Johns Observations

The worst thing that can happen to singer is sickness. A trumpet player can play sick…A guitar player can strum while sick…A piano player can work while sick…A singer however, is no good while sick.

Our instrument as singers lie within us. Even the most mild form of sickness can alter our vocal abilities, make us susceptable to injury, or permanantley damage our voice altogether. Though it is very durable, the human voice is a very sensative and fragile instrument.

I relate our voice to our spiritual life. We have Christ inside us. Even the slightest amount of sin in our lives can wreck our relationship with him. He is the sustainer of our life, he keeps us going from day to day, and we rely on Him for everything. If we allow sin to infiltrate our bodies, he is not allowed to work.

Singers who smoke, drink, use drugs are just killing their voices. Perhaps not today, but down the road; their voice will pay the price. Singers who do demand outrageous performance schedules will one day pay the toll. Singers who dont take care of their voice will one day pay the toll.

Christians who demand their bodies to put up with drinking, drugs, smoking, or tobacco usage will one day pay the toll. Christ is Holy, and he doesnt tolerate evil. By us putting things of this nature into our bodies is like injecting the Holy Spirit with venom. We will pay a toll for it. Engaging in adultery, pornography, and immorality of any kind will result in danger for the Christian. It only takes the “appearance of evil” to put a wedge between us and our Savior.

So, the tip of the day for singers: Eat right, listen to your body, sing smart, stay hydrated, stay healthy

For Christians: Live right, flee from evil, dont smoke-drink-or use drugs, keep the Temple clean.
