Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. Here’s another local interest story from PG County. Did you hear about the zebras roaming through Upper Marlboro on September 2nd? Did you also hear that Elanor Holmes Norton, Washington, DC’s Congressional delegate, was accused of releasing the roaming zebras? A child saw zebras in her back yard, so she told her mother. Her mother accused her of being crazy until the mother looked out the window and saw the zebras herself. The woman then called 311, the non-emergency municipal answer line, to report zebras in her yard, but the operator did not believe her. The woman informed the operator that she had not been drinking or doing drugs. The convinced operator gave out the number for animal control which sent officers to corral the zebras until they can be captured and returned to their owners. While zebras look similar, did you know that no two zebra’s stripe patterns are alike? Zebra stripes are like human fingerprints. Even though each zebra’s stripes are different, baby zebras have their mothers’ stripes imprinted on their memories at birth and are able to find their mothers in a herd of zebras which, by the way, is called a “dazzle.” And one more fact, genetic research has answered the age-old question of whether zebras are white with black stripes or vice versa; the answer: zebras are black with white stripes. So how did evolution form these majestic black beasts with unique white stripe patterns? It didn’t—God did.
