First post of 2015. . . Here we go!

  • I'm a few weeks late on this but wanted to share this 15 minute short that ESPN posted after the passing of Stuart Scott. When I think of ESPN or Sportscenter, I hear his voice. Stuart is a true hero.
“When you die, it does not mean you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.”
— Stuart Scott
  • I had a blast seeing Baylor beat #11 Iowa State in basketball this last Wednesday in the Ferrell. 
  • I had a wonderful winter break. It was full of time with family and friends in my favorite city of San Diego. I was also able to fly to Seattle to see where my sister Laura is living right now. It was so much fun getting a full Seattle tour. I left Seattle on December 31st to head to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl that Baylor played in. Although it was not the outcome I wanted, it was a great experience. .

 

  • Oh, and Maroon 5 crashed a bunch of weddings to make a music video. That's pretty rad. Check out the video here.

 

  • I just want to take a second to thank all of those who read my blog. I don't do it so that I can get people to come to my website; it's fun for me and I hope that y'all find it interesting enough to keep coming back.

  • Google always does a great job of doing a short recap of the year. What did we search for in 2014?
  • Here is a fun Star Wars themed Christmas light show for you to enjoy. 
  • If there is one thing that I've learned this last semester is that I need to be content in God's will. I ran across this quote the other day... 
“God allows in His wisdom what He could easily prevent by His power.”
  • He can easily prevent anything. Be content in what the Lord has for you. His way is always the best way.
  • If you are on that Instagram game, look me up ( @grahamdodd ). I'm always posting some artsy shoots. 
  • If you're wanting to travel, I'm sure this guy has some great ideas and tips...

  • Andy Davis always has great videos but this one is definitely towards the top!
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concert. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
  • Really excited to go to Passion : Houston Jan 30 - Feb 1! I have had the privilege of attending Passion the past two years and they have both been highlights of my year. Check out their promo video! 
  • I have admired the way that the Reach Records guys and others are redeeming culture with their music rather than ruin it. You may think Christians have no fun, but we do.

  • I've always been a fan of Pentatonix, this version of Marry Did You Know is pretty great.

“At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.”
— Oswald Chambers

“We have but faith: we cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see
And yes we trust it comes from thee,
A beam in darkness: let it grow.”
— Alfred Lord Tennyson
  • I used Pay for the first time this last week. I absolutely love it! It makes everything easier. Do you think NFC (Near Field Communication) is the future?
