Friday Feast No. 109

Appetizer
What are some lyrics you have misheard (such as, instead of “Gettin’ Jiggy With It” you heard “Kick a chicken with it”)?

    “We can dance, we can dance. Everybody look at your pants.” You have to admit, “everybody look at your hands” doesn’t make a whole lot more sense. Then again, neither does the rest of “Safety Dance.”

Soup
What is the worst movie you have ever seen?

    “Men with Guns” was pretty awful. But “Talladega Nights” was the first movie I’ve ever walked out of.

Salad
Using the letters from your favorite number, write a sentence. Example: Tomorrow has really easy experiences.

    I don’t have a favorite number.

Main Course
What was the most interesting news story you have heard this week?

    Jessica Simpson and John Mayer. I read about this on the cover of People magazine today at Wal-Mart. I had to call my friend Amy to offer my condolences. (I haven’t been paying much attention to the news lately.)

Dessert
Which word(s) would you choose to describe your wardrobe?

    Boring. Lackluster. Khaki.

The Friday Feast is a weekly meme intended to “feed your mind by asking thought-provoking, mind-stimulating questions.”

Prayer

Prayer request

My grandmother was taken to the hospital this afternoon for the second time in three weeks. She has had a series of strokes recently, and the doctors believe there’s a problem with her heart as well. I’m going over to see her in a few minutes (something that wouldn’t have been possible if we were still in Holland, for those of you keeping score). Prayers and kind thoughts would be appreciated.

UPDATE
She’s home and feeling better. They’re treating today’s episode as severe acid reflux. That’s a bit of a relief, but they still haven’t diagnosed alot of the other troubles she’s been having. So keep the prayers coming, please!

Flotsam / Jetsam

Thanks

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been supportive of us recently. This has been a trying few weeks, and we’re doing our best to get our feet back under us.

Friends and family, don’t worry about the next few lines.

And to today’s anonymous commenter: I’m sure you’re proud of yourself. I’ll thank you to keep your “anonymous” comments to yourself from here on out. If you’d like to discuss your concerns with us, please feel free to call or email.
