Letter to Erin 20150822

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

Hi Erin!  How are you feeling today?  You're probably all excited, huh?  Please be patient.  Don't be like one of those "Behind The Music" documentaries, where the musician's life flashes by in half an hour.  3 times.  There's a lot going on, a lot to be done, and a lot that I need to acquire before I build your house.  But it's all out of love, my love for you, my dearest wife.  I love you, and I need you.

Whoops!  I forgot the laundry room!  Very important.  I had to take away one of the guest bedrooms to make a laundry room.  The options here for clothes dryers are limited as for now: electric only.  I'm not too comfortable, and perhaps you wouldn't be, with your hanging your clothes outside on a clothes line like everybody else.  It's because you're a famous lingerie model made more famous by marrying some rock star.  We could possibly string up a line inside the house.

For dinner, it's fried rice with fried calamari.  We can get it done quickly if you fry the calamari downstairs, while I fry the rice upstairs.  How about dinner on the upstairs patio overlooking the garden?  There's just room enough for two there.  If you want to barbecue, it's going to have to be downstairs.  But I feel like seafood tonight.  Oh no, reality!  I ate all of the dinner!

This house of yours is part of my vision and my mission, and this is the place where I make my stand.  None but Allah shall make me change my place.

Qur'an 20150822

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

7.  The unbelievers think that they will not be raised up.  Say, "Yes by my Lord, you shall surely be raised up, then shall you be told of all that you did.  And that is easy for Allah."

The Mutual Loss and Gain 64:7

Yes by my Lord, you shall surely be raised up, then shall you be told of all that you did.  And that is easy for Allah.
