Love,
Dylan
My mom took some pretty interesting notes at church this weekend, per usual. And I feel like these notes in particular were worth sharing. The topic was "Someone Worth Following" in a 4-wseries about friendship. And I think this can benefit anyone whether you are evaluating a friendship, a romantic relationship, or simply yourself. Ask yourself these 7 questions.
1. Are you a do-gooder vs. a do-badder? Character always leads.
