>Cathleen grew up on a dairy farm, where she had to help milk the 
>cows twice a day.  The cows needed to be milked, even when they were 
>sick, but the milk of these cows would be poured out.  One time, 
>when Cathleen was about 16, she had to do the milking alone.  There 
>were 5 infected cows at the time. All the cows had numbered tags 
>attached to their ear in order to keep track of them.  Her dad had 
>given her a list of the 5 cows that needed to be separated from the 
>rest of the herd for milking.  this would be a difficult task for 
>just one person, as cows are not like horses that can easily be lead 
>where they need to go.  she wished that her siblings were there to 
>help.  The idea came to her that god cares about every aspect of our 
>lives, so maybe she could ask for His help.  With the list of 
>numbers in one hand and the other hand raised, she called out, "In 
>the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, will the following cows please 
>step forward: numbers 2, 11, 17, 32, and 49!"  As soon as she 
>finished speaking, she heard a rustling sound toward the back of the 
>herd, and 5 cows came forward!  Some of the other cows even stepped 
>aside to let them pass!  she read the numbers.  Sure enough, they 
>were numbers 2, 11, 17, 32, and 49!  All the cows continued to 
>cooperate while the separation took place.  God was indeed looking 
>out for her, and, as she learned, He has a sense of humor 
>too.  perhaps He winked.
