On the 18th of April, 1980, Zimbabwe, my home country, declared independence from Britain.

First in the Sabbath School Bible study guide two weeks ago, and then for vespers last Friday, prayer’s been a hot topic of late.

Somewhere along the line, perhaps almost a decade ago now, my mother and I developed a tradition.
