LEROY OF ST. LOUIS

In a St. Louis church one Sunday morning, the preacher said:
"Anyone with special needs who wants to be prayed over, please
come forward to the front by the altar."

With that, Leroy got in line, and when it was his turn, the preacher
asked, "Leroy, what do you want me to pray about for you?"

Leroy replied, "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."

The preacher put one finger of one hand in Leroy's ear, placed his other
hand on top of Leroy's head, and then prayed and prayed and prayed.
He prayed a blue streak for Leroy, and the whole congregation joined
in with great enthusiasm.

After a few moments, the preacher removed his hands, stood back and
asked, "Leroy, how is your hearing now?"

Leroy answered, " I don't know. It ain't 'til Thursday."
