A farmer sent his accounting Border Collie, Seepeeay, off to gather in his eight sheep while 
he tended to other chores.

As I’ve been noting some recent meetings in a church in Little Rock that have broken out into a movement of God, I’ve reviewed some of the “principles of revival” that I learned back in the 1970s while with a revival ministry.
