Refuge became part of my family… in June 1997.
What is a random task that you do that not many people know about? If I tell you, I will lose my reward. (editor’s note – Bill also plays random instruments when working – including digeridoos and organ pipes – not the pipe organ, just individual pipes from the organ – and also makes a mean yama cold brew coffee.)
I became a Christian… I was raised as a Catholic, but had no personal relationship with Jesus Christ until November 9, 1970. After several years of deep rebellion and involvement in the drug culture and hippie movement of the late 60s, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ at a youth Bible study in Long Beach, CA.
