At the end of the sermon, the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express a praise for an answered prayer.
Suzie stood and walked to the podium.
She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Frank, had a terrible bicycle accident and his scrotum was completely crushed.
"The pain was excruciating, and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."
You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Frank must have experienced.
“Frank was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain."
We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together
the crushed remnants of Frank's scrotum and wrap fine wire around it to hold it in place with metal staples.”
Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Frank.
“Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Frank is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time,
his scrotum should recover completely.”
All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Frank." The entire congregation held its breath.
“I just want to tell my wife that the word is sternum.”
LOL. I’m glad the husband was able to get that off his chest.
