Today’s interlude is called “Simple Faith”.   I recorded this as I prepare to leave the country for a much-needed week of vacation with my wife and kids.  As we are packing and preparing to leave our youngest son, Andrew, tested positive for the flu virus.

Oh how good it is to be back home, in the studio, and playing the piano.  I spent the last week in Vegas with my wife and I could use this short interlude as much as anyone.

Today’s interlude is the first video podcast.   This segment was originally broadcast on Facebook Live at Facebook.com/FredMcKinnonMusic.   The beauty of this morning broadcast was the real-time interaction with viewers who took time to listen, pray, meditate, and reflect.   It was very meaningful to me as I observed several people who I knew … Continue reading Worship Interludes: Selah, Breathe [Live Video, March 9, 2017] →

“Be Still”.   These are the words that stood out to me in my morning devotion from Psalm 46: 10a. Be still, and know that I am God. It’s a good 9 hours after reading that when I finally sit down to express it musically.  It seems like days ago. My hope is that as … Continue reading Worship Interludes: Be Still [March 7, 2017] →
