To: Jim Robinson and all of my treasured FR family ...
I regret to say that the number of my posts and messages will be taking an abrupt downward turn in the next little while, I can't say in what measure or how soon, but like many of our fellow patriots, health issues have reared their ugly heads in my life, and I see only a limited number of exits approaching, all of them ending with my journey ceasing long before I had originally hoped.
I won't go into the details of what's wrong with me, everyone has issues they're dealing with and all I would say is that I will be praying for each and every FReeper who has asked me to remember them in prayer. I know that I do not come across as a Godly man, nor is my prose or expressions that which I would recommend for anyone, to paraphrase Popeye "I am what I am, that's all that I am, I'm Mark Jessup the American man."
Am I flawed? Oh you bet. However I continue as I have encouraged others to do each day "do your best, and trust Jesus for the rest." My eternity is secure. I have no worries about where I'm going to end up because I have placed my full faith and trust in the Hands of the King of kings and Lord of lords, and I will not be moved from that position, it is non-negotiable.
I don't know if I'll be around for the election in November, I'd like to think the Lord would grant me enough time to see a rousing Trump victory and the defeat of the Communist-Muslim fascists that have subverted and taken over our government, and if I soon can't continue the fight from this side, I'll be trying to fight 'from the other side' if possible.
I won't do any 'shout outs' to my FRiends because anyone who knows me also knows the FReepers who are closest to me, they all know who they are, I just regret that I won't be able to personally meet you all in this lifetime, perhaps we can make up for that in the next.
I'd like to emphasize that if anyone had the idea of offering any sort of monetary help to me, please do NOT - I know some FReepers might like very much to do that (at least I hope they would, lol) but if that is the case with you, then kick up your donations to Free Republic, help Jim Rob in every way you can, pray for that man, lift him up each and every day to the Lord Jesus, Jim is a God fearing, Jesus loving Christian who is washed in the Blood of our Lord and he needs all the help we can give him. I have made arrangements for my own modest monthly donation to continue on after my demise, whenever that might be, I just wish it could be more.
And speaking of our 'Esteemed Founder' as I like to call him, Jim?
My apologies to you Sir, for all of the times I probably caused you some indigestion and grief with my somewhat 'overly rambunctious' style of posting, what you have done with the creation and continuation of Free Republic will be remembered in history as an integral part of the fight for America, you and our family of FReepers made it all happen, may it continue long after we're all gone.
I could go on for a while here as most people know, but this seems like a good place to end this goodbye to you all. I may not be disappearing immediately, however I'm going to need to start curtailing the amount of time I spend online, and sadly FR cannot be immune from that.
With my deepest love and respect ...
Mark Jessup.
(Note to mods, I have taken the liberty of posting this in 'News & Activism' in hopes of reaching as many of my FRiends as possible, naturally I'll understand if you need to shift to 'blogs & personal', 'general chat' and all that.
Prayers sent. You’re a class act.
Get well soon. In times of health and family crisis it is a man’s first duty to take care of himself and his family.
I will pray for you and yours. God bless!
BIG Thumbs Up for that one! And Dittos too!
I am going to explain FR to a loved one in the case of my departure so they can inform FR.
I wish you well Friend. I will miss your many posts. I will pray for you no matter the outcome.
Bro, WTF!!??
I dont know what to say!!
I Am selfish and I will MISS your posts and our laughs!
I know I’m kinda new but we had some crack ups!
####.
I will pray for you man, and I will miss you terribly.
I will continue to support Jim.
Ciao

Prayers, brave warrior. Pass the standard to us knowing with full confidence we will bear it with you courage until our turn comes. Soon, I fear, we will meet in eternity and have such stories to tell. I am eager and count the days to hear yours. Now, bear up on wings as Eagles FRiend.
Prayers UP!
I can so relate, Mark, I don’t know if I will live to November either, due to a muscle- wasting disease.
Like you, I would love to live long enough to see our man elected and am praying to that end. I will be praying for you as well.
May God give you His special grace during this challenging time I’m so happy to hear that you are trusting the Lord Jesus and His sacrificial atonement to take you to heaven. Godspeed my brother.
God bless you brother.
A long time ago I told you I would vote for you for President. Your response was very kind. I always enjoyed your posts.
We need more men like you here. :( But I will not question God.
You will be in my prayers.
get an absentee ballot ASAP : )
Blessings to you Mark, in faith.
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” 1 Corinthians 2:9
He sent His word and healed mkjessup...Psalm 107:20
Be healed mkjessup in the Name of Jesus
This is news I never like to hear.
Remember it’s not an ending, it’s a new beginning.
Peace.
Blessings and prayers
Amen
God Bless you and keep you, Mark. See you on the other side...
A man of consideration, virtue and character. Just as you have always appeared on these pages. Godspeed !
God bless.
