I will be taking my leave of you all soon (vanity)

14 August 2016

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.

It sounds quite serious; please focus on your recovery and health. You know we will all be praying for you, FRiend. And you look like a young man (too young to be facing such a difficult path).

I have really enjoyed your posts over the years.

We never know what the Good Lord has in store for us, but I hope to see you on the live thread on election night, celebrating Trump’s massive landslide win! :)

God bless you and your family, Mark.

Keep it going as long as you can.

Hopefully you will be able to say as did St. Paul. “I have fought the good fight, I have run a straight race, I have kept the faith”.

May God Bless you and continue to watch over you and I hope for all of our sakes God delivers this country from the hand of evil and grants us a new beginning with Trump. If that is not what He has in store, I know you will be in an infinitely better place on the other side with Jesus than continuing to see the destruction of our once great country.

Now this is how a FReeper writes an opus!

I only hope I can do as well.

You will be missed my friend.
I spent 10 years lurking before I signed up.
JRandomFreeper and you were two of the FReepers I really “got”.
Sorry we lost him and very sorry we are losing you.
Prayers lifted

I saw this thread in the sidebar. I was so sad to see it was you.

One of the best and most humorous FReepers I have watched over the years. Your posts make me laugh. A good thing!

Bless you. You are a real fighter.

God be with you.

I’m very sorry to hear of your plight...I remember your posts being quite firm in their conviction, and I applaud your courage...

a lot of us contend on this forum, and insults abound, many of which I’ve tossed out when self discipline failed me...the nearness of mortality should make us all reconsider the high value we place on snark for snark’s sake...

I'd like to hope you're wrong and will be around for quite a while longer.

My prayers for your comfort.
