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 did CPR/First Aid training today, rather than working my scheduled shift. It was actually really fun. We had an interesting group of people who made fun of the video and each other. First Aid videos are always corny with subpar acting, and this one was no different.

It made me think of evangelism often being helping people in crises...it's interesting that companies will train their employees to provide help in case of a physical problem, but churches don't always train their members to help people who have emotional and spiritual problems. Often, instead they will pretend there is no problem, and expect people to get all their problems figured out before they come to church and "meet God."
