Letter to Julia 20130608

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

Hi Julia, my love.  How are you feeling today?  I'm trying to slow down.  There's a lot going on, and I'm just trying to be patient, and grateful for what Allah has given me.  Remember, the goal of our marriage is to slow down, and enjoy our life and love together with each other.

So I'm just lazing around on the floor, watching the best and most-watched TV station in the world mashaAllah, Shadowplay TV....  Hey, it's the Jeff Beck Group.  I learned my right hand technique from watching him, but I stay away from effects and the bridge.  My bass influence, I suppose.  I had steak and rice for dinner.  What a huge chunk of fat that was, about half meat and half fat.  It's going to be a hot night.  Good thing I have the AC on.  One of my favorite simple pleasures is steaming hot white rice with light soy sauce.  A piece of nostalgia from when that's all I had to eat, was rice and soy sauce.  Sometimes I didn't even have soy sauce.

Qur'an 20130608

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

120.  Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with you unless you follow their form of religion.  Say, "The Guidance of Allah: that is the Guidance."  Were you to follow their desires after the knowledge which has reached you, then would you find neither Protector nor Helper against Allah.

121.  Those to whom We have sent the Book study it as it should be studied: they are the ones that believe therein.  Those who reject faith therein: the loss is their own.

The Heifer 2:120-121
