Dr. J's SOAP Notes

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Hi, my name is Tucker.

I want to confess that I was naughty today.

First, however, I want to thank those who recently sent me all the emails asking why I did not get to go to the spa with my brother and sister. I was not naughty that day! Mommy said she wanted to spend some time with me and she said I didn't need my hair cut till Thanksgiving.

Anyway, back to my confession. I was naughty. This morning, I caught, and ate, a baby bunny. I know it sounds really bad, but mommy always yells at them to get out of her yard anyway. How bad could it be to eat one??

Well, if that isn't enough, this afternoon, I smelled the savory aroma of BEEF. It was 2 blocks away. It was drifting through the air like a butterfly. I lifted my nose in the air and followed the scent. You won't believe what someone left me.........T-bones! Yea, all in a pile. I brought one home! Delicious! Unfortunately, I left crumbs on the ottoman. Whoa, mommy was not happy! I heard her say I might not get dinner tonight. Thus, the sad eyes in the above picture!

I am thinking she will forget all about my naughtiness by dinner time. I am just crossing my paws that she goes out to mow. She loves that crazy stuff! I don't mind it either. One of these times, I am going to catch all the grass clippings in my mouth!! I guess I love grass too!

Have a good night everyone!

What a great little story, its written so well.. I was just surfing through a few blogs, it caught my attention and I read it all. Very unusual for me, as a very busy person.... Have you thought about putting a book together for children, I think it would work very well with real photos of the stars in each story (the pets)... Thanks for making me smile today. Sue.

ya know Sue, I wonder if God has this little plan for me to write a book sometime. I have had many signs leading me in that direction! Thanks for your post and I am so glad to have made you smile!

Who is Dr. J

Background:

She is originally from Spencer, Iowa. Malea is a graduate of Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. She attended medical school at the University of Osteopathic Medicine in Des Moines, Iowa. She graduated from her Family Practice Residency program at Iowa Lutheran Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa in 1998.
In her spare time, Malea trains clients on physical activity and nutrition, spends time with friends and her wonderful father, and loves to watch football. What is better than bodybuilding? “Wolverine football on Saturday and Vikings football on Sunday!” Malea also loves basketball as March Madness rounds out a wonderful basketball season. As you may have guessed, Malea is very sports oriented, having been a four-sport athlete in high school, and a three-sport athlete in college.

Why I do what I do:

Jensen approaches her medical practice with the same determination as anything else she does. “The effort to understand how to promote more active lifestyles has been of great importance to the health of this nation. Schools, workplaces, and families need to weave physical activity into the fabric of their daily lives. The key to lifetime fitness is consistency!”

What I Do Away From Work

Dr. Malea Jensen is the total package. She’s exceptionally bright. She’s remarkably attractive. She’s a doctor. She’s a bodybuilder. “I have been competing in bodybuilding since 1996,” Jensen explains. “Bodybuilding was never a whim”, Jensen says. “I have always admired men and women with muscle. Initially, it was not my ambition to get up on stage and pose, but this has been a way to extend my competitiveness. It is an ambition of mine to keep fit and look lean, with muscular detail.”

She credits her father for pushing her to “give 100 percent,” whether it was school, work, or one of the many sports at which she excelled.

Mission Trips

Why does Dr. J go on mission trips? You are probably thinking I go so I can do medical work. It’s funny, our culture has formed us from our earliest days to see our significance in terms of WHAT we do. It is old school thinking that mission work is all about giving and doing for the poor. This is true to a certain degree. Missionaries, when asked if they were successful during their mission trip, often speak of their success by what they have done, whether spiritually or materially. But really our significance as people comes not from what we do, but from WHO we are. So, to answer why I go on mission trips...it is for nothing less than for the sake of conversion...my own conversion! This conversion has to do with a change in the way that I view my own life - what I do, what I have, who I count as friends, what questions I ask myself, what issues I pay attention to, who and what I give my allegiance to. In essence, I have to leave my world where I have control and go someplace I have never been...to a place where I am poor and powerless. It is hard to do this at “home.”
Any time you enter a third world country, you will see the poor, but more importantly, you enter into the world of a deprived people and share not only their pain and struggle, but also their hope! To see this is so amazing!
