170/100 Eugene Hensley
"He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief cornerstone." Acts 4:11
A shortened and converted school bus sat in the parking lot of Wal-Mart as I was leaving. I parked a short distance away and exited my vehicle to take a few photographs. After several shots a bearded fellow came loping out. I have been looking for a way to revitalize my photography, and what better way than the way it all began..... 100 Strangers.
The fellow pressed some pebbles into my hand and introduced himself as Eugene Hensley from Jamestown Tennessee. Eugene's mission in life is Jesus Rock Ministry. He offered me more stones, including the larger ones that surrounded his bus. He had painted them and inscribed prayers on them. On each of the pebbles Eugene had pressed into my hand he had written Jesus with a marker. "giving these is the greatest gift of all," he exclaimed.
Eugene lives in his bus with Jody his parrot and many five gallon buckets of pebbles. He keeps Jody's stall warmed with a candle, calling it his hillbilly incubator. He informed me he had traveled to Louisiana to bear witness at one of the local churches. I asked him to be part of my 100 Strangers project and he was happy to oblige.
Thank you Eugene, you are the 170th stranger in my 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the flickr group page.
