Howard County Sheriff Jerry Marr got a disturbing call one Saturday afternoon. 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 miles per hour. Sheriff Marr had seen the results of accidents like this and feared the worst. When he got to St. Josephs 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 fishing with Dad and some lady runned me over. I flew into a mud puddle and broke my fishing 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 into the middle of a large 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 and bought him a new one whil 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 because I saw him," said Mikey, still casting into the trash can.
"You did?" asked 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."
Faith is not believing that God can...it is knowing that He will!
