| The Sneeze Just recieved this in an email and wanted to share...there is hope for the younger generation yet...... 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; 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!" He then 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. It happened at the University of Maryland.

| I got chills reading that. What a beautiful story!! My mom says when she was a kid in the 50's every school day began with the Pledge and a prayer. And that was in public school. I think the reason why society has deteriorated so much is because we don't (or aren't allowed to) acknowledge God as much anymore.
