Here’s a link to a video over at Stuff Christians Like. It features Chris Tomlin, so I was expecting something serious. Wrong! It’s another parody along the lines of the Toyota ad and that one with the Dads. Can’t think of the title to either right now. But if your Monday is weighing you down, this will either make you …
