I don’t feel like I need to add much to it — but definitely watch it. Oh how it makes me think of the race that we’re running here on earth…this life…running towards our ultimate goal and prize — eternity in Heaven with our savior.

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.

This verse mentions stripping off the sin that trips us up. Certainly that can be our own sin…which there is plenty of. But in this world — it too can be the sin of others…betrayal, abuse, painful/hurtful words, rape, and so much more. Anyway — I could type and type but the video says it all. Watch and enjoy as this runner, trips, falls, and rises again to not only finish the race…but WIN!

That’s how I want to run this race on earth!!!
