By the grace of God, I was able to clear my calendar Sunday morning and spend some time with Lee Milligan and his flock at the Church of the Painted Hills in Tucson, Arizona.
That was important, because on Friday Lee learned of the death of his beloved father. How appropriate that as the service began, Lee reminded his parishioners that we are to 'rejoice in the Lord, always.' It was a testimony to his integrity and his faith that he was able to model that rejoicing for them on a Sunday when there were two Baptisms, and two Confirmands who stood before the church and Confirmed their faith.
We keep Lee in our prayers, as we do Danielle and Evan, the two Confirmands.
