Life is like a mountain railroad.
Do you remember that one?
Yeah.
Start that engine back there.
Listen.
Life is like a mountain railroad.
So that song says.
And folks, that's the truth, you know, because it starts out kind of easy.
You know, like childhood.
Not a whole lot to it at first.
Like a train leaving the station, build a little head of steam down through the valley.
Nothing too hard about it at first, you know, until you come to your first little hill.
Puberty.
And you go a little bit further and you hit a big mountain.
Marriage.
Well, then you crest the top of that thing and you picked up passengers.
You got kids.
From here on out, it's out of control.
But what you got to remember now is Jesus is the engineer.
And he's taking you all the way to glory.
Amen?
But hold on, folks, because life is like a mountain railroad.
All aboard.
All aboard.
All aboard.
All aboard.
All aboard.
Thank you.
Oh, here she comes around the bend, Mark.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Hang on.
