Crossing by wire

kw: international events, stunts

I just finished watching Nik Wallenda wire-walk across the Horseshoe Falls of Niagara, from the American to the Canadian side. ABC's news team had a live audio feed from him and his father the whole time. I was particularly touched to hear him pray frequently, and thank the Lord, as he was crossing. Though every precaution had been taken, and he was wearing a safety harness for the first time in his life, he knew he needed God's help to remain focused and to endure the physical labor it took to walk those 1,500 feet.
