God missing at graduation

1 min read

On June 2 my wife and I attended the graduation of our granddaughter at Mapletown High School. While sitting there I was thinking of the changes since our own graduation from the same school 42 years ago.

There was no invocation and no benediction.

One by one the speakers addressed the graduates; not once was God mentioned.

Finally the valedictorian brought God into the picture.

As a young man sang the “Star Spangled Banner,” I noticed only the people my age and older put their hand over their hearts and looked at the flag.

Our young soldiers are dying for our right to fly that flag.

As I was leaving the gym while inside the glass-enclosed hallway, in my mind I could see Jesus looking from the outside saying, “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.”

Men are fools and make many man made laws. But in the end all shall know.

This is still God’s world.
