1. INTRODUCTION

1. On Sep 21, 1956, Grumman test Pilot Tom Attridge holds a unique distinction in the world of aviation. He became the first pilot to shoot himself down. His plane, a Grumman F11F-1 Tiger, was shot by its own bullets. It happened on Sept. 21, 1956. At 13,000' Attridge pulled the trigger for a burst of his 20mm cannon. He continued his descent. At 7,000', the plane was repeatedly struck. He had flown so fast that he had overtaken his own projectiles! He was unable to reach the nearest airport and wrecked among some trees. Attridge was able to escape with his life. The plane was demolished.

1. Matthew 9:36, "But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd."
2. Like last week. We are sheep, directionless, defenseless.
3. People today are fainting. They are scattered. Willy-nilly. All over the board. Running to and fro.
4. Because of our condition we need to rest.
