A hailstorm led off Saturday, with a heavy rain following. The internet went off on the computer and, as far as we know, stayed off all night and Sunday morning.
We visualize Easter as being warm and sunny with flowers in bloom. It wasn't that way Sunday. Rains came falling heavily and then at about five minutes before church was to start the lights went out. Later we learned some 9,000 Shreveporters were without power. When we got home at 12:30, we found we were among them.
But let me get back to church. Utilizing small battery powered candles, the choir opened with Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. Services continued with more Easter music and sermon by the pastor. The Easter egg hunt was relocated from the lawn to Fellowship Hall.
We required no artificial light for an excellent lunch for the family and guests, including Brighton Wayne Lowe.
How am I writing this? The lights came back on at 6:30.
