Persistent Joy: Keeping Our Hearts On Heaven

Photography | 15” x 39”

Starting left to right, with the first image one sees “There is light and the Bride rejoices.” Next, a Marine Major and a Navy Chaplin hold a baptism in the Caribbean Sea; truly, “Joy declared and shared.” After destructive weather, those passing through this neighborhood in Better Hope, Guyana are invited to partake in a counter culture mindset, “Perspectives; not of the world.” The fourth image is of a Sister recovering at Eden Medical Center from an aneurism, it beams: “Trials refine and joy persists.” This collage was inspired by 1 Peter 1:6-7 ESV.
