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.'
