Ancient Future Time-Summary

After a long winter, here it is, my creative project for Essentials Red. Studying about church history and especially the Christian calendar was very insightful, giving much foundation and understanding to why as the Church we operate the way we do today. All I could think as I was reading at times was, "People need to know this stuff!" But...

After reading through the options for creative projects, I realized that perhaps mine doesn't quite fit the mold as teaching tools are not encouraged. Having said that though, the process of putting into keynote form the summaries found in the book "Ancient Future Time" by Robert Webber and picking out those key quotes that really struck home has been very good for me personally. It condensed and consolidated much needed concepts that I would like to incorporate into my lifestyle one day at a time. Sometimes "left brain" creativity really works for me as my "right brain" has a hard time finding its' way out of the haze of the seemingly eternal question, "What should I do?". Don't get me wrong, this is no way a copout - it is usable and pertinent in the spheres of influence I am venturing into currently.

So my hope is that this project is accepted and might even help some out there who like me need to summarize and see the whole "kit and caboodle" boiled down to just a few "bite size" pieces that can be easily understood, easily communicated and hopefully implemented into one's being to bring about changes in vision, priority and ultimately life - becoming fully who we are by modeling our lives after, first, the One - Jesus Christ and His life cycle here on Earth and then the ones that have gone before us.
