When the pastor calls for prayers, I’m sure he didn’t expect this! A woman makes an announcement about an accident that had happened to her husband. It was enough to make all the men in the church squirm and the women nearly pass out. Bless her heart, but this is just too funny!
During the service, the pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for prayers, which had been answered.
A lady stood up and came forward.
She said, ‘I have a reason to thank the Lord. 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 stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
He said, “I’m Jim.” The entire congregation held its breath.
“I just want to tell my beautiful wife, the word is sternum (chest).”
