In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hey Gorgeous! Hey Luscious! Oh no, it's almost the end of January. I've been stressing out about your birthday present since our last anniversary. Because I can't afford anything material, and if I could I should be giving you a ring first. What's left is some lame virtual present, that is within my means of presentation. What to do? Nothing seems good enough, because you mean so much to me. Because I love you and I need you.
I did some chainsawing around your house inshaAllah. What a handy little toy, great for breaking down mighty trees. I finally managed to cut down one of the trees growing on the roof of the old house. My Dad said to cut off the roots, but that wasn't so easy because the roots are intertwined with the walls and the concrete. I think I managed to get all of them. There's another tree growing on the roof of the old house. It's huge, about 4 times the size of the tree I just cut. Have you seen it?

Hi there! How's it going? Are you feeling good and staying healthy? Yeah, you are the most beautiful girl in the world, because you are MY girl. I love you and I need you.
Oh, nothing special on the menu today. My stomach is still more sensitive than normal, but at last the pain is going away. Alhamdulillah. Lunch was just noodles with beef and egg, and dinner was just hash. Eggplant, potato, beef and onion hash. Simple, tasty, and filling. You're welcome to have some if you like.
During voice training today, I noticed that I have 3 baby fish. They must have shown up during the night or something. I don't even know which one is the mother. It must be the one with the big belly. The others aren't harassing them, so that's a good thing. So that's 3 baby fish, 6 adult fish, for a total of 9 guppies. Fishy, fishy, fishy, fish!

Of course you're an adult, and you make your own choices. If you love alcohol and drugs and that's what you want, then I can't stop you. Just like I can't force you to marry me, and you can't force me to marry you. I serve Allah, and I need a wife who is good and sincere, to stay put and help me raise a family. You have to want to marry me to be my wife, and you have to want to be clean and pure. Sure none of us is perfect, but we're not concerned about our past, right? We live in the now, and now is where we determine our future. I love the woman who is sincere, and is renowned for her sincerity. I love you and I need you.
I have a old glass malted milk jar on my speaker system where I keep my fish. When I last killed my guppies (by foolishly washing the jar with soap), I replaced them with seven guppies from my Dad's fish tank, none of them bigger than a dime. They've grown since then, 3 of them the length of a quarter, and the rest of them dime sized. Yesterday while I was voice training, I noticed another fish in there, a tiny transparent little guppy the size of pinhead. Most likely one of the big females must have given birth to it. The other fish were chasing it around, after all fish eat fish, but since it's so small it could escape underneath the rocks. One of the posse of bigger fish got trapped under a rock, then one of the big females took a bite out of its tail. Then a feeding frenzy occurred, and all of the bigger fish attacked the hapless victim. Not out of hunger, because there's fish food floating on the top of the water. Along with the carcass of the hapless victim. So I had 7, then suddenly 8, then suddenly 7 fish again. Vicious world of fishes. Hey, that rhymes!

Qur'an 20160121
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
91. When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah has sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us," yet they reject all besides, even if it be Truth confirming what is with them. Say, "Why then have you slain the prophets of Allah in times gone by, if you did indeed believe?"
92. There came to you Moses with clarity, yet you worshiped the calf after that, and you did behave wrongfully.
93. And remember We took your Covenant and We raised above you of the Mountain: hold firmly to what We have given you, and hearken. They said, "We hear and we disobey," and they had to drink into their hearts of the calf because of their faithlessness. Say, "Vile indeed are the behests of your faith, if you have any faith!"
94. Say, "If the last home with Allah be for you specially and not for anyone else, then seek you for death, if you are sincere."
95. But they will never seek for death, on account of that which their hands have sent on before them. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with the wrongdoers.
96. You will find them of all people, most greedy of life even more than the idolaters. Each one of them wishes he could be given a life of a thousand years, but the grant of such life will not save him from punishment, for Allah Sees Well all that they do.
97. Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel, for he brings down that to your heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe..."
98. Whoever is an enemy to Allah and God's angels and prophets, to Gabriel and Michael- Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject faith.
(The Heifer 2:91-98)

Hello, my Queen. Hello, my Princess. I hope you are healthy, and keeping your nose clean. There are better ways to pass the time. How about you get a nice camera and take up photography? Photographs get a better reaction and more attention. Or perhaps you can master a musical instrument. Like the piano. Playing the piano is not the same as mastering the piano. Plus if you treat it like a hobby, you may be surprised at the reward.
We're all waiting for something. I'm 50 years old, and have been a musician for over 35 years, and I've always wanted to be married. So I've been waiting around for a long time. But when things happen, they happen all at once. Don't you agree? So when the time comes inshaAllah, you may not have time to adjust when you should have prepared. No time to even clean your nose.
I finally got that chainsaw a going. So I had some fun chopping things down. It's a bit heavy, then I spent some time figuring out the chain transport. Dinner was chicken wings, made with my home made hot sauce with extra ginger. Chicken wings are slow cooking, but simple. So while the wings were frying away, I took a shower. Good stuff, though. Very tasty! Alhamdulillah. Want some? I love you and I need you.

Oh, don't worry so much. It's a crazy job, but someone has to do it. And you're so nice and sweet, you worry too much. Just be cool, and be patient. Please pray. It turns out that we are the best qualified for what we do because Allah has chosen us to do it. So be grateful to Allah. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
That chainsaw I just got didn't want to start when I tried it out yesterday. I hurt my shoulder pulling on that thing. So my Dad took me to the guys who sold it, and it turned out that the choke is very sensitive, and I flooded the engine. So it starts fine now, and I'll try again tomorrow to clear the unwanted trees around your house inshaAllah.
Please make a donation to a worthwhile charity of a minimum of one US dollar or one Euro.

78. And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book but desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.
79. Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say, "This is from Allah," to traffic with it for a miserable price. Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.
80. And they say, "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days." Say, "Have you taken a promise with Allah, for God never breaks the Promise of Allah? Or is it that you say of Allah what you do not know?"
(The Heifer 2:78-80)
