Jesus and the Mud Puddle
Howard County Sheriff Jerry Marr got a disturbing call one Saturday
afternoon a few months ago.
His 6-year-old grandson Mikey had been hit by a car while fishing
in Greentown with his dad.
The father and son were near a bridge by the Kokomo Reservoir when
a woman lost control of her car, slid off the bridge and hit Mikey at
a rate of about 50 mph.
Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents like this and feared
the worst.
When he got to Saint Joseph Hospital, he rushed through the
emergency room to find Mikey conscious and in fairly good spirits.
Mikey, what happened?" Sheriff Marr asked. Mikey replied, "Well,
Papaw, I was fishin' with Dad, and some lady runned me over, I flew into a
mud puddle, and broke my fishin' pole and I didn't get to catch no fish!"
As it turned out, the impact propelled Mikey about 500 feet, over a
few trees and an embankment and in the middle of a mud puddle. His
only injuries were to his right femur bone which had broken in two
places.
Mikey had surgery to place pins in his leg. Otherwise the boy is fine.
Since all the boy could talk about was that his fishing pole was
broken, the Sheriff went out to Wal-mart and bought him a new one while he
was in surgery so he could have it when he came out.
The next day the Sheriff sat with Mikey to keep him company in the
hospital.
Mikey was enjoying his new fishing pole and talked about when he
could go fishing again as he cast into the trash can When they were
alone, Mikey, just as matter-of-factly, said, "Papaw, did you know Jesus
is real?
Well," the Sheriff replied, a little startled. "Yes,Jesus is real
to all who believe in him and love him in their hearts."
"No," said Mikey. "I mean Jesus is REALLY real."
"What do you mean?" asked the Sheriff.
"I know he's real 'cause I saw him." said Mikey, still casting
into the trash can. "You did?" said the Sheriff.
"Yep," said Mikey. "When that lady runned me over and broke my
fishing pole, Jesus caught me in his arms and laid me down in the
mud puddle."
GIVES YOU GLORY BUMPS DOESN'T IT!
