I’ve seen a lot of trains in my life and I’ve had to sit and wait many times while a seemingly endless line of rail cars slowly rolled past me at a crossing.

Well, the train you’ll see in the short video below is probably unlike any train you have ever seen before. I know it was a new one for me. [Read more…]

“…For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.“

-–James 4:14

Have you ever walked through a local cemetery and looked at the headstones of the folks who passed away a century or more ago?
