"One of the things that pastor said to me in Teen Challenge, “If you go shoveling mud with a pair of white gloves, you can be guaranteed that those gloves are going to get muddy, not the other way around. The mud’s not going to get 'glovey'. You got to be careful, too, who you hang out with and places you go.” I had to learn to separate myself from a lot of the places I went, the people I hung out with, because even that in itself can really weigh on your spirit."
