The Sneeze!! (Let us all sneeze!)

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


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, SNEEZED!!!!




The student on stage simply looked at the audience and said, 'GOD BLESS


YOU'. And he walked off 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

And the Courts didnt even see it coming!
