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 a muffled gasp from the men in the
congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Tom must have experienced. "Tom
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 Tom's
scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."
Again, the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as
they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom. "Now," she announced in a
quavering voice, "thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital and the doctors say
that with time, his scrotum should recover completely."
All the men sighed with 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 Tom." The entire congregation held its breath. "I just want to tell
my wife that the word is sternum."
