In a lengthy letter addressed to “Gator Nation and cherished friends,” the former Nebraska lawmaker said: “Gator Nation needs a president who can keep charging hard, Melissa deserves a husband who can pull his weight, and my kids need a dad who can be home many more nights. After extensive prayer and lots of family tears, I today asked UF Chair Mori Hosseini and our Board of Trustees to initiate a search for a new president of the university.”

Sasse explained that his wife, Melissa, suffered an aneurysm and a series of strokes in 2007 and has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is dealing with memory issues.  …

“I’m going to remain involved in serving our UF students — past, present, and future — but I need to walk arm-in-arm with my dearest friend more hours of every week,” he continued. …

Dear brother Sasse,
The Lord is able to deliver her. I have dealt with it for years, and have literally felt that demonic spirit move through my body down to my legs, I have never mentioned that when it happened until I went to a Doug Staton service ,he was delivered of epilepsy and felt a spirit move through his body down to his legs. He is delivered of it. He is an evangelist.
Mr Sasse’s wife needs deliverance.
