Qur'an 20210722

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

183.  They said, "Allah took our promise not to believe in a messenger unless he showed us a sacrifice consumed by fire."  Say, "There came to you messengers before me with clear signs and even with what you ask for: why then did you slay them, if you speak the truth?"

(The Family of Imran 3:183)

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  I hope you are happy, and healthy.  I discovered a little trick today.  We all have things to do everyday, right?  I found that it was possible to rearrange my daily agenda to put myself in a better mood.  It takes a little compromise but hell, who can get away from that?  It's better than carrying around resentment and anger, and with 55 years of waiting around, there's a lot of that.  Again, rearrange or adjust your tasks to put yourself in a better mood.  Again, change what you have to do to uplift yourself and nurture your emotions.

I just got done with dinner and the sunset prayer.  I tried making a fry sauce today.  I made hot sauce in the morning, then I took half of that and added eggplant.  I thought that it could possibly make a good fry sauce.  Almost.  I put too much salt.  But fry sauce should be tomato or mayonnaise based, do you agree?  I need to do more research.  A neighbor was kind enough to give me some beef today.  If you didn't already know, the Hajj Eid was yesterday and the day after is the ritual sacrifice of livestock to give to the needy and community.  Usually there are many scavengers present during the ritual, but this year it's different because of the Covid.  Only those who are performing the worship can be present during the ritual.  But I got some beef anyway.  Alhamdulillah.
