Basey’s Downtown

As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post … I am ready for football season to kickoff this Thursday night.  Even though I just moved to Miami and I have become a Dolphins fan (1-15 last year, ouch) I am originally from Indianapolis. I’m a Colts fan first.  I am trying to figure out when I [...]

Sunday Blend :: August 31, 2008

Labor Day weekend hit The Pursuit crowd this morning but not as nearly as bad as I expected.  Today was 70s week in our Retro series.  "Do the Hustle" is still stuck in my head. 
We also had some fun at Bob’s expense (nice picture).  I was born in 1976 so research was fun.  The [...]

You Are What You Eat

Janie made fresh scones.  They’re delicious.  But to be honest, the words "Lemon Curd" make me want to hurl.

Lottery Winner Gives It All Away to True North Church

I was sipping my coffee and watching the local South Florida morning news when I got quite the shock.  I saw my friend, Bert Crabbe, Lead Pastor at True North Community Church in Long Island, NY accepting a $3,000,000 dollar check!  An anonymous (and very generous) member of the church won the lottery and gave [...]

Sunday Blend :: August 24, 2008

Yesterday we kicked off our Retro series at The Pursuit.  We took a trip back in time and looked at the 60s.  Like no other time in US history, the 60s was the decade of rebellion.  "Question Authority" was the mantra of the day.  It was widely taught that freedom could only truly be found [...]

The Cuteness that is Reagan

Janie has been up north in Kentucky and Indiana for the past week.  Last night she got to hang out with all my family (I am pretty sure they like her more than me).  No family is perfect, but mine is pretty awesome.  Here’s a clip of my niece, Reagan coming out of her shell.

Retro

This Sunday, The Pursuit is going old school!
The 60s, 70s, and 80s were all known for a way of life that is
still going strong in our day. Our culture has been influenced heavily
by the mindsets that arose during those decades. But God calls each of
us to a way of life that is radically different from [...]

Tropical Storm Fay

Many people from other parts of the United States and the world are following this blog and have expressed concern for us over Tropical Storm Fay.  This was my first encounter with any named storm.  We don’t name tornadoes or blizzards in Indiana, but maybe we should because it’s the polite thing to do.
Besides [...]
