Today's post is for all my South African friends celebrating Youth Day and remembering the Soweto Uprising of June 16, 1976. It is also a time to remember and pray for Nelson Mandela - an exemplary visionary and an extraordinary human being. He wrote: "As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison." Profound words to lead a broken country out of apartheid and words that can still inspire us today.
