In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
117. If anyone invokes besides Allah any other god, he has no authority therefore and his reckoning will be only with his Lord. And verily the unbelievers will fail to win through.
118. So say, "O my Lord! Grant You forgiveness and mercy, for You are the Best of those Who show mercy!"
The Believers 23:117-118

If you feel afraid, then pray
I hope you are settling down into a relaxation mode, and enjoying your beautiful and comfy surroundings, eating fancy foods and snacking on expensive ice cream while watching TV. Have an easy life, because I love you. You are a Rock and Roll Queen, Erin. And don't you forget it.
Did something scare you, Natty? Something on the Internet perhaps, and made you afraid to express yourself? It's OK to be afraid. But learn how to focus your fear. Pious people put their fear in God. Focus this fear on God, and no one else will scare you, whether human or not. Please pray, and talk to God in your prayer. There, by now whatever scared you earlier has dissipated, and you are back to having fun. Right? You're such a beautiful girl, Natty. Talk to your big brother, have him tell you to challenge yourself. Please drink lots of water.

Hello Sweetheart
How are you feeling today? Feeling good? Are you planning more journeys, more plans, and more visitations? I do pray that you be cautious and take care of your health.
How's life in your private plane, Natty? I'm glad to see that you're flying high. Remember what I told you, don't eat just to be polite. I don't want you to get sick or something.
Are we getting clumsy in our old age, Pina?
I took it easy today. My feet feel unstable, and my voice sounds like gravel. I did drive my elderly mother around in the evening, to visit her relatives. Yesterday was a busy day, so I'm kind of worn out today. No, I don't believe in luck. I believe in God.

Qur'an 20170425
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
86. Say, "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and the Lord of the Throne Supreme?"
87. They will say, "Allah." Say, "Will you not then be filled with awe?"
88. Say, "Who is it in whose hands is the governance of all things, Who protects, but is not protected, if you know?"
89. They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"
90. We have sent them the Truth, but indeed they practice falsehood!
91. No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with God. Behold! Each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah, from the things they attribute to God!
92. God knows what is hidden, and what is open. Too high is God for the partners they attribute to God!
93. Say, "O my Lord! If You will show me that which they are warned against,"
94. "Then O my Lord! Put me not among the people who do wrong!"
95. And We are certainly able to show you that against which they are warned.
96. Repel evil with that which is best. We are well acquainted with the things they say.
97. And say, "O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones."
The Believers 23:86-97

Qur'an 20170424
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
78. It is God who has created for you hearing, sight, feeling, and understanding. Little thanks it is you give!
79. And God has multiplied you through the earth, and to God shall you be gathered back.
80. It is God Who gives life and death, and to God the alternation of night and day. Will you not then understand?
81. On the contrary, they say things similar to what the ancients said.
82. They say, "What! When we become dust and bones, could we really be raised up again?"
83. "Such things have been promised to us and our fathers before! They are nothing but tales of the ancients!"
84. Say, "To whom belong the earth and all things therein? If you know!"
85. They will say, "To Allah!" Say, "Yet, will you not receive admonition?"
The Believers 23:78-85
---------------------------------------------------------
Ya Allah, thank You for all You have given me. Please forgive me as I will never be able to thank You adequately.

Happy Earth Day
And so to celebrate Earth Day, I cut the grass over at your house inshaAllah. Here it's not a matter of growing more trees, it's more a case of controlling the growth here. The weeds here are the size of trees, well because they are trees. And the vines, you can swing on them like Tarzan. I took down some jackfruit and gave it to the neighbor, and I harvested some young coconut for my Mom. It's been a while since I rode a bicycle, but I used to back in the mountains of Utah. Instead I rode my motorcycle to town to get gasoline. It's not a car, at least. I do so much gardening and yard work, I must be giving back to the earth.
