Crowd stunned after valedictorian rips up speech, recites Lord’s prayer
A South Carolina valedictorian garnered wild applause after he ripped up his pre-approved speech and delivered the Lord’s prayer at his high school graduation on Saturday.
The act was apparently in protest of the Pickens County School District’s decision to no longer include prayer at graduation ceremonies, Christian News reported. Officials said the decision was made after the district was barraged with complaints by atheist groups.
But that didn’t stop Roy Costner IV of Liberty High School. He ripped up his graduation speech for all to see, before he started talking about his Christian upbringing, Christian News reported.
“Those that we look up to, they have helped carve and mold us into the young adults that we are today,” he said. “I’m so glad that both of my parents led me to the Lord at a young age.”
“And I think most of you will understand when I say…” he paused. “Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name…”

Very nice, a thought came to me the other day that we are going to see a revival in the US. with the admin and other groups taking our rights and stomping on common sense, it's just what The Lord would use to bring his people back to him. Praise God!

God bless him! I had to laugh at the body language of the guy sitting behind him in the front row. He looked very uncomfortable.
