Life Story (Short Version)
Some of you know I'm in the midst of the ordination process with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). This began a little over a year ago but is coming to the key moments soon.
Part of the process is filling out a very extensive PIF (Personal Information File). Think of a resume crossed with a research paper. It's a monster.
I've been working on it today and came to a part in which I just had to laugh. Part III of the file asks you to write your,
"Life Story".
In their words:
Describe your life journey. Include key incidents that were significant in your formation as a person and your call to ministry. State your personal ideals and goals.
But here's the kicker... Before that brief description it says,
"In one page".
How can anyone tell their life story in one page? So that's what I'm working on today. My life story. The short version.
If you have any suggestions about what I should include, pass them along.
