The Vanity Fair 'style' Interviews
- Major Anthony Baso
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Perfect happiness starts and ends with a relationship with
God. Psalm 16:11 best sums it up for me. “You will make clear
to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your
right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.” Where God
is, there is fullness of joy. If God is in all other
relationships, then our joy will be made complete.
What is your greatest fear?
Sharks…it give me the creeps just thinking about it.
What living person do you most admire?
Major David Laeger (R) He lives out a life of holiness
like no one I have ever been around. He’s the real deal.
