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.
Dad
s swallowehard 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.</FONT
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 University of Maryland. It's inspiring.
