Holy Cow!

I blame this post entirely on my Texas Correspondent who sent me the photo and even chose the post title:

It's not unusual for calves to have markings on their foreheads, but a calf born a week ago at a farm in Sterling gives a new meaning to the term "unusual."

When the calf was first born, Brad Davis, the calf's owner, didn't see anything unusual about it.

Davis said, "At first we didn't notice his marking, until later in the day and his fur dried and then it went back into position and the hair straightened out. That's when we noticed we had something special here."

Something special indeed.

The calf, which is mostly brown, had an all-white cross in the middle of its forehead.

Davis said, "Well, I think it's maybe a message from up above. I'm not sure. We're still trying to figure that out."

When a cow was born with a Mickey Mouse-shaped design on its side it was sent to Disneyland and renamed "Mickey Moo". Maybe they can send this one to the Crystal Cathedral and use it in "The Glory of Christmas".

I saw this pictured in the newspaper yesterday.

It reminds me of a line from our Baptismal service where we say to the baptized, "You have been sealed by the Holy Spirit and marked by the cross of Christ forever."

Maybe the cow just came from an Ash Wednesday service at a Lutheran or Catholic church.
