Joy!
by Bob Gilley

St. Thomas's Episcopal Parish

Although technically this is not a great photograph, the story behind
the photograph is truly inspiring. This infaant girl was born with complications
a few months ago. She was given an emergency baptism because it wasn't
certant she would survive.

Well, she indeed did survive and the remainder of the baptism, or the anointing of
oil, was performed this past Sunday. The look on this infant girl and her mother
tells the story well.

Great expressions captured there. Perhaps when you have a couple of hours to spare, you might decide to clone out the guy in the brown suit - I think you could mount it then.
