"Do you sing along with the radio in your car?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

It starts early in your life. You go to school and it’s time for music. Your music teacher says, “Today class, we’re going to sing.” She plays something you know like “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” or “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” And you think, “Oh boy, I know this one!” So you sing at the top of your lungs, because you know this one and are sure to get an A in music.

But the teacher says, “Sweetheart, don’t sing so loud.” She plays it again and this time you sing softer, but you know the song and love it and you want an A so you sing from your heart.

Then the teacher says, “Honey, move to the back row.”

“But nobody can hear me from back there,” you say.

And she says, “I know.” So you hang your head and move to the back row. And now you don’t even sing with the radio when you’re alone in your car.

Today, please sing. Sing loudly regardless of what your teacher said. You see most of us go to our grave with our life’s music trapped inside.

Sing as if your life depended on it today as you listen to life and make a life, and not just a living.
