Letter to Julia 20120412

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Yeah, it's chili time again at Casa de Julia! This time, the batch of chili was made with a cheap kind of chilli sauce (instead of tomato paste) that her cook bought in bulk, because it was cheap. Thus her cook couldn't eat too much of the chili, even though it tasted good, because it gave the cook gastritis, or acid reflux. But the chili worked excellently when matched with other items! So on the menu tonight is chicken and beans tacos, made with fried chicken, chili, blackened onions, and home made soft flour tortillas with BIG air bubbles in them. Oh, what a soft and savory dinner!

Allah will test the faith of everyone. We can't just say, "We believe," and not expect our faith to be tested. This is something I can't save you from, nobody can save you from Allah except Allah. This is your personal relationship with God, where your own personal convictions and decisions will be put to the test, for God and the the world to see your true colors. Do the evil ones think they will not be called to account? In the end, Allah will save the righteous, and destroy the wrongdoers.
