WOW – talk about inspiring – get some Kleenex

Posted on June 22nd, 2007 in Encouragement, Music by Fred McKinnon

Just gotta post this .. it’s incredible. First, kudos to the folks who shared it:

1: TonyMcCollum.Com posted it here
2: Robert Pooley (pastor friend of mine in Gulf Breeze, FL) then linked to it on his blog here (which is how I found out about it)

so .. I’m sharing it here. Hope you’re inspired like I was. No lie – tears welled up in my eyes. As a musician, I can appreciate any style or talent like this.

    Wow! Oh my gosh! I’m totally moved from the deepest place of my heart.

    Took me by surprise. I thought this was going to be another post with a “wink wink” afterwards like the “Oh Holy Night”. That guy was great. When is he singing at SSCC?

    I had actually seen this the night it aired and was blown away! Thank you for letting me see it again! I’m not sure this man ever prayed for God to give him success, but rather God gave him the opportunity to be successful! This man will bless so many with his voice…and, you, my friend have blessed so many of us with yours. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

    Fred,

    I watched this seven times and cried like a baby all seven times, and I’m not ashamed of it! Moral of the story – NEVER let go of your dreams. Fantastic.

    In a world with such cynicism, it’s incredible to see someone with such pure talent and no hype. Took my breath away.
