    This will absolutely move you to tears! It helps me keep this baseball stuff in perspective. You have to read the story before watching the video for the it to have any meaning. It's worth 3-4 minutes of your time!


    > A son asked his father, "Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me". The father, who despite having a heart condition, says "Yes". They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying "Yes" to his son's
    requests of going through the races together. One day, the son asked his
    father, "Dad, let's join the Ironman together." to which, his father said "Yes". For those who don't know, Ironman is the
    toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile marathon along the coast of the Big Island .

    Father and son went on to complete the Ironman event together. View this:

    That really puts things into perspective right there. You can really feel the Lord Jesus Christ working through that father to do what it takes for his son and having his heart condition.
