I dont consider myself a great, political activist, but I got this email the other and thought it was worth sharing. I didn't bother to verify it, but I like it anyways.
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 awaytears.
This class would not pray during the commencements----not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.
The dean 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 91 of the other 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 offstage...
The audience exploded into applause. The graduating class found a uniqueway 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.
This is a true story; It happened at the University of Maryland
