Amazing and true
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
considering what had happened to him. "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 a matter-of-fact, 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."
