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 for 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. 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 .
"Let the morning bring word of your unfailing Love, for I have put my trust in You.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul

Those of us who believe in God must STAND UP for our GOD GIVEN rights. Those who claim to be offended BY us don't give a damn that THEY offend US.
Kudos' to those students.
As Merle Haggard would say, "YER WALKIN' ON THE FIGHTIN' SIDE OF ME"
Oh! and by the way, GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, TOO!

God Bless each and all ! ! Isn't it a Shame what we have let this escalate to over 15 or 20% of our people. If WE don't stand up it's gonna be a lot worse!!!!!!!!!
