Interview: Major Anthony Baso
Original Publication - JAC #53,
February 2008 – March

JAC: What is your idea of perfect happiness?
AB: 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.
JAC: What is your greatest fear?
AB: Sharks…it give me the creeps just thinking about it.
JAC: What living person do you most admire?
AB: Major David Laeger (R) He lives out a life of holiness
like no one I have ever been around.
He’s the real deal.

Son’s of thunder), Judas sometimes…Elijah sometimes.
