antiquus postremo

'antiquus postremo' is latin for "ancient future". ancient-future is a term used by the so-called "postmodern church" or emerging church to envision what the future of the church might look like if we returned to modeling the early church as described in the book of acts. anyway, ancient future for this blog just means that I'm writing about what's happening right now in my life, kind of like saying "yesterday's tomorrow".

I hate weeding. And really anything that falls in the category "manual labor." But I did it anyway this morning, working for my parents in the yard to decrease the amount of rent I have to pay. As long as my schedule allows it, I think I'm going to work for 3-4 hours around the house on Saturday mornings.

The ironic thing about manual labor and me is, I'd rather do it for free, for a cause, than do it for myself to get paid. That's what happened when I went to Mississippi to do hurricane relief work...most fulfilling manual labor I've ever done. But I was still glad when I got to stop.

I don't know exactly what kind of work I want to do during my life, but I know that I'm not going to enjoy manual labor.
