debz - this one's for you!!!
The pastor
asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered
prayers. A lady stood and walked to the podium.
She said, 'I have praise.
Two months ago, my husband, Jim, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum
was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if
they could help him.'
You could hear an audible gasp from the men in the
congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Jim experienced. She continued,
'Jim was unable to hold me or the children and every move caused him terrible
pain.
We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation. They were able
to piece together the crushed remnants of Jim's scrotum and wrap wire
around
it to hold it in place.'
Again, the men in the congregation squirmed!
uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Jim. She
continued, 'Now, Jim
is out of the hospital and the doctors say, with time,
his scrotum should recover completely.' All the men sighed with
relief.
The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had anything
to say.
A man rose and walked to the podium. He said, 'I'm Jim and I want
to tell my wife, the word is sternum.'
