Your Bio Here
March 2, 2012
While searching for an interesting way to instruct my college writing class about the concept of writing a biographical sketch, I found this idea: Write a biography in six words. When asked to do this, Pulitzer Prize winner Ernest Hemingway wrote this poignant bio: For sale: baby shoes, never used. Imagine the sad story behind those six words.
As I thought about this concept, I wondered if we could find any six-word biographies of people in the Bible. What I discovered was astonishing. Many of our scriptural heroes have already been described that way. For example, David, of whom God said: A man after My own heart (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22). Or Pauls self-description: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:1). Or Pauls description of Timothy: My true son in the faith (1 Tim. 1:2 NIV). And consider these words about Mary: The virgin shall be with child (Matt. 1:23). And about Jesus: Became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14).
This exercise in precise descriptions of people of faith should cause us to wonder: What six-word description would best describe me? Would it be positive or negative? Would it be Not an easy person to love or A shining light for the Lord? What would your bio say?
Lord, help me to be what You want me to be
In character, actions, and will,
For You are the potter and I am the clay
Your purposes I would fulfill. Fitzhugh
Once lost, now found. Eternally thankful!
Read: John 1:1-14

Gotta run but I'm Brie cheese:
You are sophisticated and elegant. You know how to carry yourself well. And while you make a great entrance, you don't make a lot of fuss.
You are really quite laid back and mellow. You don't have a care in the world, and you're not going to get worked up about anything. You are a natural romantic, and you have a tendency to day dream. You find it easy to go to your "happy place."

You Are Mozzarella |
You are mild mannered and pleasant. You are extremely easy going. You are also quite lovable and tender. You wear your heart on your sleeve.
You never try to complicate matters or bring drama. You just go with the flow. You are very delicate and sensitive. It's easy for you to be overpowered by stronger forces. |

Hi Ma! xoxo, Meeky
You Are Blue Cheese |
You are a wild one, that's for sure. You march to your own funky beat. You are quirky and unpredictable. If there's one thing to be said about your personality, it's that it's strong.
You have always been unusual, but as you age, you're getting even more of a flavor. You are a bit scattered at times, and it's a little hard for you to keep it together. Stress makes you crumble. |
