THE SNEEZE
>> >They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the
>> >already crowded auditorium With rich maroon gowns flowing and the
>> >traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt.
>> >
>> >Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away
>> >tears.
>> >
>> >This class would not pray during the commencements----not by choice, but
>> >because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.
>> >
>> >The principal and several students were careful to stay within the
>> >guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and
> challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one
> asked for blessings on the graduates or their families.
>> >
>> >The speeches were nice, but they were routine.....until the final speech
>> >received a standing ovation.
>> >
>> >A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and
>> >silent for just a moment, and then, it happened. All 92 students, every
>> >single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!!
>> >
>> >The student on stage simply looked at the audience! and said, 'GOD BLESS
>> >YOU, each and every one of you!' And he walked off stage...
>> >
>> >The audience exploded into applause. The graduating class found a unique
>> >way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's
>> >approval.
>> >
>> >Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your friends.........and
>> >GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
>> >
>> >In God We Trust, United We Stand. This is a true story; happened at the
