“That was the best movie I’ve ever seen.” – My daughter. I’ve written reviews for movies like Thor, X-Men, and The Rising Of The Planet Of The Apes. Those type of movies are fun and a nice release but the reality is that they don’t have the ability to change a human life. With the […]

On June 15th in the Atlanta area, a 2-year-old monkey escaped from the Yerkes National Primate Research Center Field Station which is associated with Emory University.  Should I be concerned?  After watching Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, maybe I should.

10 Leadership Principles And Quotes From Soul Surfer And Bethany Hamilton
Brian Dodd on July 31, 2011 in Character, Church Leadership, Family, Movies, Performance, Relationships, Sports Leadership
Normal is overrated. That is the main principle I took from the inspiring true story of Bethany Hamilton, played by AnnaSophia Robb, in the movie Soul Surfer. Hamilton was a teenage surfing champion who lost her left arm in a shark attack but worked her way back to champion status once again. With the dvd arriving August 2nd, […]
