"Are you listening to your life's music?"

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

Several generations ago, there was a country doctor who was an avid fox hunter. He often would take his dogs along and turn them loose to chase foxes while he waited for women to deliver babies. Back then, homes didn’t have screens so it was easy to hear the dogs.

There was also a barber in the area whose shop was a favorite loafing place for telling stories. The barber listened to the doctor tell his stories, had never been fox hunting, and so he persuaded the doctor to take him.

The two went up a mountain highway and turned the dogs loose. Soon the chase began at a furious pace. The gentlemen sat in the front seat of the truck and occasionally the doctor would nudge the barber and say, “Just listen to that music.” The barber listened carefully and said nothing. This same routine happened every few minutes until finally the barber said, “Doc, I’ve listened very closely for several minutes now and I can’t hear the music because your dogs keep barking.”

One man’s music is another man’s dogs barking. Are you listening to your life’s music?
