Our Assignments
When I think of the word “assignment”, I immediately think of those teachers who gave us assignments to read chapters of a book or an assignment to study for an exam or to write a book report. Then I think about Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible movies hearing or reading this line:…
It’s Palm Sunday and Here He Comes!
