Qur'an 20200426

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

22.  Say, "Call upon others whom you fancy besides Allah.  They have no power, not the weight of an atom, in the heavens or on earth.  No share have they therein, nor is any of them a helper to Allah."

23.  No intercession can avail in God's Presence, except for those whom God has granted permission.  So far that, when terror is removed from their hearts will they say, "What is it that your Lord commanded?"  They will say, "That which is true and just, and God is the Most High, Most Great."

24.  Say, "Who gives you sustenance, from the heavens and on earth?"  Say, "It is Allah, and certain it is that either we or you are on right guidance, or in manifest error!"

25.  Say, "You shall not be questioned as to our sins, nor shall we be questioned as to what you do."

26.  Say, "Our Lord will gather us together, and will in the end decide the matter between us in truth and justice, and God is the One to decide, the One Who Knows all."

Sheba  34:22-26

More shopping

Hi Natty!  How's it going over there?  You must be in paradise: I wish I were with you.  But wherever you go, there you are, huh?  Eat some strawberries for me!  The big, sweet, juicy ones!  I'm sitting here waiting for sunset again, and writing this my letter to you.  I went grocery shopping today.  I didn't really need to go, but my mother needed some stuff.  So I got more cat food: can't have too much of this cat food, because I can eat it too if I want.  I also got some bleach!  Popular item these days.  Then I drove to the frozen goods store downtown to pick up some beef, burgers, and ketchup.  Chili is on the menu today.  I got some raw red beans the other day.  I could have used the canned baked beans, but chili from the raw beans is the best I think.  I let them slow cook for most of the day yesterday, and they look like they were ready to be made into chili today.  If you make chili from raw beans, let them soak over night, then slow cook them until they break.  Don't throw out the water!  That's where most of the flavor is!  I have to cook without tasting anything but I'm used to that.  I used to cook like that when I was at the restaurant. I think I'll take a short nap.
