Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
It's first. Going to Heaven is the point of life. Failing that, what difference will anything else you've ever done make?

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
Weeell, let's see: "All who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted." St. Paul, 2Tim3:12 (It's how you can tell you're doing right. It is not ambiguous.) ------------------ The Prophecy of Saint Simeon: "Lord now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation ... etc.", from St. Luke ------------------------------------ "The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt Thou not despise." (I say this to myself a lot, from Psalms) ------------------------------------ Honestly, I could put a hundred in here, and I don't think you want to read all that. But the Bible isn't the only thing; just as important is Church Tradition, and there is much there that is just as important to me ... to all, really.

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
There is no salvation outside of the Church. How could you be in love with someone who does not accept that. You'd be sad all the time about their fate (not that your OWN is guaranteed either). But toghether you can re-inforce each other's Faith, which I think was the point in the first place.

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
Some say that never happened for me! But it was a small resort town in Minnesota, until I was 16; then off to college. (They thought I was a brainiac, but I soon showed other interests as well.) I've been in most of N. Amer. (except for Maine; just one state ... we'll have to go there sometime). I had an extended tour of SE Asia, mostly Viet Nam, in 1970-71 (I don't recommend it, although I hear it's better now.) Japan. Phillippines. Hawaii. Mexico. Lived in L.A. for 9 years when I was in show biz. I PLAN on an extensive tour of East. Europe sometime, and Greece, probably.

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
The Divine Liturgy. Prayer. Learning about the Church.

What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
Up at 5:50. Rosary (in Church) at 7:10 Divine Liturgy at 7:30 Work (if you want to call it that) around 9:00 Prayer Make plans to conquer the world with my 2 partners Prayer Walk around by the Mississippi River, usually while praying ... but if I'm with you, we'll talk. The balcony of my 3rd flr. office is right on the river. Also, I can hear my onw church's bells from there. Very cool. Work some more. Study, pray. (See, I'm by myself right now, so my social calendar is a little light. Besides, I love my Faith and I love practicing it.) I spend 3-4 hours/day in prayer & study ... more during Lent, which this is! I would tell you what that has done for me, but you probably wouldn't believe it.

What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
Fall in love again. Go to Heaven. Help others go to Heaven.
