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 a
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 doctor's 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,
ONCE AGAIN, the word is STERNUM!
