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.
I have been in FR a long time. I did not know you personally but am praying for you! God Bless.

May God grant you the peace that surpasses all understanding in your remaining weeks months, and hopefully years.
May you live long enough to see Hillary do the perp walk in her orange jumpsuit...and then for many years after!
God Bless Mike Jessup.
Mark.......
Hope you’re getting better.
Remembering you in prayer today, asking that you’ll be healed, and that God’s will be done.
Praying for you today.
May God keep watch over you, and yours FRIEND.

Be assured, dear FRiend, that I offer prayers for your comfort, your strength and your fine physical and mental health. This I promise to you.
I just now found your “opus” - you’re a good man mkjessup. Godspeed.
Offering my prayers for a full recovery. God Bless You and Keep You.
Thank you for taking the time to say goodbye. It is touching that you feel so close to the Freeper Family that you wish to have this final conversation. You will be missed of course. In recent years I have curtailed my participation a great deal, and I’m glad I happened to spot your post. You and I have conversed over the years and I consider you a FRiend of the first order. I will miss you, but at 82 I’m certain that I shall be joining you before long. I pray that the Lord will give you strength, comfort and peace as you make your way to the Veil. May HE be your shepherd as you walk through the Valley of the shadow of death. God speed my FRiend.
BTTT.....we’re here for you MK....
Keep your chin up. Will keep you in my prayers.
BTTT.....
Isaiah 40:31.
I will pray for comfort and peace as you move on, dear FRiend of Liberty.
