In 1960, Billy Boyd Lavender made a profession of faith and was baptized into a family of Christians. Subsequently, that tumultuous decade brought about a slower spiritual maturity. However, the Lord kept Billy under his umbrella of protection and waited patiently for his rededication in August of 1974.
Since the summer of 1974, Billy has been a student of prophecy and Bible study. For the past forty-four years, he has referred to the Bible as the "language book of God." At times the still small voice in his heart would be ignored to his detriment, but other times it could be heard loud and clear and with certainty.
After a twenty-six-year career in information technology, Billy's health began to fail. He and his wife, Cheryl, appealed to God. What seemed to the doctors to be his certain demise proved to be just another opportunity for God to reveal himself as the master physician. Beginning in 1991 until now, God has spared him from a heart transplant, a high-speed head-on collision, and a brain hemorrhage.
It Can't Be Luck ascribes all honor and glory to his Lord who has stuck closer than a brother throughout his life.
