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, David, had a 
terrible motorcycle 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 David must have experienced. 

"David 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  David'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 
David. 

"Now," she  announced in a quavering voice, "thank the Lord, David  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  David." 

The entire congregation held its  breath. 

"I just want to tell my wife that  the word is sternum."
