<li><p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom"><strong>The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.</strong> - <!-- SC_OFF --></p>
<div class="md">
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
A lady stood and walked to the podium.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
She said, “I have a 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 didnt know if they could help him.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that Tom must have experienced.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
“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 Toms scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Again the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
“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.”
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
All the men sighed with relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
He said “Im Tom.” The entire congregation held its breath..
</p>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
