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!

Living Faith Instead Of Boasting About It

It doesn’t bother me that mentions of faith are edited out of media or commerce or culture. What does bother me is when believers don’t reflect faith, grace, empathy, sympathy and peace that Jesus displayed throughout his ministry. Imposing ones faith on someone isn’t cool but inspiring them to embrace it is very cool. Perhaps if those who profess faith would really live it instead of just boasting about it more people would find it attractive. I learned the hard way that trying to force someone to believe something isn’t going to make them believe it, most times its to the contrary.

Mobile Blogging

I am finding when you post from your app shorter posts seem to work best. A short “Twitter-like” approach can make it easier and more fun. I will do more status-type updates from my phone than full-length posts. A picture can help share your story with few words. WordPress features various post types which can help you tell your story quickly. Have fun posting remotely.

It’s Monday Again, Blah!

I’m proud to be your weird not-so imaginary friend.

In some parts of the world, the United Kingdom specifically it’s Mother’s Day. To all those mums who are keeping their families and communities going I salute you and appreciate what you do to make the life better for those in your lives. I hope you have had a great day and have been spoiled with as much love as you give.

How are you my lovely blogging friends?
