Testimony of Russell Henson

I have asked Bro. Russell Henson to come back this week and share his personal testimony with us. I went to school with Russell and thought I knew him pretty well during those teenage years of his life. I was there with him at the Hospital when his first born son was born. With all of our history God was one thing that I did not know how Russell felt about or even if he had any feelings or thoughts on the subject. I could tell you that Russell was a good friend. I could tell you that he was not scared of anything. He rode with me so that makes that point! He was one of the fastest runners that I knew. When we played football against other people they were shocked with his quickness. I could throw the ball as far as I could and Russell could run it down leaving everybody else in the dust. He was competitive beyond his size. We used to play king of the mountain on a dirt hill at his house and it is a miracle that somebody did not get killed. We all played to win. He did a man's work while still very young. He loved to have practical jokes as I learned on a trip to Galvastine, TX where we not only pranked each other but cars passing below our motel room. All in all I can tell you that I felt blessed to call him my friend. But I missed the change that took place to where God played a bigger part in his life. Like you I look forward to what he has to share.
