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!
All Saints’ Day is a celebration of all Christian saints, particularly those who have no special feast days of their own, in many Roman Catholic, Anglican and Protestant churches. In many western churches it is annually held November 1 and in many eastern churches it is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost.(From timeanddate.com)
I am grateful for all those who have inspired me to be the person I am who now are among the company of saints. On a day like this it is good to remember those people who sacrificed and gave their lives in the service of their creator and for people from all walks of life. God bless them for they are Holy and worthy.
It’s November 2016 and unlike prior November’s the colors don’t look like this where I am. It feels more like late Spring with temps in the 80’s. I am ready for a significant cool down.
In the spirit of Halloween and Christmas perhaps adults can remember what it was to be a child. This is a time when they can use their imagination, pretend to be someone else and to have some fun. Maybe we can rediscover a sense of wonder and play…perhaps a some innocence too. There is too much about life we take to seriously but sometimes we need to let our hair down and have some peace in the chaos.
This is a group photo of my work colleagues dressed up for Halloween. It was nice to see grownups enjoying the day too. We do this every year. (Do not re-blog please)
