I spoke to John (Humblegunner) the last two days to see where he was, was he okay, etcetera, and I was absolutely floored to hear how well he's doing!
He left FR to attend Divinity School with the intent to pursue a life of Christianity and live in the Love of Our Lord. He had no internet there, or cell phone access, and devoted his time to becoming closer to Jesus and to God. He mentioned he may even become an ordained Minister.
His parents sadly passed away, but left him a 200 acre cattle ranch and a stack of money, with which he has built a house on the land and purchased a new truck, both of which he is grateful and proud to have.
I got the sense he'd return to FR, but don't expect him to change THAT much. π He'll still be the grouchy old Humblegunner we all know and love. He'd just be doing it with the blessing and love of Jesus, these days. π
We discussed organizing a Free Republic shoot, heck, he's got the property for it! I'm wondering about March or April '24.
He sent me some pictures and they are posted, below.
PJ, I saw what you wrote before it got pulled. So did humblegunner. He told me to tell you that your wife is still....

Good news! Sorry about his parents, but praying the Lord uses him to His glory.
Glad to hear it! HG and I didn’t agree on his style here — who cares —, but happy to see he’s pursuing a great course of action and is well.
Thankful. :)
My sincere best wishes to Humblegunner!!πππ
Hey, heβs handsome.
Good. So now you know the REAL REASON for the departure.
Bkmk
Let me know when. If I can be there I will.
Best,
L
That is very cool! Thr landscape screams Texas, I’d love to stop by and say hello one of these days.
I thought he’d married Jim Hoft.
Thanks for the update. Prayers. Glad he is still grouchy.
Bump for later.... Thanks to all.
I want to subscribe to his blog!
If I had guessed, that would not have been my first guess about what had happened to him. Or even in the first volume.... Still, "the greater the sinner, the greater the saint." So I expect Humblegunner Votive Candles to be on sale within a few years.
Pssst! And you would have been RIGHT not to have guessed that. Laz now knows the REAL REASON.
I miss HG
I think about his 4th of July fireworks when riding a lawnmower as he took incoming bottle rockets
Did that happen at "Divinity School?"
