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. 😂 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. 😊
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.
I have always liked Humblegunner. He got a lot of people’s panties in a twist and I liked that. Too many pansies here, and everywhere else for that matter.
I am really glad he is doing so well. I really need to get closer to our Lord and Savior myself. It is a tough road sometimes.
Why are you clogging up FR with a bunch of pictures of cows!!??? Bytes don’t grow on trees!!
Glad to hear HG is doing well and pursuing such a noble calling. (Theology AND cows.)
He’s like the obnoxious uncle at Thanksgiving, but he’s OUR uncle darn’it.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHa!
Looks like he’s doing very well indeed. Is this shoot going to be invitation only?
Wonderful he and Eaker were good buddies until that fateful day damit good to hear he is ok
Forgive me for asking, but, is this real?
Is what you just described an actual circumstance?
I hope so, it sounds like an unexpected outcome, but something very nice.
Some of us here on FR can write such convincing satires whenever they chose to, so, I have to directly ask.
I wish him luck and happiness in his sincere and ambitious goals!
I appreciate the update. I wanted to know.
Looks like a pretty damn good life to me...but I’m a little drunk right now.
Post of the year!
Thank you Laz.
Great update on Humblegunner
Great news! Glad to hear HG is doing well. I wish he had a blog...
Now thats funny
I am game for another shoot.
Yes, the shoot will be invitation-only.
Yer invited. :^)
“...we all know and love.”
We do?
Great news!
Woah, nice farm! He better arm up and bunker down the way things are going with John Kerry’s /Bill Gate’s evil plan to rid farms.
Well I’ll be....
I like that there’s a double circuit high voltage power line running across the farm.
Laughed out loud :)
Yes, and he mentioned you by name, and how much he appreciated your love.
LOL.
