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!

It’s Time To Spring Forward America!…Boo! #dst

Daylight Saving Time (United States) 2016 begins at 2:00 AM on Sunday, March 13 and ends at 2:00 AM on Sunday, November 6.

Most mobile phones will adjust automatically. However set your alarm for tomorrow earlier just in case. You have to adjust all the clocks in your house manually tomorrow.

I hate this time of year. Any time shift really sucks because it throws your rhythms and body schedule off kilter. It’s time to change once again.

Quote Of The Day

“You can embrace your own faith’s authenticity and still accept that others believe in something else.” Mitch Albom

A Slightly Political Ramble

I am a left of center person who believes America is great when everyone has a seat at the table, people are taken care of and love wins for all. To me freedom is about assuring life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is extended to the least of these. America is only great when everyone can realize equal opportunities. Security is more than a call to arms its knowing that everyone is safe in the knowledge that their future will be bright. Today we should look ahead to new things and we cannot revisit the past that held people back.

Catching up on some blogs

If you see a ton of likes on your posts from me today I’m just catching up on some blogs today. I think it’s thrilling to get a bunch of likes all at once, it means you like my posts and I hope me too. It’s fun to go to a blogger you don’t follow a and just randomly like a ton of their posts. Hopefully it will make their day. Keep on blogging my friends.

Make America Great…Well we all can do that, not just Mr. Trump.

If you want to make America Great… End homophobia, be faithful, make health care available for all, educate people to succeed, increase pay for the ones who need it most. Be nice and love one another.

Feed the hungry, clothe the poor and heal the sick.

America isn’t so bad. It’s not a place where rich people should have unlimited freedom to get away with poisoning the planet, being prejudiced  and being racist…and not playing by the rules everyone does.

America should be good, but not greater than any other country. We need some humility too. Just saying.

#FBF Flashback Friday: The Police “Synchronicity 1”

A classic song from an epic record. The Police were an awesome band. I had this cassette and played it a lot on my stereo system. This live performance has lots of energy and sound. Another example of how cool the 1980’s were in music.
