Carrie Underwood rocketed up the country music charts with her hit "Temporary Home." The first two verses inspire us that a 6-year-old boy without a stable home and a young mom on her own determine to change their undesirable physical circumstances. The final verse brings our thoughts to a spiritual plane where an old man nearing death calmly rejoices that he is ready for what comes next.

Every human life is like a "tent" that is meant to change to a "building from God" (2 Corinthians 5:1). We can sing along with Carrie in the chorus, "I'm not afraid," because what could compare to a building by the Master Architect!
