Who Said It … Brent Milligan
Brent Milligan is a Nashville-based record producer and session player of rock and pop/rock records. He has worked on many gold and platinum albums. He married his high school sweetheart and has three children. Millie—that's what his friends call him—says, "I work mostly in my own studio. I also play some sessions on bass (and some guitar). Other than that, I hang out with my family and try to play tennis as much as I can." What He Said … Seeking Shelter
Have you ever been in the midst of a really stressful day at work and suddenly wished you could escape to a quiet, peaceful, life-giving place?
The music business often thrives on chaos. I tend to have a cycle of seasons of long days of chaos followed by short periods of normality. During the busy seasons, I sometimes get to a place where I can't see the end of the tunnel and feel badgered on many sides by demands from clients, family, and church.
It's easy for me to succumb to frustration or despair when I have more tasks in front of me than I can handle or have tasks I don't enjoy doing. However, I can usually find a moment in the madness to excuse myself and have a moment to ask God to show me to his secret place, where the things of this world fall away.
Life in our productive years is often a whirlwind of commitments, responsibilities, and deadlines. I believe it has been this way for thousands of years. God knows we need peace, and He offers Himself as a sanctuary. We only need to step in.
