Tsst!
Here is an article that I wrote for our youth group’s newspaper. Hope you enjoy!

Many of you are familiar with my dog, Max. When some of you think of him, you think of a cute, cuddly brown beagle. But when others of you out there think of Max (you know who you are), a streak of fear runs through you. Recently, Brent and I have really gotten into the National Geographic show called The Dog Whisperer. Cesar Milan is a dog ‘psychologist’ who really understands dog behavior and instincts. It’s quite amazing when you watch an episode where a 120 lb. German Shepherd changes from a crazy, ravenous, attacking killing-machine into a trustworthy, loveable creature. Is Cesar a magician? Does he give the dogs steaks when the cameras are off? Actually, this dog trainer is so sold out to his belief that he is the pack leader, that he’ll confront the scariest of dogs, even to the point of getting bit several times.

Max almost died last week! Yikes! If it wasn’t for Brent being around to take care of him, I don’t know what we would have done. Max had 30 kidney stones in his bladder last week. Holy cow. He had to have surgery to take them out. Poor little guy! He’s at home now with a shaved stomach, resting and thinking of ways to score a steak. Yeah, he’s the same old Max.

Well, if you want to know why we’re insane, here’s why. We’ve got a ridiculous task list. And my husband and I continue to just pile it on! Here’s just a sample (it certainly doesn’t include everything!!):
-Sell a house in 1 month
-Write another screenplay in 2-4 weeks
-Direct another summer-long youth program at church, 8-10 weeks, starting in June
-Produce our animated short film (I’ll tell you the name later!)
-Start a high school by this fall at our church (yes, it’s probably happening)
-Create our two businesses (Synergy / TCS) to be self-sustaining by this fall
-Organize & facilitate PodCampAZ - It’s the weekend of November 3rd, so I’ve got time!
-Blog (why do I forsake it so?!)
-Travel with a bunch of teenagers to cities in Arizona and Californa & Mexico (but Mexico is with a bunch of 20-somethings)
-Make sure the dog looses weight & gets an x-ray on the paw
-Podcast, Podcast, Podcast
-Read, Read, Read
-Write, Write, Write
Well, off to another event! Pray for us!
