Letter to Julia 20130925

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

I finally managed to get that tree off the roof of the old house at Casa de Julia inshaAllah!  WOO HOO!  WOO HOO!  WOO HOO!  WOO HOO!  I just wanna to start singing!  Juuuuuuuliaaaaa... Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuliiiaaaaa...  I had to cut the tree in half, then pull the top branches off before I could pull the trunk down.  A tree is a very heavy thing, Julia.  But it's down, finally.  Alhamdulillah.  Now to chop it into small pieces to burn it.  I'll keep the main trunk intact, though.  It'll be useful for discouraging unwanted vehicles from entering the driveway.

Please don't forget that as my girl, you are also a professional endorser of food products.  This can't be helped, because as long as you are my girl inshaAllah, people are going to go bonkers over what you eat and what food products you buy.  So please make a habit of going to your favorite restaurants with your buddies and enjoying your favorite foods, and please keep it halal.  Put your fear in the right place: fear Allah, not the humans.

Qur'an 20130925

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

5:4  They ask you what is lawful to them.  Say, "Lawful unto are things good and pure, and what you have taught your trained hunting animals, in the manner directed by Allah.  Eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it.  And fear Allah, for Allah is swift in taking account."

The Repast 5:4
