible 8.5 seconds in the final 110 yards of 400 meter relay run.

After the Olympics, he became an all-pro wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. His college coach said that if there had ever been a kid he wished was his, it was Bob Hayes.

Then, in April 1979 Bob was convicted of selling narcotics to an undercover agent. He received two 5-year prison sentences. He went from the pinnacle of success to prison.

According to Hayes, and those who cared most about him, his downfall was caused by his inability to choose good friends. The people he hung around gave him bad advice and got him into trouble.

As a rule, we usually reflect the thoughts and lifestyles of the people we spend the most time with. Who are you spending time with?
