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".

Sometimes life's circumstances have me scratching my head, wondering how this came about. Such is the case with tonight, when a black man, his German wife, and two kids, their family just having moved from the Big Apple to Oregon (how many times has that happened in the history of the country?), come to have dinner with my spiritually conservative, middle class suburban white family.

Go figure. God's either chuckling about it, scheming on his next "You won't believe this one either" plan, or maybe doing both. Needless to say, he has no respect for man's barriers, so why not break down a whole bunch of them in one fell swoop?

This should be fun. Bring it on, God.
