Message to Bruce Hendrix:
Brother Bruce Hendrix, Please turn yourself in to the authorities or contact an attorney and surrender through him. Do not allow fear and a feeling of hopelessness to determine your decisions. Do not do anything to harm yourself or anyone else, if you do in fact have cause to feel remorse or regret. Think of your children and grandchildren…there is still hope and Heavenly Father still loves you, do not despair. Have faith and hope… for justice must be answered and it should always be tempered with mercy, even when we fall short and fail to show mercy. Please choose right and surrender…hoping you will read this post here and know that you are still loved and there is deep concern for you… Some of us are beginning to realize or consider you may be a victim as well.
