 the great egg souffle caper page 4 by ric gustafson


After the 8:00 service started, more egg souffle came. Hot cross buns were warmed up and more orange juice was poured. Elnora had just enough egg souffle for when the service ended. She was concerned. She only had one extra egg souffle dish just in case the crowd was larger.
When the service ended, the line began to form down the stairs.
" How is it going Elnora?". It was Pastor Greerson. He was 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 casually dressed in jeans and a t shirt. She did not recognize him. She 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.
