**Evaluation Handout can be found in 'Downloads' section at right.** All of us have likely had the experience of a performance evaluation at work. This is a time when our boss sits down with us and examines our performance, and how we are contributing to the goals and vision of the company. Recently, employers have begun to use self-evaluation as a way of getting to the bottom of employee performance, requiring someone to sit down and analyze their own efforts. Spiritually, each spring we are given instruction to do the same. In the letter to the Corinthians, Paul writes that we should examine ourselves before we take of the Passover. Why? What is the purpose? How can we examine the various facets of our spiritual lives effectively?
