Really Understanding the Importance of the Constitution




It's rare to see a show, any show on the air these days where people aren't at each other throats. Bill Moyers show is a breath of fresh air. I wish we would go back to shows like this where people sit down and talk rational about things even if they represent different political spectrums.



If you don't understand why impeachment is so important to keeping order and insuring we keep people with dreams of being a dictator out of office; then this will certainly explain things for you.

TOUGH TALK ON IMPEACHMENT BILL MOYERS JOURNAL explores the talk of impeachment with Constitutional scholar Bruce Fein, who wrote the first article of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, and THE NATION's John Nichols, author of THE GENIUS OF IMPEACHMENT

Albuquerque

Most people have difficulty spelling this word. I admit I had some issues with it at first. Now, I look at people as if their retarded for not knowing how to spell Albuquerque. LOL

Today it was 101 degrees, thank goodness this state is void of humidity or I'm sure we would all melt like ice cream. It's cooler at night so we don't have to keep on the AC. I can honestly say we're having a nice time. Idriss will have is 1st swimming debut tomorrow. Afterward, we plan on riding the tram up to the top of the mountains and hiking for a few hours and taking pictures. I tried to tell Mr. Man that we need one of those backpacks you put a child in but he refuses to carry Idriss that way. So it should be interesting to see how this works out tomorrow. I've been to the top of the mountain before and the trails aren't smooth and easy going. You are HIKING for REAL!

Mr. Man thinks I'm always trying to walk him like a dog so this trip should be funny. The look on his face when those tram doors close will be enough entertainment for weeks. I'm sure Idriss will love it just like he loved the plane ride.

Yesterday we went to check our home building progress and decided to drive around the neighborhood to see what other home builders were offering in relation to our community. On the west side of our development Longford Homes is building 4100sq ft homes starting at 280k. Now I know we could never get anything back home at the size for this price, even if we went out all the out Eastern Shore.

Here are some pictures but I didn't like the outside because it just lacks curb appeal to me. Tell me what you think. Oh, and you can see the rest of the pictures at my Flickr page.

RABBITS



I don't know what it means but ever since I saw a rabbit in Rio Rancho, it seems I can't stop seeing them.

I've been in DC for 4 weeks now and rabbits are everywhere I look.


Does this have some sort of profound meaning in my life?

or

Am I just lunching out my mind?>

We're BACK!

ASA,

I had a wonderful time with all of you. Some of you took he hilss for the 1st time without fear. Alhamdulliah, man you guys rock! It's making it harder for me to leave DC. I might have to make some trips back home to hang with some old and new road dogs (lets not get sensitive here :-p). Anyway, the pictures on on the right had side in the side bar. Please send me all the pictures when you can so that I can make a proper photo album.

Jamila and Hamza want to take a day trip up to Hagerstown or even Wisp again. It's just our luck that they are getting the chill and snow they need to open up most of the trails. If will cost about 60.00 if you don't have your own equipment.

holla back.

Inna lillahi an inna ilahi raajioon

I new his wife very well. We grew in deen together, played paintball and shot hoops together when we were younger. When she 1st told me she thinks she found a brother to marry from out of town I was worried because we didn’t know him. However, she is very mature and always involved in the community and he was equally so. It was a perfect match and together they were the most active couple in the community under 30 in this area. He was very perfessional and always kind. He loved the deen and didn’t force it on people and never said bad mean things about people.

He was serious, but funny and playful at the same time. The last week on Ramadhan we were kindah hiding in the kitchen from our spouses eating various pies and cakes that neither of us had no buisness eating, talking trash about what we would do it we got cault, chating about the up coming ski trip MLK weekend and how much he needed a vacation.

He never ran around giving random fatwa’s and when I asked him to marry off my friend to a brother he made a phone call 1st and sought council from others right there on the spot because this sister had not known the brother for very long and he didn’t feel comfortable with giving his blessing.

I was hoping that his questions and concerns would cause this sister to slow down and wait a few more months to get to know this brother after talking to Imam Rasul. I’m proud to say that he was serious with the brother and asked him real questions unlike some other Imams do.
When Rasul said InshaAllah he didn’t say it just to say it. He literally meant it and didn’t understand how others could say it and not do what they said they would do. He was a visionary and a lot of people weren't ready for various reasons to support what he was trying to do. When I think about him, I honestly can never think of a single time I heard or seen him act in a suspect way.

This is really hard on my family because my husband has only been Muslim 4 years and Imam Rasul was one of the limited brothers he liked and looked forward to hanging with him during the ski trip this MLK weekend. I’m sorry my husbands 1st Janazah had to be Brother Rasul’s. He’s not taking it to well but I’m glad to see the Janazah was one that was very intimate considering such a large crowd and now he understands and respects the way we attend to our brothers and sisters whom pass away.

It was an honor to pray behind him.

May Allah SWT forgive Rasul for his sins, make his grave spacious, bright and comfortable. I bear witness he died in a state of Islam and that he died a Muslim and a lover of Muhammed PBUH. I beg Allah SWT to forgive us for any wrong towards him and elevate his station in the hereafter. Ya Allah keep his wife close to the deen and the community. Ya Allah SWT let us not faulter in our obligations toward her and her family. Please ease her burdens in this life and the next.

Amin

I know, I know... I suck... Please forgive me...







Please accept these pictures as a gift.

I hope they bring nur to your day like they have done for me. :)

As Salaam Alaikum WRT WBRT


Yes, yes, I know someone is already offended because I wrote WRT WBRT as if I literally say to people W R T W B R T and not the entire word in my mind. LOL A curse be upon the kufr use of short hand!

Anyway, welcome to my blog. Don't look for anything special from me for a while as I try to figure out how this blog thing works.

So here are some baby pictures in the mean time. Everyone loves da babies!
