The Groaning Tent and the Exodus
A man went to a psychiatrist with a problem.
“Doc,” he explained, “I keep being plagued by two recurring dreams. One is a dream that I am a wigwam. In my other dream, I dream I am a teepee. Doc, you gotta help me. Am I going crazy? Is there something wrong with me?”
“Relax,” consoled the psychiatrist. “There is nothing wrong with you. You’re just two tents.”
The subject of tents was something Paul the Apostle took seriously. He was a skilled tentmaker by trade. Because tents were not far from Paul’s mind, he was in familiar territory when he compared life’s temporary nature to tent dwelling.
