Qur'an 20170115

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

23.  Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but God, and that you be kind to parents.  Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor.

24.  And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility and say, "My Lord!  Bestow on them Your Mercy as they cherished me in childhood."

The Night Journey 17:23-24

Are we being cool cats?

You probably haven't felt like this for a long time, or you probably haven't felt like this ever.  But I promise you that these emotions will calm down enough for you to control, inshaAllah.  There's certainly nothing wrong with having emotions, and I certainly love you and am always with you.  You are always on my mind.  I must always try to control my emotions.  What was that quote from "The Godfather"?  Men cannot be careless.

There is certainly a lot of noise going around right now, and I assure you that the noise covers the entire spectrum, so there is no need for you to contribute to the noise. Please restrain yourselves: do not criticize others.  Even if it is in self-defense, God is with those who restrain themselves.

I hope you are each at your stations and getting settled with your work.  All you have to do is live well, keep safe, and pray.  Be beautiful.  And you are beautiful.  You are very, very beautiful.  You are MY girl.

My cooler is becoming empty right now, but I had enough stuff to make sausage and onion calzones.  Messy food.  Delicious, but messy.

 

 

Aw Erin

You beautiful and most precious girl.  You are my love, and I love you so much.  Please don't worry, because everything will be OK inshaAllah.

Sing Erin, Sing!

Aw honey, I love you.  Singing out loud helps clear out the lungs and relieve heartache.  So sing Erin, sing!

Hey Natty, are you having tons of fun?

Hey Pina, are you having tons of fun?

Aw Erin

You precious darling.  You are my girl, and I love you with all my heart.  Come here, and let me embrace you forever.

Remember dear, eat what you feel like eating.  Protect your tummy!  Stomach first, flavor second.

I found some free houses on Second Life, so I'm using them as portable dressing rooms.  I didn't build or design them, but they are free.  Free houses!

Finally it stopped raining

And the sun came out this morning.  That was a very wet weekend, cold too.  Right now it's supposed to be the hot dry season: around here there are only 2 seasons, which are wet and dry.  But there is also weather distortion here, God knows why.  I've come down with the sniffles again.  **sniffle**  I can't sing properly when I have the sniffles.  I still must sing, but it's hell on me and I'm sure it sounds awful.  **sniffle**

How are you, my love?  Are you keeping safe, and having tons of fun?  You are beautiful, and I love you.
