ABC didn’t cut his audio, he was praying all the way across Niagara, they didn’t even cut him complaining about the tether they made him wear. Only difference audio wise is they asked him some questions during the walk at Niagara and he opted out of that (could hear him tell his dad “I don’t want to talk to anybody”) last night.
excellent.........
Amen!!
And Peter walked on water until he took his eyes off of Jesus.
WOW indeed. I hope at 73 I can walk on the ground without being wobbly.
When he prayed for Jesus and God to give him the inner strength and calmness to complete his task I was with him all the way. When he prayed for them to stop the wind from blowing, not so much.
Excellent point!
Maybe the Muslims saw it worldwide.
First, I have no problem with someone doing something stupid, it is their life. If they want to risk it for some silly reason, go for it.
Having said that, I will not spend money or time to watch them risk their life.
I will concede it takes great skill and a certain amount of faith of ones skill to do this sort of thing. I do not however consider it brave. Heroics for no purpose is just being foolish.
But I may be alone in this opinion, and that is just what it is, one person’s opinion.
I get in trouble with the boss for not wearing protection with the leaf blower.Ruh roh! The boss is wise and protective. Nik Wallenda, not so much...
You can certainly hope...
;-\
And who is not at risk for death to happen - it's a guarantee it will happen?
Difference is with some and him... "My life is based on my faith. I guess the biggest role that it plays is that if I do fall and die I know where I'm going."
Is praying for the wind to subside any different from praying to God to get that job you really need or wanted? From praying that a loved one recover from injury or disease? God doesn't always give us what we want, but will always give us what we need. All we need to do is ask.
Nah, he should have gone with a red, white, and blue, star-spangled Icarus costume, complete with long feathers. The man has no sense of theater. :)
IIRC Peter was walking towards Jesus, no performing a circus stunt.
Including you and me. John D. Rockefeller took great chances because he truly believed that God was on his side.
Yes, he was and his faith in Jesus made it possible. I am not comparing the events but pointing out that faith in Jesus does make the impossible into the possible.
exactly. it was so powerful and media could do nothing to stop this show of total submission, faith, and gratitude. Bless Nik for his powerful role.
Then you never watch the 500 either. They make it look easy but an ordinary driver wouldnt last a laps in one of those races.
