"Revival is the extraordinary movement of the Spirit of God in the hearts of God's people that produces extraordinary results"( Richard Owen Roberts).  To the glory of God I have seen Him move in extraordinary ways in my life. First, true encounter with the Risen Lord was when I was on my way back to Seminary in 1970. I was heading back after being out for about a year for the birth of our first child. I headed back on a Sunday afternoon and stop off in Irving,TX to spend the night with some friends before re-enrolling on Monday. I got there rather late and went to the church. The service was going on. As I sat there God got all over me. I was deeply convicted and as the invitation was given I held on to the back of the pew, resisting as hard as I could but God won out. I went down to the front and a brother I knew at the church met me. I could not speak, I was weeping to hard. And here is what he said," Lay it all at the cross."  I did that night, laid everything at the cross and was filled with the Holy Spirit. This began a journey that has been extremely interesting, challenging and often difficult. Oh, Lord,'Do It Again!"
