Praying for Madiba

Nelson Mandela remains in critical, but stable condition as of the news today. This past Saturday, we decided to go pay our respects to him at the hospital that he is staying in Pretoria . It was such a somber feeling walking up to the make shift memorial of artwork, prayers, letters and cards from people of all ages and places. The hospital was swarmed with reporters and I completely understand his family's plea for privacy, but how can someone who has touched so many lives go unnoticed when so ill? What a man, what a legacy. We pray for the best and that the people of South Africa honor him with peace, just as he has taught us to.
