Bill is one of the most sensitive people that I've ever met.  And speaking of meetings....well our first meeting is quite a story.  After discovering Bill's myspace page and adding him as a friend, Bill asked me an unusual question.  He asked if I handled management and what I might be able to do for him.  This peaked my interest in learning more about him.  I had no intention of being a manager, but something inside of me felt as though God had something planned.

It just happened that I was about to take a trip to visit Maria Long in Arkansas.  I was literally going to be leaving the next day.  So I took a closer look at Bill's profile and discovered that he lived in Douglasville, Georgia.  I didn't know where that was so I went to find out using an online map.  That's when God really began touching my heart.  So I stopped and said a little prayer.  I asked God to confirm with me if he wanted me to meet Bill in person on this trip that I was about to take.

So I went ahead and typed in Douglasville, GA into the map search.  When I zoomed out from the city view I discovered that it was just minutes away from the route I was going to take to Arkansas.  Now God's presence was really weighing on me.  It was obvious to me that Bill & I needed to meet in person.  I sent Bill a message asking him to call me and what was taking place with me at that moment.

Bill called me an couple hours later.  He was amazed at the story I had to tell him and welcomed me to stop in on my way to Arkansas to meet him and his family.  It was a very pleasant experience.  His testimony was truly inspiring. 

A paraphrased version goes something like this:
Bill had been a rocker in his early years and he was recognizable in his local area.  He had a very lucrative business and was taking care of his family very well.  But a time came when he put his guitars away and focused completely on worldly things.  In time his successful business fell on hard times and he had little else to do but lean on the Lord.  Experiencing a terminal illness in his father in law, Bill discovered a new calling on his life.  He asked for the Lord to guide him in his steps to find his purpose.  God soon required that Bill give up everything, pull his guitars back out from under the bed and start a music ministry.  God not only provided the means for this ministry, but also other band members to get the ministry off and rolling.  Ever since God has continued to provide  the means for this ministry to grow.

Bill's music will touch your heart & your spirit.  It will minister to you and awaken you to needs all around you.  I have been blessed to visit with Bill a few more times since that first visit and each time I come away with the sense of being with a man who's heart is similar to my own.  I encourage you to listen to Bill's music and also befriend him on myspace.  This is a man you will enjoy having as a friend.  I know I do.
