Bill "Wild Bill" Harper

I came from a place many of you may know well, a life of drugs and alcohol, bad relationships, dysfunctional family life.  Then I started my own dysfunctional family when I was much too young and irresponsible to do so.

I spent most of my life chasing some kind of rush, a feel good, something to help me escape the pain of reality.  Life in the real world wasn't all I'd hoped it would be, but it was fun, drinking beer and raising hell with all my crazy riding buddies.

Then it all came crashing down, and the turn of events that followed are all too numerous to mention here.  I had lost EVERYTHING.  After all I held dear was gone, and the people I loved most in my life were no longer in my life, the only one I had to turn to was God.

My life could have turned out a lot different and had I turned to Him earlier, but I didn't know what I didn't know and I had to go through what I had to go through.  See back then I didn't realize that God had a perfect plan for my life and that every thing happens for a reason, and had I not gone though all those terrible things that brought me to the Lord I would be what I am now, and that's a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.  And I can do this and still be a biker (which is all I really wanted to be) and I don't have to try to escape reality any more, because I trust the Lord, and even though I still go through painful times in my life, I know everything is gong to work out for the best, because no matter what happens God will get me through it. AMEN!
