There’s a time in every young man’s life when he must choose where his loyalties will lay. When he lays aside infatuations and affinities and gives himself fully to only one. When the opinions of others are mere buzzing flies swirling around his head to distract him from what his heart knows to be right. When he must choose which college basketball program to be a fan of.
For our son, that was at his birth. Acting on his behalf, we chose our alma mater Western Kentucky University. He’s already appeared in the Alumni magazine for WKU, dressed in a WKU sleeper alongside WKU mascot Big Red and next to a WKU towel.
And this weekend we added to his convictions (of which he is unaware) by dressing him in another WKU outfit. An outfit bought by friends of ours who work for WKU and have their season tickets right next to ours.
Freedom of choice is overrated.
