Letter to Julia 20120508

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

Aaaaaaaa!  It's so busy!  I've been on the go since yesterday morning, only stopping to sleep last night.  I spent this day giving away cashews, dancing at the goth club, checking out new hairstyles, sorting out groceries, voice training for 2 hours, scrubbing an old dinner table, cleaning out my cooler, picking cashews, transplanting a baby cashew, watering my yard, watering my parents' yard, watering the crops, pulling out weeds, going to the night market, portioning out chicken, now I'm writing a love letter to my sweetie, next I have to gut and fillet fish after I pray the night prayer.  How on earth did I fit all that into one day?  Remind me to show you how to gut and fillet fish.  Oh, you'll love it!  Just call it "fashionable".

All this work is making me feel a bit silly.  I forgot that I had to put away my laundry.  I didn't realize how hectic a country bumpkin's life can be.  It's now 11:09pm, and almost time to go to sleep if I'm to post this letter in the morning while I go dancing after I buy some beef.  On Wednesday I won't be posting a love letter because I think I'll take time out to be a lazy bum, and grill a fish.  Please forgive me?  I love you!  Kissums?  Smoochums?  Huggems?  Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll just lie back, snack on sunflower seeds, and watch "I Dream Of Jeannie".

Qur'an 20120508

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

10.  And they say, "What!  When we lie hidden and lost in the earth, shall we indeed be in a creation renewed?"  No, they deny the meeting with their Lord!

11.  Say, "The Angel of Death put in charge of you, will take your souls.  Then shall you be brought back to your Lord."

The Prostration 32:10-11

The Angel of Death put in charge of you, will take your souls.  Then shall you be brought back to your Lord.
