Episode Seven – Jason Garrett “You need to have swagger! What is Swagger? It’’s confidence. If you don’t have that, then there’s the door.”
I love the NFL.

And so it begins….

So Jake signed up for football last Saturday and will start practices in August.
He has played soccer, basketball, and baseball. In each sport he just wants to tackle people.
Outside of me being concerned that Jake can’t get off the ground with all his pads on, I think he’ll have a good time.

For those that don’t know me well, I have deep roots in this sport and I hope my son enjoys it. Bring out the tums! Lord help me.

Sooooo Late with this

I got to hang with Transition Pete (thanks for the appetizers!) and then later with Pete and Jenni from Crosspointe church.
This was Monday night after the first main session at Drive. I am in Blue and white striped shirt, top left. You can’t see but my left hand is on Carlos’s butt. Yes from way up there. Thats why his eyes are so big.

Jake Got the Game Ball

No picture (yet)…
But just thought you should all know… my boy went 3-3 in his new baseball helmet ($20 nike supercool lid from Dick’s Sporting goods) and yes…. he killed it. Proud of him even when he was playing with his gum and a line drive went right by him in center field. Problem was that they didn’t let him wear his helmet out in the field.

Look what’s coming out?

or is it?

Brad (from Renewed Vision) stopped by the office

This is a little late but figure I should post it. Brad (me on the left) and Brad Weston (renewed vision/Propresentor) swung by to say hello (late last week). Brad Volunteers at North Point and some of our partnerships. He’s kinda a brainiac/genius! And a friend.

Did you know about Trajan?

I can’t remember where I saw this but I seriously laughed out loud. Sad thing is, this is one of my top ten fonts you use when you are in a crunch. It still will be too! 

20,000 hits and going

Just a word to say thank you for coming over to the motion house to check things out. I am truly honored. I however, really want to hear and know a little about you. If you have been peeking in, checking things out, please say hi, tell me a little bit about yourself or ask any question you want.

Much love.

Good to know I have influence around the world

So yesterday I posted the HP video and my good friend Jeff surprised me with not just a comment but a little video of how I inspired his new hobby. First, a little history.

Jeff went to Baylor and is from Texas. Our paths met up when I played drums and toured the world (southeast) with Dave Bell. He became the road manager and our pastor as we traveled. Jeff then went on to work with Passion and headed up their resources here in Atlanta where I continued to work with him via the development of DVD’s and replication for Louie. Jeff met Sabrina (his wife) who is from France and after a couple of years living in the US, they decided to move to FRANCE where they both currently reside.

While Jeff continues to learn French in order to work (which I am sure he is very fluent in now) he gets to have fun biking (he’s an avid cyclist) and shooting home movies.

This video gives you some insight into a little of his personality. I know that he is so missed around here! Thanks for showing me your chops!!

Hello world!

B-rad on a B-log!!! Inspired by my talented friends and cohorts at Browns Bridge. The motion house started off as a cool name for my side business (motion graphics) but quickly realized it means more to me than that. People are always in motion, moving, traveling on a journey towards something and in most cases – someone. With my family, I want to and need to lead the charge with moving towards God daily. The Motion House.
