the great egg souffle caper page 2b by ric gustafson.
After the 8:00 service started, more egg souffle came. Elnora and the others warmed up more hot cross buns and poured more orange juice. Elnora figured that she had enough for the crowd that was coming but only had one spare egg souffle dish in case the crowd was bigger than she expected.
When the service ended, the crowd began to form down the stairs.
" How is it going Elnora?" Pastor Greerson asked as she noticed that he was one of the first in line.
" We're doing fine so far".
" I got in line quick because I'm hungry" he said with a chuckle as he loaded a plate and then sat down at a table.
" We need some more egg souffle upstairs" said a young man who was dressed more casually than most people on Easter.
Elnora did not recognize the young man but figured he was helping Marjorie upstairs. " I have an extra egg souffle dish warming up" she replied as she swept the sweat from her brow. " You can take that one".
" Thank you". He carefully picked up the hot dish and ran up the stairs.
Later on as the crowd died down, Elnora prayed that more egg souffle would be coming.
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
