I have read and participated in a few threads complaining about senseless BS. One our our fishing buddies is hanging on for dear life right now. He is dying of liver failure. He just asked me to post this and ask for prayers for him. Set aside all drama and lift a prayer up for Doug. He might have a few hours or dodge a bullet and last a few days or months. Pull together and help a true fishermen get through the hard times in life.

Will do and that's a shame me of my wife fished with Doug many many years ago

He is reading the replies in his hospital bed right now so please speak to him directly.

Have not had the pleasure of meeting you Doug but I will be praying for you. I have heard nothing but great things from Roy, Pat, and the rest of the Hubbard gang about you. Hope you pull through buddy and I can meet you out on the lake one day!

Nick

Praying God will be with you through this time.

Hang in there Doug you got more hybrids to catch let the doctors and the lord work there magic!

Glad to have met you Doug at Moes, hang on my friend.

Doug we haven't met yet but I've read your name many times. I know you love the water and fishing as much as any of us. Good luck and hang in there- we'll be praying for you

I'm sorry to hear this about a fellow fisherman. Hang in there, and we are praying for you.

Prayers going up from a fellow Guide who knows & believes in the power of prayer. May the Lord bless you and your Family and bring the power of peace that only he can deliver.

Doug I have met you several times at the lake and fished beside you. We are praying for you and your health

May god be with you and your family at this time..I'll be praying for ya, hang in there.

Brother Doug, our Creator is truly compassionate and you are in good hands. If God decides to take you then I'll see you up there later. If He wants you to be around on earth give me a holler and I'll pick ya up to go fishing. Be strong, you are in good hands buddy

PS: I'll suffer with you.

Hang in there Doug

Hi Doug. I'm friends with all the guys and help run RHSA. You and I have met several times over the years. I've had you on my Prayer List since I first found out you were ill. I put together that package of papers for Roy for Social Security, Disability etc. for you. Also I gave Roy some funds from the guys and Roy put it in a card to you. I've told so many people about what you are dealing with. I've fished Hubbard a long time like you have and have seen you out there many times over the years. I would always know it was you because like your current boat, you always had your dog in your other boat. I also gave Roy an Acceptance letter to give you called The Master's Key. I wrote it in the middle of the night years ago. I was literally woken up physically at 3AM and wrote down what I was told to write. The result was The Master's Key. That letter has been used all over the U.S. and around the world. It's my prayer obviously for you to be healed. My other prayer is I want to see you in Heaven. Take a look at the letter and see what you think.

Years ago a young couple lost a baby. They asked me to write a story. It was titled "Why God Why?" In the story I mentioned that, "Sometimes God takes the pain away from the body. And sometimes God takes the body away from the pain." The story ended, "Your child is right here waiting. Right here waiting for you with Me." No matter what happens I want us all together fishing in Heaven. Finally. 25+ years ago my Father In Law took me to the hump out from Rush Creek. Some guys called it "Mystery Hump." Well as of today we will be removing the Mystery. I hereby proclaim on this day, April 30, 2016 that the hump will now officially be called "Doug's Hump." I have fished by you there for years with buddies and/or my wife in the boat. She's the cute blonde! But I've watched you guide many people and pull in some huge hybrids over the years. Sorry for rambling. They've never found the off button with me. In fact I fished late on the lake but Roy asked me to see this post so I did. Just want to leave with these:

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 "So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord."

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 "When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: �Death is swallowed up in victory.� �O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?� The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

John 14:1-4 �Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father�s house are many mansions. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.�

I hate to have to be the one to tell you this. Your mansion is right next to Roy's! I know why would God not have better zoning laws? There's goes the neighborhood! All kidding aside Doug we love you and have been praying for you. I told someone the other day that like Scripture tells us if one of us is sick. We are all sick. We've all been sick about your sickness.

Yours In Christ-
Frank.
