The pastor at James church asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. Sarah stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise."
"Yes, Sarah" the pastor prompted."Two months ago," she began in a firm, clear voice as she turned to the packed house, "my husband, James, had a terrible motorcycle 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 James experienced. She continued, "James was unable to hug or even hold me, 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 his 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 James.
She went on, "Now, James is out of the hospital and, the doctors say, with time, his scrotum should recover completely. "Sarah made a slight bow of thanks and headed back for her pew as all the men sighed with relief.
The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had anything to say. A man rose and slowly walked to the podium. He said, "I'm James. I just wanted to tell my wife, once again, that the word is sternum!
