I am sure by now that most people on whatever List this is understand my
rather narrow view of "modern Christianity". While I don't truly "approve"
of this story...in my heart of hearts...it is so damn funny and clever, I
just got to pass it along.
>From my distant cousin Shirley, the following story......
--------------------------
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 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!" And he walked off stage..
The audience exploded into applause.
