Qur'an 20170521

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

54.  It is God who created man from water: then has God established relationships of lineage and marriage: for your Lord has Power.

55.  Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them, and the disbeliever is a helper against his Lord!

56.  But you We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.

57.  Say: "No reward do I ask of you but this: that each one who will may take a path to his Lord."

58.  And put your trust in God who lives and dies not, and celebrate God's praise, and enough is God to be acquainted with the faults of God's servants.

59.  God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne.  The Most Gracious: ask you then about God, of any acquainted.

60.  When it is said to them, "Adore you the Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is the Most Gracious?  Shall we adore that which you command us?"  And it increases their flight.

The Criterion 25:54-60

Spaghetti

How are you feeling today, my Erin?  I hope those emotions are nice and settled and under control.  I happy that my emotions are under control amidst much hassle going on right now.  Alhamdulillah.  Patience is from Allah.  I've been eating a lot of spaghetti lately.  Oooh, I didn't take any snapshots.  You know what spaghetti looks like, don't you?  Next time I cook it up, I'll take a photo.  I made tons of sauce.  One batch of generic sauce, and one batch of meat sauce.  I must have a thousand recipes for spaghetti sauce.  My favorite is a strawberry and beef sauce.  It was awesome.  No I don't have any snapshots of that.  I made that decades ago while I was living in Salt Lake City, and strawberries were so plentiful, they were growing wild in the yard.  Among the honeysuckle and hummingbirds.

Natty, when the crown of a tree gets cut off, then the tree gradually begins to sprout fresh buds from eyes located at the lower part of the tree.  While it is doing so, it must be guarded from stress.  There must be no creepers, no fungus, no bugs etc.  Keep the tree free from stress as it grows new limbs.

Pina, I saw you on Yahoo news this morning.  It was an article for Harper's Bazaar.  It was an old photo of you.  I should have taken a screenshot, but I didn't.
