WEDNESDAY morning arrived earlier than my body thought it would. To further put me on the back foot, Jon walked in to my room with coffee, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, all kitted out in his running gear. I was more than disorientated.
Ten minutes later, we were on the tarmac with our old man, shuffling around the Cape Town suburbs, getting our cardio up to speed with the effects of the week. It’s always a good idea to get outside.
Part of the focus of this tour has been to meet new people. The plan was to meet up with my brother and sister’s church Life Groups. I was able to share and facilitate a session couched around Ephesians 5, which made for some great discussion. My siblings’ groups consist mostly of UCT students and young people from Jubilee, most on the brink of entering the working world. My then folks invited their group around as well…
…and before you could blink over 30 people arrived and were crammed into my folks’ lounge.
It was a real treat meeting younger and older generations, and to see what is happening in the lives of people in the Western Cape. There are some quality young minds in that crew. I came away from the evening thinking that if that calibre of people is in our tertiary institutions at the moment, the country is on the verge of something very promising and good.
