Title: Following the rules.. (Amen!) Post by: Lilazzkicker on 2004-03-26, 17:02 The only thing I can say about this is AMEN!!!!
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. Dad swallowed hard behind broad smiles and moms freely brushed away tears. This class would not pray during commencements---not by choice, but because 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 they he delivered his speech. An astounding---- SNEEZE! The rest of the students rose immediately to their feet, and in unison they said "GOD BLESS YOU." 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. And I say God Bless Him and Amen!! In God We Trust, United We Stand!!! My aunt sent me this (I post this here, for its humor, because I dont want this to turn into another religious thread, so if goes off topic, or into a debate I would like to have it closed) Title: Re: Following the rules..
