Re: Rev. Chester Hensley

Hello Brother,

Rev. Hensley was your grandfather? That's pretty neat. I knew of the Reverend as a young man- my pastor was a good friend of his, and I received the Holy Ghost in one of his revivals at our church. Wow... that was thirty years ago next month.

From what I remember, he was indeed a humble man, who always put the focus where it belonged- squarely on the Lord Jesus Christ. I don't pay attention to the rumors and gossip surrounding him after his death, because I know what I saw, and the Spirit bear witness that he was a true man of God. I do remember one thing he said, "Don't ever worry about lifting someone up too high, cuz there's always plenty of wet blankets around to put out that fire!"

My wife and I continue to cherish the memories we have of him. He was certainly one in a million.
