The parable of the lost... filters?
Which of you, if she have a thousand-dollar camera and a very nice flash and spare batteries and also four lenses, and who have photographic filters in three different sizes, and compact flash cards and a cleaning kit and a spare camera and a large camera bag, and if she lose three of the filters which hath a cash value of approximately $120 and which fit thy precious wide-angle Tokina lens and also thy spare camera, will not wail and bemoan thy wretched stupid carelessness for many weeks, and who will not mourn at thy inability to take proper pictures of clouds or darken a scene, and will not look in every nook and cranny and also check several lost-and-found boxes for the filters which have gone astray?
And which of you, if after many days of mourning thou shouldst find the filters tucked away safely in thy spare small camera bag, will not leap gleefully in the air and shout, "YES!", touching thy head against the ceiling fan (which, thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, was not turned 'on') in thy joy?
Verily I say to you, likewise shall be the joy in heaven over a sinner who repents, even more than the camera bag full of sinners who were not lost.
