PILLAR - For The Love Of The Game

THE PILLAR JOURNAL

April 2, 2008 - Update from Noah
Hello to all the Pillarites out there who are gonna get this super duper journal entry from us, because we love to send you stuff. Noah here! Its been a while since i've written a journal entry but, of course, something has transpired that has sparked up another great reason for me to write. So, without further adieu my wife Lindsey and I would like to present, our new son Noah Isaac Henson (Jr.) Born Sunday March 16th, at 9:58p.m. The crazy part is i woke up the morning of March 16th (the day we had scheduled to shoot the video for "For The Love Of The Game") in Van Wuert Ohio, rolled outta bed, put on my shoes and no less than one minute later i got THE call. The call that says "Hey, you're not here in Tulsa, but your wife who's just gone into labor is, so get your booty on a plane and get here asap so you don't miss your boy coming into this world." Needless to say, without much thought of what was supposed to happen on the Pillar schedule that day, i was outta there within minutes heading to the closest airport around, which thankfully was only 45 minutes away. God is awesome, and i'll tell ya why, cause i got back within a couple hours of the birth of my son Noah Isaac and the coolest part is right when little Noah was about to be born, my Doc says "Hey, you wanna help?" I was like "huh? ok, yeah" So they threw a gown on me and some gloves and the Doc let me deliver Noah right there. Man that was probably the most amazing moment of my life, next to the birth of our first child Hannah Elizabeth. (Thanks to Dr. Myers the most amazing Doc alive) So, I just gotta tell ya'll, its amazing to see this awesome little youngbuck staring up at me all the time. The weirdest thing is he looks like me, alot. So its like staring at myself 26 years ago. Word. But its so cool having a daughter and a son now, cause now i have my beautiful little princess and my handsome super ninja boy. Makin the world a better place, Go Hensons!!! Since we missed our video shoot for "For The Love Of The Game" in Van Weurt OH, we were able to make up for it in Tulsa OK on Tuesday the 25th of March. Lifechurch.tv let us use their building for the shoot and it turned out awesome. If you're not in the loop about whats going on with that, the short version is we just hooked up with MLB, which stands for Major League Baseball, and they are going to be using the song and video for their theme this year, and will be showing the video during games and hopefully during MLB highlights and such. Make sure to look out for that, its gonna rock!!! Well we've been taking a short break the last couple of weeks to see our families, and the new addition, and get some quality rest in. We're excited to tell you that we're gearing back up for the second half of the For The Love Of The Game TOUR [COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU] starting April 2nd. So be sure to keep an eye on our tour schedule and come be a part of the event. God has been moving in Pillar like never before helping to change people's hearts and encourage our brothers and sisters to strive for greatness in this life. We thank you for all your prayers and support. God bless, we love you.

February 14, 2008 - The Grammy's
Happy Valentines Day! Stacie and I actually had to cancel our plans because our son Kaden is really sick. So pizza and a movie maybe. We all flew out this last Saturday for Los Angeles, CA for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. We were very honored to be nominated for the Gospel Rock/Rap category. It was a nice weekend especially because my wife Stacie and Rob's wife Linda were able to come with us. On Saturday night Noah, Lester, Stacie, and I went to eat at this Mexican resturant close to the hotel. The funny thing was they were having karaoke night (in Mexican)! Then the big day. Sunday was a long day. You only see them hand out about 5 Grammy's on TV. They actually give out something like 120 Grammy's so the award ceremony is many hours long. We did not win our category. It went to an Ashley Cleveland, but that is ok. We had a blast anyways. Our seats for the televised part of the Grammy's were very good. It was awesome to see all those artists and actors live like Tom Hanks and Prince. Afterwards we were invited to the Sony after party and had the chance to see and meet many famous people. Rob has the opportunity to finally meet his favorite artist Dave Grohl with the Foo Fighters. My wife got to meet Mike Boogie from Big Brother, Daughtry and Blake from American Idol, and some guy named Kojo (some tv fashion guy)- she is really into reality tv. I saw Tia the pretty lady from the old Wayne's World movie. Overall it was awesome. I was able to sneak my video camera into the event and get some footage. Check www.myspace.com/pillar for the video. The new album is almost here- Feb 26- For The Love Of The Game. The big tour stars Feb 22- check pillartour.com and myspace.com/fortheloveofthegametour for more info. Hope to see many of you out on the road. What do you all think of the new www.pillarmusic.com? Rocks right. Thanks for all the amazing support. Get ready for the games to begin. -Kalel and Pillar
