Real Life Dilemma: Mac has the Athletics but ReDee had the Academics

Talking with new found pal Ilyas Zylstra, a 6 foot, 2 inch and 201 pound former Mac baller from Brantford within the glory years 2002-05 (as did my former teammate fellows of the Hamilton Steel City Ironmen Chris Cubitt for 2003 and Rick Andrade for 2000-05), about the situation we got here and simply put I have all the confirmation I need proving exactly what I figured it was to be.

Mac has the mad crazy Athletics one must have in life to live, but ReDee has the mad crazy Academics one must have in life to live, so how does one square up these realities within this real life dilemma to make a long time decision?

Lots of prayer, discernment and guidance from God the Creator, Lord Jesus Christ the Saviour and the Holy Spirit Ghost the Indweller - that's it and all there really is!

He enjoyed his time over there at Westdale, doing the athletic thing for sure, all them gaining special treatment with some bling a bling with provincial championship rings and cup action, but here in Ancaster, he is getting special enrichment academically and intellectually one simply can't get over there, mainly because of the difference in secular and religious worldviewpoints, though McMaster originally was founded to be a teaching institution of Reformed Christianity as Conventional Baptists, it wasn't until 1957 when it was forced to become non denominational and drop religion altogether in 1968 deferring the business to its Divinity College Seminary, Redeemer on the other hand was also founded upon the ideals of Reformed Christianity as Dutch Netherland Reformers in 1982 and remains so, which likely is why this private institution on the Mountain is half as much in price materially than its public cousin in the Valley and will remain so for some time.

But getting a chance to wack the Varsity Blues of Toronto during the regular, knock off either Ottawa, Wilfrid Laurier or Western Ontario in the Yates then go on to kick some Club de Football Rouge et Or de l'Université Laval buttocks in a Vanier Cup between 2007 and 2012 at the Skydome or better yet Ivor Wynne Stadium would be priceless and really just be the bomb, returning a punt, kick off or missed field goal the whole distance, a Canadian 100.7 metres or 110 yards long with 18.5 metre or 20 yard end zones, for a touchdown a la Speedy Gonzalez and bringing some quick silver back home up here in Hamilton - just tout sweet.

I really love it at ReDee, this year has far surpassed the pathetic Holy Cross to Notre Dame analogy I simply used in the summer to explain the scenerio to family and friends, as the people on and off the campus at the school have truly made the difference, but what does Mac have to offer past the game as most pals who played the ball are now gone, a chance to kiss ring, drink from cup and taste metal, can it give the soul its spiritual food and sustenance, Ilz is a wise man, knows of where it just is at, so I best heed what he shares within the present time remaining and talks of from his previous experience - but also especialy listen to our Higher Faithful Power when He speaks of the coming future!
