JOSHUA TIME 824

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 Universityof Maryland
>>>It's inspiring
