  • Gates -The Rubbish Gate

    Just as the name suggests this gate which Nehemiah rebuilt was the one used to get rid of the rubbish and waste from the city. The rubbish has to go somewhere. I don’t know about you but even after being a Christian for over 40 years, I am still a work in progress. Working out…
