The Flying Wallendas tightrope walk was terrifying, foolhardy, and also a Jesus thing
As the Wallendas began their tightrope walks, both of them, wearing microphones, also began some mid-air professions of faith.
“We’re so blessed to be in these positions, thank you Jesus,” Nik Wallenda remarked, inching across the tightrope. “Lord, set them free from their fear, fear that holds so many back.” He added, a moment later, seemingly addressing the TV audience, “There’s something so freeing about being able to do what you know you were made for... Hopefully you guys are encouraged by what you’re doing to step out of your comfort zones and into greater things.
In the end, of course, the Wallendas made it across. They embraced. Joel Osteen did a celebratory tweet. Every blog written about this event will, I presume, be circulated internally at ABC to prove the success of this thing.Do I think this was a good idea? Not especially. Do I think human beings were made to go that high in the air? Absolutely not. Did I appreciate the presence of Joel Osteen? Particularly not.
