Recently during a sermon, Pastor Sue preached on the following:

If you were to condense your life into a six word memoir, what would you say? What’s your essence? How would you tell your life story in just six words? That’s the challenge Smith magazine posed three years ago, to readers of their website. They didn’t know how people would respond, or whether anybody would take the challenge. Since the beginning, there have been more than 250,000 six word memoirs offered. The precursor to all these memoirs may have been a request of Ernest Hemingway. Asked once, to write a full story in six words, legend has it that the novelist responded: “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

To that end; Pastor invited the congregation to submit their own "six word memoirs," so the phrases below, are from church members on their own lives:

~ Life's too short, have some fun.

~ Not to worry, God will provide.

~ Give from the heart everything possible.

~ Met Him, loved Him, served Him.

~ Took what came, dealt with same.

~ I worked very hard and gave.

~ Family, Friends, Faith, Filled with joy.
