Qur'an 20170128

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

99.  See they not that Allah, who created the heavens and the earth, has power to create the likes of them?  Only God has decreed a term appointed, of which there is no doubt.  But the unjust refuse except with ingratitude.

100.  Say, "If you had control of the Treasures of the Mercy of my Lord, behold!  You would keep them back for fear of spending them, for humans are selfish!"

Coffee!

Erin!  How wonderful it is to see you again.  You are so beautiful, and I love you.  That photo looks like you're in a fish tank with a bunch of apples in it.  It means a lot to me that you all post often so I know for certain that you're safe, and not being held by a gang of horny men or something.  Please keep safe, and pray.

You know, I used to drink coffee everyday, but I quit drinking it.  I didn't mention it because I think it's a petty matter, not to offend any coffee barons for I'm sure they'll sell a lot of coffee whether or not I endorse it.  I quit coffee because it was making me sleepy, so I got rid of the expense.  Hey, a penny saved is a penny earned.  Plus I find that taking naps is more efficient.  Natty, those bags under your eyes tell me you had an early call time.  5 am?  That's nothing.  My wake up time yesterday was 2 am.  You're so cute, though.  I just want to reach out and grab you.  That's a sincere smile, too.  Make sure you remember that for the camera.

Pina!  Want some coffee?  How about some stuffed won tons instead?  I spent the morning stuffing won tons with fish balls, tofu, garlic, and julienned kaffir lime leaves.  Stuffing won tons is tedious work.  In the future, I'll make the stuffing, and you all can do the stuffing.
