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.

The 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". 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?
