84. Say, "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, and that given to Moses, Jesus, and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will."
(The Family of Imran 3:84)
Hi Natty! How are you feeling today, Honey? I hope all is going well for you. Don't you worry about a thing, everything is going to work out just fine for you and us inshaAllah. I love you with all of my heart. It is Sunday over here for me. July 4! I cleaned my mother's bedroom in the morning as usual, and in the evening I cut the grass. I finished a bit late, I didn't think I would have time for dinner but everything fit in just right. There was a late cashew in the garden, the 2nd to last I think. So I made cheeseburgers with cashew relish. I didn't have any fresh hot peppers, but I used a lot of black pepper Cashew relish is very tasty. You must try it sometime.
It looks like more encampments are gone, in this Venice Beach Boardwalk video dated 7/2. I think they systematically cleared out all the tents from the LA Fame to Good See on this day.
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
72. A section of the people of the Book say, "Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers but reject it at the end of the day, perchance they may turn back."
73. "And believe no one unless he follows your religion." Say, "True guidance is the guidance of Allah, lest a revelation be sent to someone like that which was sent unto you. Or that those should engage you in argument before your Lord." Say, "All bounties are in the hand of Allah: God grants them to whom God pleases, and Allah is the All-Caring and All-Knowing."
(The Family of Imran 3:72-73)
But Allah has always been nice to me, and that keeps me going. It's BBQ time! Your folks can come join my BBQ if they want. Sorry, no wine. No swine, either. Just half a chicken, and unsweetened iced tea with aloe vera chunks. I wish I had beef ribs, but I would have eaten all of it. The sauce isn't that great, because it's based on the same crummy ketchup I wrote about before. The flavor improves significantly when burned by charcoal. My concrete grill disintegrated! I hadn't used it in years. So I had to build a makeshift one, which you can see above. Yes, I built a full fire. When I needed less heat, I pulled the food towards me. Want some BBQ chicken?
The sheriff planned to clear out the homeless by July 4, and there are less tents in today's Venice Beach Boardwalk video.
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
64. Say, "O people of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you, that we worship none but Allah, that we associate no partners with God, that we erect not from among ourselves lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back say you, "Bear witness that we are Muslims."
(The Family of Imran 3:64)
Hi Natty! How are you feeling today? I hope that all is well with you, and you are having a wonderful time. You are the most beautiful girl to me and I love you with all of my heart. Please don't worry, everything will work out well for us inshaAllah. What did I do today? Today is Friday, and I went to Friday prayer for the first time in over a month. That's because of another lockdown, and the mosque was closed. The lockdown is still in effect nationwide, but this state has had a very low Covid infection rate. So low that the king allowed Friday prayers again. Islam commands precaution of course, but such a low infection rate is clearly a gift from God. The locals should give thanks to God and use this opportunity to build up some economic muscle, especially in food, agriculture and Internet businesses.
In the evening I prepared the chicken for tomorrow's BBQ. Ah, it's been a while since I made BBQ. I hope I don't overeat, but I like my cooking. Allah gave me some knowledge in cooking, alhamdulillah. My approach to BBQ chicken is pretty standard. I precook the chicken in the BBQ sauce the day before, refrigerate it, then grill the chicken until the insides are hot and there's a nice char on the outside. Dripping with BBQ sauce, of course. Eaten at the grill!
Hi Natty! Oh, those shades are awesome! You are looking very upscale and wealthy, my darling. Are those Chanel earrings? I didn't think Chanel would have any interest in us since Karl-baby died, plus that dark-alley-in-Paris fiasco. I miss Karl-baby. Anyway, it looks like you are doing fabulous Honey. And don't you worry about a thing, everything is going to turn out just peachy for us inshaAllah.
Lookie has been doing wonders since I placed her on a permanent ban from my bedroom. She's not the nervous kitty she once was, and she has a full coat of fur! Thus she has been spending all her time with Adolf Kitler, and very little time with me. She slaps him around a lot (even though he's bigger than her), that's love for you I guess. Now she's going into heat again. This is it, Natty. This heat she's going to get pregnant inshaAllah. She's spent her entire life inside my house, and now she's almost 7 years old. But Allah gave her a mate, and it's now or never for her to have kittens. Ya Allah, please heal and protect all my kitties. Please give them long, happy lives and dignified deaths.
In this Venice Beach Boardwalk video tour, there are significantly less encampments than the previous video I posted. I would guess 30% less tents.
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful
