The things we take for granted are the things that other people pray for – that’s what I keep realizing.

It’s 1  : 29  PM on day 1427 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go back to bed, pray, read Psalm 115, feed myself egg with bread for breakfast, read the newspaper,  publish my Disability of the Day feature and  publish my Kid of the Week feature.

This morning I read that religious minorities in Iraq are facing possible genocide it was in that moment that I truly appreciated being South African this country has its share of problems but everybody who lives here has freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of association.
