Various people have told us stories about what they took as God speaking through Bob. Bob has been known to say things that seemed above him or that he could not have understood. Please tell us your stories.

I heard Bob get up and speak at a funeral once. I can’t remember exactly what he said at the time, but it was better and more meaningful than what that minister had to say. It was very impressive!

Bob gets to the essence of a situation quickly. He says things that might not be at first understandable but when you break it down, is overflowing with meaning. He’s a poet and therefore speaks a bit cryptically. Nice to hear philosophy during the day rather than a bunch of needless bs.

Bob is not God.
Is Bob God? Is God Bob? Not a hard question for me to answer. No, he’s not. But I do believe he’s a lot closer to God than I am. He’s more in tune with the universe and grounded than I am. He is himself all the time, and that allows his spirituality to shine through. It’s what I believe has helped him survive a harsh life; what allows him to get out of bed every day; what gives him the energy to just put one foot in front of the other when he has somewhere to go and no ride; and what keeps him open to love and receive love when he’s been so brutally hurt.

Bob sighting on Pg.78 of ENVY mag!!! (the issue with the argyle sweater guy on the cover). This is the section of the magazine that features photos of stylish and generally perma-tanned people drinking and partying at bars and clubnights. A little background on me: i’m an alcoholic in recovery. I was flipping thru this section of ENVY mag feeling sorry for myself and ENVIOUS that i can’t have fun drinking like the people in these photos, what did i see but a photo of Bob grinning & holding his keyboard with his cap on sideways. I laughed my ass off and those feelings of self-pity were instantly removed. I don’t think Bob is God but in this instance God defiintely was somehow channeled to me through Bob…or something like that.I can’t explain it but after seeing that photo of Bob amongst all those grinning hipsters and whatnot immediately got me off the pity pot, brought me back down to Earth and i remembered what is really important in life. Definitely a God/Bob moment!!!

I have known Bob a long time and he can amaze me and infuriate me at the same time. But one time that sticks out– when I was with Bob and a newcomer at IHop- the way Bob spoke about recovery was incredible! I learned a lot from Bob that night.

Bob asked me for a ride one time in front of Premiere video. I said no with a lame excuse. I asked inside about the short, keyboard holding man. Sam told me that Bob was a very nice man that would not hurt a fly. I had changed my mine but when I looked he was gone.
Two weeks later I saw Bob again in front of the video store. I asked him if he needed a ride and of course he said yes. The ride I had with Bob was memorable. Everything I have read about Bob on this site seems so accurate in what I experienced in 15 minutes.
In my everyday hustle and bustle, I forget that there are truly outstanding people out there with hearts of gold that I just don’t let in. It made me feel good that I could give Bob a ride. It made me feel better that I was fortunate to meet a person with a heart of gold.
