Building Starts (Ex 36/ 86)

I'm getting fairly excited at the moment.
I'm approaching a couple of biggish milestones.
First of all I've nearly finished blogging my second book of the Bible.
Secondly, in less than 20 posts I will have made comments on 100 different occasions.
I know those two things are sort of closely connected and kind of intertwine around each other. But I needed to let people know how little a life I actually have.
These are highlights to me!
And I can't get depressed by this.
That's the really sad bit.
Irony, irony.
I tried to think "Oh whoa is me, my high point in life is getting to the end of Exodus."
But I can't feel sad or even sort of unhappyish.
Because it has sort of proven that I can do this stuff.
It may not be brilliant.
There's certainly more riveting stuff around.
And it has no pictures and stuff.
But it's all me.
Yeah!
Oh and Leviticus rises in the distance.
Looming closer and closer.
It's invigorating scent of excitement inches towards me.
Now that's something to really look forward to.
And what's that in its shadow, lurking silently beyond the horizon.
Oh.
It's Numbers.
Might be time for a holiday then.
(Today I really wanted to use the words lurking and looming. I have no idea why. It was just one of those odd thinking processes that struck me today.)

Exodus 36
So the craftsmen get stuck in straight away.
They know the plans.
They have the skills.
They just do it.
(Today's post has been brought to you by Nike. No it hasn't. Just me.)
And the people bring gifts.
And gifts.
And gifts.
And gifts.
So much that the workers say, "Stop! It's more than enough."
Never heard a tradie say that.
Reading between the lines I sense the excitement of working together in building a place to worship God.
There is no aimlessness.
No vague idea of what is meant to happen.
Direction.
And they all get into it.
I can almost hear the singing as they put it all together.
Or is that the 7 dwarves?
