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!

Something About Kindness

Being mean to a total stranger online is not acceptable. There are a lot of people who are highly sensitive and wouldn’t harm anyone themselves. So many people are ridiculed for appearance and other attributes that it isn’t fair. Why do people have to do mean things? I don’t know but they need to get right and learn how to treat others with kindness and respect. People have some sort of license online to be mean because of the cloak of anonymity it affords. It hurts even more when it’s people have no reasons to say the things they say. Words wound, they go deep. Life is too short not to love one another.

Food For Thought

If you were feeding 4-6 people and you had $15 USD or your national equivalent what you serve?

To me it would be spaghetti and garlic bread with a desert.

This has been a public service announcement.

Tunes Tuesday – Daryl Hall and John Oates – Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid

Sometimes we say things we shouldn’t to important people. Perhaps there is a comment on a blog or Facebook we shouldn’t have posted. We all say things we don’t mean but are very sorry for. “Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid” is off the Big Bang Boom record by Hall and Oates from 1984.
