About 15 years ago I was told that I had cancer and to get my affairs in order and to prepare to die. I have faith in God, and I trusted that God would be with me, and I prayed and I had faith, while I underwent the testing, etc. Then, after a couple of years of testing the tests started saying that I was healthy and that I no longer had cancer. It was a good thing that I had faith, and that I did not commit suicide.

Well, an uncle just died, he was told he had cancer, and he committed suicide. I would have tried to help him to have faith, but he pushed me away a long time ago.

Meanwhile I need to find a good Christian church and I need to make new Christian friends and I need to find a good Christian wife.

I tried to move to Italy where the Vatican is, and I tried to meet Pope John Paul II who was the Pope then, but I could not find a job in Italy so I had to come back to the USA.

I would love to join together with Pope Francis to help in Mexico and to help to make the world a better place, and to help in the Philippines, and to help the poor and homeless in the USA, etc.

I cannot force other people to be Christians, I can only choose for myself, and I can try to surround myself with good loving Christian people.

Salute,

Tony V.

I used to attend the Saint Justin Martyr Church on Empire and Ball in Anaheim, the ladies from the church cooked a wonderful feast after Church each Sunday. Some bad guys burned the church down, but the church has been rebuilt. I want to go see the church again, tomorrow. They used to have a great priest from Ireland who was a huge fan of Mel Gibson, and back then Mel Gibson had "The Passion of the Christ" at theaters. This is the kind of Church that Mel Gibson would like to attend. I hope the ladies still cook the feast.

This church was burned down, and now it has been rebuilt.

So, this is where I plan to attend church in the morning. It seems like a good church. It was good a long time ago.

I made it to Church this morning, the Irish priest is no longer there, and the ladies no longer prepare the feast for after Church, but it is still a good Church and you can feel God working there. And it is a Roman Catholic Church which prepared me to go to Rome, I attended the Catholic Church in 2002 to prepare to go to Rome in 2003, I went to the Vatican in Rome, Pope John Paul II was the Pope then. Anyhow, Saint Justin Martyr Church in Anaheim is a good church, and they are Christians, if you believe in Jesus then it is a good Church.

Salute,
