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)
