| Mel my Pug Celebrates Her 1st Birthday |
|
| |
Back in May 2007, I blogged about a new addition to our family. Her name is Mel and she is a black pug. She does have a pretty cute mug:

Today is Mel's first birthday so I thought I'd post a picture of her from last May 2007 at about 10 weeks old when we got her for my birthday and today; she is 1 year old!
Mel at 10 weeks when we got her... Mel at 52 weeks (1 year old today)
  Well, that's my Mel...
By the way, Mel's name was selected by my grandkids. Mel's sister is named Mito and both of those names are directly related to a degenerative neuromuscular disorder called MELAS that continues to try to knock me down. But I fooled that sly serpent; I'm sitting so I can't get knocked down and my disability is a Do It Sitting ABILITY!
Long story, short; today has been an awesome day! So many things have transpired today that are clearly in God's Hands all the way; even I am amazed at how my ministry has touched so many folks all over the world. Even today, with my "real and open" approach to telling you what it is like living at the belly button level, complicated by certain events that God allows to happen, only for me to blog about it so that somebody, somewhere, sometime is touched and understands that they are not alone in whatever they are experiencing. That blog is here if you want to read it.
Today has been one of equally shocking days of events that ultimately people will see God's mysterious ways and He will get the glory. I'm struggling to write this blog because today has been emotionally draining. But don't worry Mike, your curiosity will be satisfied soon and you will once again see how awesome our God is at times when He appears nowhere around to help. God has had everything planned and it was simply up to me to write what I do when I am inspired to write what I am inspired to share with you all.
And honestly folks, today is not one of my anointed days to blog but today's events will show you that God is still in control even when the biggest turmoils are happening. Take a step back and look. He is there!
Oops... Mel just bit me on my leg and told me to stay on topic. I'm trying, I'm trying! LOL
God bless you all and if you like Mel's looks for her birthday at 1 year, give her a star. I know that this blog is not quite worthy of a star but Mel is. After all, it's her birthday!
May God receive the glory!
