All posts by Tony Burgess

Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Being Myself

No one should force their idea of masculinity on me or anyone else. Being myself is what I want to be and sometimes it means being a little feminine.

What Ya Say

What ya say matters in the world, perhaps now more than ever. It can be a challenge to keep up with ever changing social conventions. People will trip up and make mistakes in what they say. Its important to educate and have some grace. I say stuff that can be seen as insensitive and perhaps backwards, yeah believe it or not. Being contrite is important and changing ones heart and mind can be a great way to advance understanding and peace. To me this is not political correctness its just being polite and loving your neighbor as you love yourself.

Status Update

I didn’t feel well yesterday evening and through some of the day today. As a man I suck at being sick so I took today off. Call it the man flu if you wish. Some days you just need to take a day.

Black and White Photo Challenge – Day 3
