Milkshakes. I love Milkshakes (Ex 26/ 76)

I was driving home after a longish day.
Day one of a two day introduction to a new screening model for alcohol and other drugs and mental health issues in indigenous clients.
Anyway I was driving home and I thought
"I could really do a milkshake now."
So I grabbed some ice-cream on the way home and waited.
Waited for the kids to get home.
Waited for tea to be finished.
Waited to get the dishes finished.
And then it was time.
I scooped out the creamy ice-cream.
I squeezed in lashings of chocolate topping.
I sloshed in the milk.
Full cream of course.
Wacked the cup into the milkshake maker and hit the button.
Actually there isn't a button, but I wasn't sure how to say, I twisted the top of the milkshake maker to frappe, succinctly. But there you go.
Switched it to 1 to break the ice-cream down.
Then to 2 to get that smooth creamy blend.
Not too short.
You need to be sure the chocolate has lifted from the bottom and mixed completely.
Then quickly back to 1 to get the maximum aerated thickness of decadent dairy.
Ease it off.
Disconnect the cup.
The cool bubbles of chocolatey air.
The richness of cold, creamy milk.
Enjoyed greatly.

I love milkshakes.
I really do.
Oh and the kids do too.
So I made 2 more.

Donna had some of mine.

Exodus 26
God sure liked curtains!
The tabernacle was certainly an intricate design for a portable tent.
So much detail.
So much care.
The ornateness set it apart from any other dwelling.
The dwelling of a King.
How would the craftsmen feel about making such a masterpiece?
Not just a fancy tent.
Not just a place of worship.
A place that the God who delivered them from Egypt, who spoke with thunder and lightning, who shook the earth, was going to inhabit.
It is probably the most refined, perfect set of curtains ever constructed.
But it's purpose was just as important.
This was going to be the focus of the entire camp.
All other dwellings would radiate from this one masterpiece.
But golly, how much would it weigh?
Then again, it wasn't as if the weight hadn't already been carried by someone.
They had all the materials at hand.
Now, they just looked a bit better.
