A day for the tiny things people carry because life becomes easier when string, coins, notes, keys, or a tool are close at hand.
The Baptist churches of the Bahamas hold a particular fire, from the large congregations in Nassau to the clapboard churches on the Family Islands where the usher fans are still hand-cranked paper. Sunday mornings mean gospel chords, call and response, and a sermon that might run long but will not run dull. Baptist Bahamians raise the roof on a regular Tuesday prayer meeting, let alone Easter Sunday.
A day for remembering the bag before leaving, then remembering what was supposed to go in it.
A day for reminders, photos, jokes, plans, corrections, and the tiny negotiations that keep families coordinated.
