Thank you Pastor Vitale.

I appreciate the time you took to answer my questions. I was very moved by some of the responses. At times I felt like a familiar presence was speaking.

I hope that this me finding my way back to God again. Thank you for keeping my name anonymous when you post.  

I have always thought that every time I think of Jesus when I was young, I thought of him as being healthy and uninjured and relaxed. When I got older, the only images that I see in the media or at every church is that of him being punished or crucified. I always tried to picture him free from all this pain.

I guess who am I to try and save someone that does not need saving. I guess I will understand one day.

Thanks again Pastor Vitale, you are a kind soul that really cares and thanks for giving me those words of power and meaning. May you find what it is that you working towards.

Respectfully, XXX.
