Good time friends are around when times are good, fun and exciting.
As long as things are good, healthy and promising they will be around.
The trouble is that times cannot possibly be good, healthy and promising constantly.
There are plenty of times in life that are just blah or even troublesome.
When those times come, good time friends usually move on. They are off to find someone else to entertain or satisfy their selfish, consumer mentality appetites.
True friends, however, are always with you. They are there to celebrate victories, but also there to pick you back up once you have been knocked down. Mickey Goldmill was a true friend to Rocky Balboa.
Just as there are good time friends, there are good time husbands, good time wives, good time parents, good time church members, good time employees, good time customers.
If you can entertain them and continuously give them what they want, they will stick around. If not, sayonara.
Remember, after Jesus fed the 5,000, they showed back up in the morning wondering when breakfast would be served.
True is better than good time.
