We travel on Wednesday from Gallilee to Jerusalem. On the way, we stopped at Megiddo. Megiddo is the town that overlooks the Valley of Jezreel. It was a Canaanite city, then occupied by others until King Ahab. The book of Revelation says the last battle will be fought in the valley of Megiddo or Jezreel. WE walked down through the water springs. This is were the city got its water. In case of seige it kept a water supply. It makes one wonder about how much carnage must happen in a valley as big as this if the blood of men will reach the bridles of horses. Let us pray that we can make peace and not war!
Back in the day, when people walked through the neighborhood, we would speak to people sitting on their front porch. The porch was the place to people watch and meet and greet your neighbor. As a child, it was the vantage point from which to watch the world go by.
