Qur'an 20170319

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

1.  Closer and closer to humans comes their reckoning, yet they heed not, and turn away.

2.  Never comes to them of a renewed Message from their Lord, but they listen to it as a joke.

3.  Their hearts toying as with trifles.  The wrongdoers conceal their private counsels: "Is this more than a man like yourselves?  Will you go to witchcraft with your eyes open?"

4.  Say, "My Lord knows every word in the heavens and the earth.  God is the One that Hears and Knows."

The Prophets  21:1-4

I'm so glad

That you are doing well.  Please take sweet loving care of yourself, for you mean the world to me.  As for me, I felt the fever break slightly this morning, but I'm still weakened.  I did have enough strength to chop down a big bunch of bananas just now.  Heavy stuff.  I haven't worked out in 3 days.  I'm going to turn into a fat blob if this keeps up.  I'll try to work out after this letter, see how that works out.  Singing was difficult.  I can totally see how those singers dies on stage from heart attack, like the cliche.  Although Alfred said in "Batman and Robin", "It is uncivilized to talk about one's illness," I might as well tell you about it as there is nothing else going on right now.  Or maybe my wife secretly wiretapped my dick while we were having sex.

Natty honey, you are looking absolutely beautiful!  That is seriously a very sophisticated photo.  Are your Dartmouth buddies happy for your success?  You know, you could always try to be a tourist now as you work since they both mesh together, then you focus on school later and become an A student.  It will give you something to do while I build you a house.

Qur'an 20170318

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

133.  They say, "Why does he not bring us a Sign from his Lord?"  Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of Revelation?

134.  And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said, "Our Lord!  If only You had sent us a messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Signs before we were humbled, and put to shame."

135.  Say, "Each one is waiting.  Wait you therefore, and soon shall you know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received guidance."

Ta Ha  20:133-135

Sorry I'm late

Internet blackout.  I'm still feverish, so I didn't do much of anything but sleep.  Hey, you look like you're making tons of money.  All while keeping your clothes on.  Congratulations.

A break

I felt worn out today, so I took a break.  I had been working extra hard lately, for no extraordinary reason, just the usual stuff piled up.  I had been sleeping 4 hour nights for a while, so today I slept all day.  After breakfast, I slept until voice training.  After voice training, I slept until dinner.  After this, I think I'll go to sleep.  Wanna join me?  I discovered just now that I had a fever.

I would like to remind you that the Power of God is superior to all magic.  This is because the Power of God is not magic.  I used to subscribe to all that magic stuff, tarot cards etc.  I even made a living at it at one point.  But God took me and kept me, and for that I am grateful.  So please choose between God or magic.  If you need reassurance, I love you and I will marry you inshaAllah.

Qur'an 20170315

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

114.  High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth!  Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to you is completed but say, "O my Lord!  Advance me in knowledge!"

Ta Ha  20:114

A doughy kind of day

The flat bread I bought this morning and the calzones I made for dinner were all doughy.

Erin, you are like the cat that just has to be there so that the rat doesn't go there because there is a cat there.  Mind you, there are rats that are bold enough to go where the cats are.  Most of the time, the rats would seek easy prey.

A cap on earnings is a very intelligent and very sneaky thing to do, because the victims would not notice anything is wrong until they reach the point where they are working harder but not making more money.  Of course, that would be the smart way to exercise the cap, is to wait until the cap is reached before taking or withholding money.  Human law does not recognize prevention as a form of justice, but at least you can avoid getting ripped off inshaAllah.  But if money is taken immediately like is the usual, greedy thing to do, then it will leave a trail of money which can be traced.  One can always count on the greed of others: it is more reliable than any human friend.  Plus to pick on immigrants is especially cunning, because few of them have the legal balls to fight back.  Suppose a cap on earnings is in effect, then these questions arise:
1.  Who ordered the cap?
2.  Did Congress approve it?
3.  Who gets the money that the victims lose?
4.  Will this cap extend to everybody eventually and if so, who is exempted?

Natty, you look so cute in that Maybelline campaign!  It's a stroke of marketing genius, to have models that don't need makeup promote makeup so the consumer would think that if they use this makeup then they would look like they don't need makeup.  **Applause**
