There was once a very sick old man that had spent all of his life working for the railroad. <br />One night, he peacefully drifted off to sleep for the last time. <br />The next morning, he found himself sitting on a bench in front of a little depot out in the middle of no where. <br />In the distance he began to hear a rumbling thunder, and then a whistle blow with the sound of ten thousand trumpets. As he looked up into the sky he saw a light brighter than the sun growing closer. <br />The rumbling grew louder and the ground began to tremble and shake, and what ever this thing was it was headed in his direction. <br />As it came in and landed upon the rails, the old man realized that it could only be one thing, the Heavenly Express coming to take him to judgement. <br />As it pulled into the depot and stopped, the old man stood in amazement at the sight of the great white train all trimmed in gold and silver. <br />The conductor called for "tickets please" and invited the old man aboard. He replied that he had no ticket, but the conductor smiled and responded-you've always had a ticket on this train and showed him to his seat. <br />So up and away into the sky the great train went, taking the old man to glory. <br /> <br />This is to my friend Mac, may he rest in eternal peace. <br /> <br />trainluver1
