Nik Wallenda walks highwire over Niagra Falls

This highly hyped story about another of the Wallenda family caught my interest since I have also followed the family since the collapse of the pyramid years ago in Detroit, I believe it was. Karl Wallenda apparently wanted to tempt fate in Puerto Rico solo style by walking the wire when he fell to his death. So tonight, on ABC t.v., his grandson Nik Wallenda tempted fate again with enough preparation and sensibility to walk a 25 minute suspense filled tiresome walk from the USA to Canada where he was met by security who demanded his passport. He had carried it with him. It was a brave, courageous stunt which did not fail to excite. The falls were simply astounding to see, the mist, and the rain that poured onto the wire was obvious to everyone, and the sight of him crossing alone on that bar high in the air just was simply awesome beyond belief. He talked to his father who encouraged him and stayed with him the entire time. It was a bit nervewracking but he had a cable tether that followed behind him so that if he did chance to fall he would not fall into the rapids that rushed beneath him. I was spellbound and deeply touched. I even teared up at his success. He said some things that really struck a chord in me, but his prayers to Jesus, to the Lord, were so beautiful I admired him for his faith and his need to express his love to God. It was a beautiful experience. Thank Heaven he is a great one!
