The Scrotum Prayer
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, Tom , 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 Tom experienced.
She continued,
'Tom 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 Tom'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 Tom.
She continued,'now, Tom 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, 'Hi, I'm Tom, and I want to tell my wife, the word is Sternum.'
