the great egg souffle caper page 4 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. She figured that she had just enough for the crowd that was coming but only had one egg souffle dish in case the crowd was larger than expected.
When the service ended, the line began to form down the stairs.
" How is it going Elnora?" Pastor Greerson asked.
She noticed he was one of the first in line.
" We're doing fine so far".
" I got in line because I'm hungry". He filled a plate and sat down.
" We need some more egg souffle upstairs".
Elnora turned to notice a young man who was dressed casually in jeans and a t shirt. She did not recognize him but figured he was helping Marjorie upstairs. " I have an extra egg souffle dish warming up". She wiped the sweat from her brow. " You can take it". She got the dish and handed it to the young man.
" Thank you". He carefully picked up the dish and ran up the stairs.
After the crowd had died down, Elnora began to pray that more egg souffle would be coming.


Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
