As we drove through the mountains last week we stopped at Yoho National Park to see the spiral tunnels. These tunnels were built 100 years ago to reduce the grade for the trains from 4.5% to 2%. You could not help but marvel at what they accomplished 100 years ago. As I thought about the accomplishments of those men I had to stop and think about the Creator. Men may be able to build tunnels through the mountains but it was God who created the mountains. Man can be creative because he is made in the image of God but man's creativity is limited while God's is unlimited. It is a good thing to think about the accomplishments of these people but let us not forget the marvel of what God did.

I've always wanted to see the spiral tunnels. Did you get to see any freight trains go through them?
We saw three freight trains joined together going through the tunnels. It was amazing. Kent made a 7 minute video.
