Should We be Issuing Report Cards? Sometimes a snapshot of someone’s performance is helpful to have.

For those in the evangelical Christian community, I would venture to guess Queen Elizabeth II, whose passing on September 8 touched nearly every corner of the globe, her station was met with a certain amount of respect, some frustration, and a lot of misunderstanding.
