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!

Observing Remembrance, Sacrifice, and Service

Today, we remember the lives lost and those who have served. Veterans Day in the United States honors those who have served their country in the military. In the Commonwealth of Nations of Britain, including Canada, Remembrance Day honors those whose lives have been lost in defending their nation. In both observances, it’s the recognition of the sacrifice of oneself for freedom and for the ones they love.

Being A Better Ally

In the aftermath of the 2024 election it is going to be important for allies and supporters of marginalized people.

I will try my best to do good stuff but I do know I will make mistakes. Guidance is helpful here. What can I do to be of help.

Doing Church Content This Morning At St. Peter’s

This is what I’m doing at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church this morning. Livestreaming our worship service and house sound is something I do at church so people who can’t be at church can worship in real time or whenever they can tune in. Check it out on YouTube.
