All over the place

Hey everyone, I know that many of you are aware of the thoughts and music that I post here and on YouTube. I do have another place where I enjoy posting some other thoughts and music. In the What's Happening blog, (this blog) I have written about and place the original music I have written and sung. Another blog,  Keep on Keepin on, is a place where I like to post other music.
If you have any interest in the other stuff, you can find it in these different locations.

With YouTube, do a search for john w. blodgett, or orrinson1. That will bring up most of the songs I have posted on these blogs.

I hope you enjoy all of the music and fun that I have been working on the last few years.

Response

I don't receive a lot of response on this blog. Even though I can see that it is visited by people from around the world. It always makes me wonder what those people think of it. And I think, "is there a response?" It helps me understand how God sees us sometimes. A term we hear used after an accident, when checking the person they might say, "he or she was unresponsive". I fear we are too unresponsive in our walk on this earth under Heaven. I do believe the main reason for our existence on this earth is go glorify God. After all that I have gone through in the last couple of years, I have to be thankful each morning for the new day. God has been so good to me and the more I lean on him and trust him the easier it is to trust him. But, it is also easy when things are going well, to take him for granted. I don't want to take him for granted and find myself wondering why things are not going well. So, I find it easier to enjoy as I read in Ephesians 5:19  "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." All day long. It helps me respond to my Savior. Then Psalm 95:2, Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

Isaiah 43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
