(First the motto: if you're going to speak in public, TAKE THE TIME to think through what you're going to say first.)
My wife had been to see her doctor about a problem with pressure in her head. She thought she had an ear infection but the doctor said that her ear canal was much too narrow, and this was creating the pressure and pain. So...the next Sunday, when they asked for prayer requests, I stood up. Knowing time was short and that I had to say my piece and sit down, I got slightly flustered and couldn't remember the actual diagnosis. So here's what came out:
"I'd like you to prayer for my wife as she has a small space between her ears"
I'm not sure, but I think it's the first time my brother-in-law ever pissed himself in church. Screamed like a girl too.
