<br>
It’s John here once again, and it’s been a busy time! For starters,
I think I told you that distribution was retained by 4K Records, which
I’m real excited about! I have close control with people that I can talk
to each day to find out what’s going on, and that’s real important
to me.<br>
<br>
I recently had a meeting with the president of </span></font><font size=2
color=blue><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:blue'><a
href="http://www.goglobalentertainment.com/" target="_blank">Go Global
Entertainment</a></span></font><font size=2 color=black><span style='font-size:
11.0pt;color:black'>, which is my international distribution company, and that
went great. I’m trying to get to know everybody that I’m dealing
with because I believe that talking face-to-face is very important and
I’m just starting to put all those pieces together. So I’m feeling
good about my label, 4K Records, and with that – The Grafting. I’ve
not given up on it! There are some of you who have heard it - God bless you for
all your amazing comments! - but I think we need to have more people listen! I
truly believe this album has a job to do and I’m responsible to make sure
people hear it. <br>
<br>
Because I have access to my distribution now, I have decided that 4K Records
will handle the electronic downloads, so we’re on<a
href="http://tinyurl.com/yzncuvl"> iTunes</a> and every other kind of tunes out
there! My record company is directly involved now, so if you have friends that
haven’t heard the record, please use iTunes! If YOU haven’t heard
the record yet, use iTunes! And make sure to write a review on their site
– tell me what you think and be honest – I’d like to hear it.
And if you still like a physical product, you can always get the CD through <a
href="http://johnwschlitt.com/">johnwschlitt.com</a>.<br>
<br>
On the home front, I recently finished wood projects for my daughter and
son… two bookshelves that turned out pretty nice if I say so myself!
They’re very happy with them as well.<br>
<br>
I’m currently working on my ceiling - the ceiling in my downstairs where
my shop and studio are. This is very important to me, because for 12 years
I’ve been looking at 2x12s from the floor above me, and I want to see a
ceiling! By the grace of Christmas presents from last year and such I finally
have the materials to start working on it, so that’s my next project
– and it’s not easy! <br>
<br>
On another note, we’re all healthy and doing well, but we’re really
fighting the financial thing like everyone else, which is scary sometimes. But
on the other hand I have to trust God, which is what He asked me to do a long
time ago and that’s what I’m doing now. So please pray for us; pray
for our finances and our health, and pray for the fact that I want to love God
more… I want Him to give me that desire to love Him more. I think that is
at the top of the list.<br>
<br>
I hope all of you are well and doing fine! God bless you all and thank you for
your prayers and concerns about my welfare. Love you all! Take care of
yourselves, keep praying, and keep close to Jesus.<br>
<br>
… John </span></font><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
