Title: Letting Go-Letting God
Author: Ernest Easley
Text: Luke 22:7-22
We are fascinated with firsts. You're probably familiar with the name Neil Armstrong, who on July 20, 1969, was the first human to step onto the moon. Since then, 11 other Americans have walked on the moon. Can you name any of them?
Perhaps you know the name Buzz Aldrin, who along with Armstrong, were the first two astronauts to leave their boot prints on the Moon. So, there was Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. That's two of the twelve.
What about the name Pete Conrad? Do you know that name? How about Alan Bean? Alan Shepard? Edgar Mitchell? David Scott? James Irwin? John Young? Charles Duke? Eugene Cernan? Harrison Schmitt? These are the other ten men who have walked on the Moon, names you probably are not familiar with, but you are familiar with the most well-known name, Neil Armstrong, because he was the first. We are fascinated with firsts!
You probably know the name Roger Bannister, who on May 6, 1954, at Oxford University ran "the perfect mile," being the first human to run the first sub-four-minute mile (3:59.4). But do you know the name John Landy? Probably not. He was the second person to run a sub-four-minute mile (3.57.9) and he did it on June 21,1954. And since then, as of June 2022, 1754 other athletes have run a sub-four minute mile. But the name associated with breaking that 4-minute barrier is and will always be Roger Bannister because we are fascinated with firsts.
You may be familiar with the names of Neil Armstrong and Roger Bannister; but you may not know the name Alfredo Codona, who was perhaps the greatest trapeze artist who ever lived. He was the first human to perfect the triple ariel somersault on April 3, 1920, in the Chicago Coliseum.
The trapeze was invented in 1859 by a French performer named Jules Leotard. The word trapeze comes from the Latin word trapezium, a geometrical three-sided figure that is reflected by the shape made by the ceil ...
