Nike Free -- I Would Run To You - YouTube

Nike Free -- I Would Run To You - YouTube:
Awesome Video. Came across this video. My wife and i both love to run and this made me laugh. I probably won't ever show it to the middle schoolers i work with, but it has a great message in it as well. We, the guy in the video, desperately need God to pursue us, because we fail every day at pursuing Him and his ultimate act of pursuit was the gift of His Sons life, death and Resurrection. Praise God for the Gospel.
