When Our Earthly Tent is Destroyed


Our house burned down in the Santa Barbara Tea Fire in November 2008. We lost everything except the clothes we were wearing, our laptops, some important papers, and one of our cars. We are grateful that no one was hurt – we all survived in one piece in spite of losing our home and all our stuff. I believe our deaths will be like that too. Though our bodies will eventually be destroyed, we – our souls – will live on, through God’s gracious preservation. And just as our house was rebuilt, we will receive new bodies – at the resurrection of the dead.
