Have you ever gone through periods of time when everything is going wrong? Feels like a giant rain cloud is following you around wherever you go? That’s my life. Right now.
I can’t remember a time in my life when it has lasted so long and affected so many people. It just sucks.
For eight months now I have been led to believe that a well known LDS company was in the process of acquiring funds to purchase KZION and hiring me to manage the station. Several emails and phone conversations with the VP of Marketing throughout this past year led me to feel quite confident of this. I haven’t made any major life decisions based on this assumption but I have laid low when it comes to advancing KZION.
Last week I found out that the investors for this company instructed them to diversify outside of the LDS market because there is little money to be made in the LDS themed market. This includes not making any additional purchases of LDS businesses.
Major disappointment.
My daughter and son-in-law bought my house and we need to move quickly. They bought it as an investment. They’ll remodel and resell quickly. We need to find a place to live. Fast.
Huge stress.
My oldest son, wife and young daughter recently moved from our basement into their own place. The second day in their new home their car engine seizes and needs to be replaced. They don’t have any money, my son is a full time student and also works a full time job. We aren’t in a position to help much.
Huge stress.
My youngest son (Lives at home) bought a car recently and the brakes just went out.
Huge stress.
My oldest daughter has three kids and the youngest has been having some health issues. Not major problems but enough to cause us to worry.
Huge stress.
My wife has been having some heart problems.
Huge stress.
I need to decide what to do with KZION. I need to find a new job.
It appears that Deseret Book has purchased LDS Living and so all of my buy CD links on KZION are broken. I can’t get LDS Living to answer me on whether they will be fixed or not. It’s not like I have the time to fix over 5,000 links.
Stress, stress, stress.
Yeah, I know. It will all work out. Life always seems to find a way to work itself out.
In the meantime please shoot a prayer or two my family’s way.
Boy, I really don’t have any stress compared to what you’re going thru. I came across a scripture related to music today, it’s D&C 136:28.
Anyway, I know right now, it may be difficult at times to be happy, but you’re sure doing your part to help so many of us be happier (and comfort with problems) with the music you make available and share with KZION. You’ll be blessed for that and others as well.
There are always things and situations in life that are placed before us, that we don’t understand the reason, but thru faithfulness, it will be to our betterment.
You are in our prayers.
Thanks Ellis, I appreciate your comments. I’m sure it will all work out, I’m just getting worn down.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that your have to deal with so much stess John! I’m sorry to hear about so many problems are in you life right now. I hope everything will work out soon! Your don’t diserve all of this stess!
Ellis is right, you have really bless us with kzion and you will be blessed for that.
Hang in there and take care of yourself!
You are also in our prayers (or at least mine.)
Hey John thanks for all you do for us!
Hope things work out.
