Like Robin, I am not exactly thrilled to be living in a mobile home. I know that Robin would rather live in a “real” house. I would rather live in a “real” house as well. I also want a maintenance free house and if I cannot have a maintenance free house, I want servants to do the work. The way I look at it, housing is a liability. It is something that falls apart, rots, and is a bait for thieves (Matthew 6:19-20).
On the other hand, I see my house and my body as a tent, providing me temporary shelter, comfort, and an address until I go home—my real home. Until then, I will continue to look forward to a house, no, make that a “…city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. (Hebrews 11:10)
