Well I am in End of Life Hospice care at the Togus Hospital in Augusta Maine.
So, I reckon I can say just about anything I want to about politics, politicians, false prophets, preachers and everything else.
If you were in my shoes, what would you say and to whom.
Praise God, Bob! I will be happy to meet you on the other side, when my time comes, through Jesus Christ, our LORD.
O brother in Christ on the night of the last supper Jesus knew what was ahead for him. He sang the Hallel. Psalms 113-118 but specifically Psalm 116. Here it is.
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
19 In the courts of the LORD’S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
I would tell my family I love them. I would also tell my family what I truly think about the world in which we live. I would give them any advice that I have found to be useful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do so in an unsolicited fashion simply because so much of what you learn in life is not what you were looking to learn in life. I would write these things down or record them for posterity.
God bless, you are in my prayers.
Dear Sir , I came across this site while residing up in Maine . I was a transplant from the communist commonwealth known as Massachusetts and I bounced around the beautiful state of Maine for over a decade . My house up in Brownville Junction was myt favorite . I know exactly where you are as I passed TOGUS everyday while doing a roof on a school in a town past there ...anyway , I am saddened by your situation . I am of the opinion that the majority of the hacks within D.C. and the agencies under the executive branch are polluted with communist biased individuals who should be hung for subversive and treasonous acts ...I have written and spoken with aides directly and have expressed these same sentiments ...Ryan that spineless self-serving bastard needs to be near the front of the line ...Pelosi needs to be incarcerated and her AND her husband stripped of their cash and properties ...I could go on and on but thats what I say and feel. May God be with you at this crucial time and you have prayers from myself and the other Freepers . Godspeed.
Dear Bob,
No matter the length of time on this physical sphere, it is but a blink of an eye when compared to what is to come in the afterlife.
There is truly an afterlife, and whichever side of the veil you enter, it is the only way out.
If you are not within the loving forgiving arms of Jesus Christ, may your comments bring someone into your life to share of His gift of Forgiveness.
With that gift of Forgiveness you will see things anew and have fresh thoughts for those who you wish to address.
In the name of Jesus, I pray for your soul and peace of mind.
Amen.
I see you are a Freeper for more than 20 years. It’s people like you that make this a great site.
Prayers for you and your family. And say a few prayers for your fellow Freepers. We need them too.
Your post & replies today has made an impact on me. I could write a dissertation that would bore you to tears as to why that’s the case :-) ... however, I’ll simply say thank you :-).
Make the most of your time left doing what YOU think you should be doing :-). I’d suggest doing something that would cause a ruckus online, but that won’t do anyone any good :-).
Again, thank you!
May God bless you and carry you gently home.
Oh, it is with great joy that I admit to not reading down far enough to see tweet # 37 proclaiming your being saved by Christ!
Reach out, Bob, to those in this life who you wanted to speak to about Christ but perhaps did not want to damage any feelings.
That would be the greatest gift your earthly life can give as you leave to join Christ and the other brethren!
Rejoicing for your soul!
I say don’t waste any of your remaining time on negative people and things. Enjoy the time you have as much as you can!
It gives me great joy to hear that; and you will be with Him face-to-face, probably before I will. I meant no offense and pray you have a peaceful journey, my friend.
I’m happy, after all these years, that we are here to see President Trump and the millions who voted for him. And, that Americans are allowed to talk about Jesus again in public.
God bless you Bob.
Bob, as a patriot preacher and vet, you will be sorely missed. Without people like you our nation is lost.
But, as a child of God, you will be welcomed with open arms by our Lord Jesus Christ. What an hour that will be, ‘eh?
I pray all the best for you and your family Bob. Is that you in the picture of your profile page here? Looks like you were active and in-their-face when needed. Thank you! I and my wife went to DC to protest Obamacare vote the week it was passed. Your picture reminds me of that time. It would be nice to think we were there together.
I hope we cross paths in the next world, Sir. Thank you and may the Lord keep and provide for your family!! In Jesus HOLY and matchless name I pray, AMEN!
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Amen.

Do you know Jesus?
Bob,
If you truly believe that Christ alone, paid for your sin, and purchased you “At The Cross” (what a powerful hymn/song to hear and sing), you have humbled yourself before Him, and you have asked His forgiveness, and repented of all selfishness and wrong doing, understanding only He could save you, and asked for Him to be Lord of your life - You belong to Jesus, and He has promised you everlasting life!
“8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
“16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one.” (John 10:27-30)
“8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:8)
In this case, your life is just getting started!
Those of us who are left, will be following you soon!
“16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
My brother, I look forward to seeing you there!
P.S. If you have any family who do not know Jesus, PLEASE tell them about what Jesus, and what He did for you! And that you desire is to see them again in Heaven!
Someone earlier said make peace with God and leave the worry of politics to those who have not left this world yet. Those are very wise words. You (and your family) will be in my prayers everyday henceforth until you are called forth.
Praise God, you will be with your savior soon. Prayers for his comfort and peace for you my Brother.
I would tell every single person that I loved, that I loved them.
I would ask Jesus to forgive my sins.
I would tell God that I was eager to meet Him.
Much love and peace to you, brother Bob.
Oh, and in an interesting way, you are one of the lucky ones.
We are all appointed to die, but not all of us get to say goodbye to our friends.
