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. ๐ 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. ๐
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.
โHey, if Saul of Tarsus could see the Light....โ
Humblegunner of the Pasture?
But only post the first two sentences and then link to your blog for the rest of the story... :)
Condolences to you and the remaining family and friends of your parents.
Aww. Humblegunner going down the narrow path to righteousness. Good for him. Say hello from Beowulf9 for me if you speak to him again and tell him I’m so sorry he lost his parents.
Love the new digs though! Beeeeutiful!!!
LOL, well played!
and thank you for letting us know how he is doing and the fabulous pics!
This post really made me happy. Thanks!
And I do. As I recall, you ain’t really from the south unless you live between US Hwy 90 and the Gulf. Least that’s what some Cajuns told me. Anyone from north of 90? Carpetbaggers. ๐๐
Does that mean I can take him off my no Fly Zone List?
He was a pretty difficult guy - had to avoid him. As someone said, Maybe he’s a post “Saul of Tarsus” guy.
HG bump
Wow...is that what a personal click farm looks like!?
LOL!
He tormented me for a long time and I even left FR (and others did too) because of him.
I forgave him 100% and wish him the best, and am very happy to read this news. May God bless him even more.
Pleas send him my best.
Ah, HG found a Plan that he can Trust in
Thanks for the update! Now get a real job!
Divinity School?
If anyone could have used that, it was HG.
This is fake news.
Glad to hear he’s doing fine.
