Mosquitos in heaven

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.

Dear God,

It is 123am. A mosquito just flew past and between my face and the mobile phone. I have no idea what I want to write. I looked at the word mosquito and I found that it resembles the word mosque. The mosque is considered a house of God. The mosquito is mentioned in a parable in the Quran. There is also a hadith that tells us that this world is not worth as much as the wing of a mosquito in the sight of God.

This is a reminder for me. Even the smallest of things are proof of Your greatness and while this creation is a masterpiece, its value is nothing compared to the hereafter. I am reminded to not get caught up in the buzz of this world. I am encouraged to focus on spiritual values and eternal truths rather than worldly distractions and fleeting pleasures. It is now 223am. An hour has passed. A mosquito just buzzed past my left ear. I wonder if it is the same mosquito? I wonder if there are mosquitos in heaven?

It is 3am now and the rain has started falling. That is nice but I am left with a question that we probably would not be able to answer until we get to heavens -- are there mosquitos in heaven? I have a joke though. Why did the mosquito go to heaven? Because he was a blood donor. This would be funny if they actually gave blood instead of taking blood. Hehe. I must-quit-o giving jokes then. But jokes are charity -- lifting spirits without asking for anything in return.

Love lives forever

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing " I am voting for God " on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, I am up early again. I was thinking about the wind and how much I love cool breezes especially having grown up in the tropics. We cannot see the wind but we can see and feel the effects of the wind. Just like God. We cannot see God but we know that You are there from observation, thinking and experience. I looked at the word wind and saw that if I flipped the w to m, I got mind. We cannot see our mind but we know it is there. If I join m and ɯ I can fashion an infinity symbol ∞. I also notice that all 3 words (3 being a sideways m or w) contain the letters i and n exactly in the middle. Inf-in-ity, w-in-d and m-in-d. I am thinking that there i...

Seeking the light

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing " I am voting for God " on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, This will be 25 chapters already. It is so easy when I write to You. So easy when I write from the heart. I notice that the word our is in the word journey. This is our journey. We are never alone on our journey. You are always there with us. Through the good and the bad. Give thanks. 273 days ago I tweeted "God keep me humble on this journey". You did not give up on me and I did not not give up on You. I keep calling on You to guide me, protect me and have mercy on me. I searched for the 273rd word of this book and it was the word shine from the sentence, "Please shine Your light and mercy and goodness on my world and the world...

The right fit

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing " I am voting for God " on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, I woke up early and I was browsing quotes about God that would inspire me to write something beautiful. Looking back I like how write and right sound the same. I saw this quote that stood out to me and had me thinking, "God is love and love is real". If you believe in love, you essentially believe in God. I looked at the phrase God is real and the initials GIR and saw that it fits in the word RIGHT. God is in the middle of riGht. Go one  way and you get God is real and go the other way and you get God's honest truth. God, You are the right fit. It makes sense to believe in You. I take a step back and it is clear that You are the ...

Beat the heat

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing " I am voting for God " on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, I just napped. The AC is on and the fan is on to beat the heat. They hum like a beating heart. The bright sunlight is shining through the window. I was thinking. I was thinking that You are the cleaner of hearts. Through You we let go of all that is bad for our heart and embrace all that is good. We lean on You for strength, guidance and love. You are the maker of good hearts. We are told in hadith that if the heart is sound, the entire body is sound, and if corrupt, the entire body is corrupt. I notice that the word heart has the word heat contained in it. With Your help, we want to remove the uncomfortable heat of the heart and leave only wh...

We are only human

Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, I have been thinking about infinity. It is an interesting concept. It all started today when I watched a math video involving the axiom of choice. We say that You are infinitely powerful. But what does this mean? Infinity means that there is no end. Infinity is not a state. Infinity is not a noun. Infinity does not exist for us. If something is growing or moving without ever ending (perpetual) then it has the quality of being infinite. When discussing infinity we can use precision and limits to wrap our minds around the concept. I am wondering if anything that requires infinity can be refashioned to use a loop? 0 to 1 and back to 0. Two states...
