THE  SNEEZE

They  walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two  students filing into the already crowded
auditorium.  With their 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 which 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.    92 students, every single one

of them,
suddenly SNEEZED !!!!

The  student on stage.. simply looked at the audience and said,

'GOD  BLESS YOU !!

And he walked off the stage...

The  audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had 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!!!!


This  is a true story; it happened at the  University of  Maryland
