1. It's a lot safer to bark at someone from a distance (or behind their back) than it is to their face
2. I have days when I'm right in step with Jesus and I have days when I'm constantly yanking on the leash
3. When I prove I won't fight the limits of the leash, I get a longer, slacker leash
4. When I'm fed, rested and have my business taken care of, I get a spring in my step
5. But I look for excuses to be distracted from my business -- a noise, a smell, some action nearby -- oooh, what's that?
6. Most of the time I really would -- while singing in Goofy's clueless doh-de-oh-doh voice -- wander right off the curb in front of a car
7. If I'm thnking of eating (or doing) something I'm not suppossed to, I make sure I snarf it down quick, before I have time to think about it and before someone notices and calls me on it
8. Being an obedient, good dog in one area doesn't keep me out of trouble when I disobey in another
