No doubt, there are seasons of our lives. For whatever reason there are just some times each year that we pull out the old vinyls and give 'em a spin. Ok, i can't speak for you, but I pull out my old vinyls and wear 'em out just one more time. This past week has been quite the collection of old music, reading and re-reading.

I just finished a book by K.P. Yohannan called Revolution In World Missions. You might recognize it's title because it was advertised as a Free Book in a add on Biblegateway.com for almost a year. Which is exactly how I got the book. Finally, I decided to go ahead and just get the book and stop being teased by the offer of a free book. After finishing Gene Edwards, A Tale Of Three Kings I had a reading craving that couldn't be quenched, staring at my long row of "books i want read" I thought I would give K.P. a chance. Am I ever glad I did and this book will be one that I put on the "re-read shelf". K.P. will convict you to live less for yourself and more for the Two-Thirds world that is in tremendous need, not merely that they should have food, water and shelter but that they should have the only thing that feeds a persons soul, give than eternal home and saves their lives, the gospel. 

I have been convicted and now... I'm not so sure what I want to do. I know there are tons of things I could do, but I do no what I don't want to do. I don't want to convince myself that what I'm doing is enough and in time surely, slowly drift back to a life that is self-serving.
