The Kings Park Peace Gathering
The team made their way to the Kings Park Rugby Stadium with great excitement. I looked around in awe. Hundreds of farmers and their workers were arriving at the grounds. They came from every corner of KwaZulu-Natal; a tremendous spirit of optimism filled the grounds as they set up their caravans and tents.

The Day Dad Found The Lord
"Dad, I really love you," I said. I had never been able to say that before. We were raised with the 'stiff upper lip’ and 'cowboys don't cry' attitude. I put my arms around him and gave him a hug.
"Dad, do you know you are dying?" I asked him. "I do," he replied.
