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!
Wow everyone we made it to the weekend isn’t it awesome. Today is going to be a little busy. I have some issues with my car that I bought last weekend to take care of. There are also some odds and ends to resolve. Needless to say I am happy to be chilling out and soon I will make waffles and sausage for breakfast.
Whatever you are up to today I hope its fun and stress free. Let’s enjoy the next couple of days. Keep on blogging of course.
Christians are called upon to love their neighbors as themselves and to share the love of Christ with the world. Humility is something Jesus talked about and lived. In your work its better to do your best and show you have pride in what you do. It’s a reflection of the gifts you have been given from God. Making great shoes is a better statement of faith than to put crosses on the things you make or on your person. Martin Luther is very right that it’s better to work hard and do good than to offer lip service to a world that just doesn’t want to hear it.
Blogging on ones smartphone can be a great way to post on the run. A downside to it is the auto correct feature that takes words you meant to say and turns it into something else. The result of that is a post that doesn’t make sense if you don’t proofread it, which I am guilty of doing. When blogging on your phone keep your posts short and be sure you proof as you go along. I encourage mobile blogging because its a great way to capture the events of life in real time. Your phone can be your friend in blogging.
I am committed to observing a weekend free of political discussion on my blog and social media. This would be start at sun down on Friday. There’s been too much of it this week and a break from it all would be nice. So no talk of elections or candidates or anything else regarding the race for The White House on Saturday or Sunday. If something serious happens then maybe a blurb, but otherwise politics is off the table. Are you with me? Let’s do this.
Hey friends I hope you are having a great day. The weather here is yucky this afternoon but that seems to be the norm as of late. I am ready for some spring time weather I think. Winter seems to have come and gone without fanfare.
The weekend is coming up close. I am ready for it. Let’s finish the week strong.
