Today, Jennifer Villareal agreed to join The Pursuit team as our Director of Office Life (thanks to Brian Moll at Forefront in NYC for the idea of the title)!
Jennifer, her husband, Rob, and their kids Dylan and Abby moved to South Florida from North Carolina earlier this year and have been attending The Pursuit [...]

Best Prank Ever

My last post made me remember the best prank I ever pulled.
A few years ago, when I was in Student Ministry one of my friends thought it would be hilarious to take several high school girls over to my house and decorate it for Christmas … in April. 
For months, I waited silently plotting my [...]

Kermit, Miss Piggy and You

Just in time for Christmas, you can turn yourself into a Muppet! Check out The Muppet WHATNOT Workshop at Fao Schwarz.com.  Here's me as a Muppet playing for the NY Pigeons below.  I was going to try to create Janie, but apparently chicks are digging the Muppets because none of the female hair-do's are in [...]

Sunday Blend :: October 26, 2008

Today at The Pursuit we put a bow on the 40 Days of Purpose with a blow out Celebration Service.

We unleashed the band and gave them almost double the time they usually get.  MAN, did they ever bring their "A" game!  They were on fire!
Church planting gurus and friends, Jon Ferguson and Brent Foulke showed [...]

One Fall Night at Walmart

Every October 22, I think back to a few years ago to the day that changed by life forever.
I was just a single, guy hanging out with three of my good friends Amy and Neil Troyer and Janie Price.  I had a mad, crush on Janie.  After dinner and a movie, the Troyer's made [...]

Sunday Blend :: October 19, 2008

This will be a quick Sunday Blend because I am already in vacation mode.  We are just minutes away from packing up and driving west to Ft. Myers for a week long vacation. 
Living in a very congested area like Miami, it's funny how you feel yourself unclench as you drive out of the metropolitan [...]

Two of the amazing artists that God has blessed The Pursuit with are Raul Morera and Fernando Perez. Raul and his band play in venues all around Miami from Calle Ocho to Doral to Pembroke Pines.  Every weekend these guys are out working until the wee hours of the morning but show up faithfully to [...]

Sunday Blend :: October 12, 2008

I am still flying high after an amazing Sunday in the life of The Pursuit yesterday.
- The biggest highlight by far was Frank Fernandez’s baptism. Words cannot explain how cool this was. On her blog, Janie does a much better job than I ever could so I’ll let her explain. More [...]

New MacBooks are Coming

Looks like my wait for a new laptop is almost over. About 2 months ago my MacBook Pro turned into a glorified paperweight. Much thanks to Bob and Janie for allowing me to mooch off their Macs.
Apple just announced a media-only, town hall meeting on Tuesday, October 14 where they will [...]
