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.
save me a good seat on the Conservative side of the aisle...see you soon....
Praying for your strength an comfort.
Prayers for you dear fellow American!
Prayers up for His will for you!
BFL
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Love you for making a difference to others.
Just remember, mkjessup, that all you see before you was created by God.
You say God is calling you home.
Please don’t forget to look out your window to see all that God has brought.
What you see has been there for thousands of years. God has made harmony for us all to see.
Many never to notice this. And those who don’t will die unfulfilled.
May God bless you and your family. May He be by your side every step of the way.
Prayers for you my dear brother in Christ.
Godspeed you on your journey, both here and beyond. You know God’s physical expiration date for us is not always what we think it is. You have the faith, now rest in it and see what He does.
Jesus, please cover Mark, amen.
God bless, FRiend
My dear brother in Christ -
I don’t know you, but appreciate your post - and look forward to knowing you in the eternal realm - in light of eternity - we all have only a few days left.........
“Come, Lord Jesus!” He cannot come soon enough.........
Bump!
Prayers to you fellow FReeper. God bless you very much.
In my thoughts. Thanks for all the time you have invested here.
Thanks for the ping Louis.
God be with you ‘til we meet again.
Best of luck. God Bless You and Yours.
Prayers for you my FRiend.
Prayers for you and your family.
