HiJolly got it right. That is the name of the picture. I chose it as my online mormonism avatar for all the reasons one can take from the history and meaning of this piece of artwork. That picture paints a thousand words to me. I feel like the missionary in the picture. Link to a larger image:

The name “Valoel” also has meaning. It is the name of a mythical archangel that represent and governs over certain universal principles. I wanted to be associated with that meaning.
“DOMINION: Valoel presides over peace, while filling our minds with tranquility, serenity and happiness. Valoel inspires cooperation and calmness when we have conflicts within our hearts. Valoel is considered to be an Archangel as he brings us inner peace and balance.”
I’m not being so arrogant as to think I am that archangel. I just like what the name represents, and use the name to focus my own feeble efforts to influence the world around me. It is a nice ideal to strive for.
