down right impressive....

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-three 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 93 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? GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
In God We Trust, United We Stand.
