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!

Mindless Diversions, Escape Reality

The world in which we live is tough and sometimes hard to deal with. I have been a news junkie throughout my life and I have come to the conclusion we all need some mindless diversions to help us make it through our daily grind. I would never say bury your head in the sand but you know there is only so much reality any of us can stand.

We all need to get away from it all and find something recreational. So no matter how you find your diversions may it be good, mentally healthy, and most importantly fun.

I Am Team Jesus But I Cuss Some Too

I don’t have a problem with profanity if it’s artistic and emotional. Swear words need to have a purpose. I didn’t used to cuss but as I have gotten older I have said what the Hell, let’s express myself. It’s a part of not trying to please everyone all the time. Righteous anger is righteous.

To me, the way Christians treat others sometimes is way more profane than any cuss word could be.
