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!
I love my Jewish friends and antisemitism is morally and ethically wrong. With that being said Israel’s response to the attack of Hamas on October 7th has far exceeded what happened to them. Every day people in Palestine are suffering and entire communities are reduced to rubble. This past week relief workers from World Central Kitchen were killed by Israeli weapons of mass destruction. I think Israel has become no better than those who have attacked them. My hope is for all aggressions to cease and the hostages held by Hamas be sent home. This bloody war needs to end. May God be with Palestine. May God forgive Israel for losing their way.
(Note: I will not engage in arguments on this issue. If you want to unfriend me I am fine with that. Thank you for connecting with me.
It’s Friday and you know what that means! The weekend is at hand. Finish the week strong, get into excellent trouble and have a little fun in the process. Grace and peace and love to you all good people.
(This post is about my favorite sport, pro wrestling. Much of this makes sense to fans so if you want further explanation, just leave a comment).
I should have a big heart and open mind regarding pro wrestling. People say that tribalism is a problem and I can see that but I cannot help it. I don’t want WWE to fail but I want AEW to succeed much more. This is Wrestlemania week and I cannot get into the hype surrounding Cody Rhodes, who I miss in AEW, and the Bloodline story with Roman Reigns and The Rock. Please tell me if I am overthinking this or something else. It feels like I am cheating on AEW if I get into the Wrestlemania hype. What say you wrestling fans?
So, this ad popped up on The Facebook. I have always wanted to do a wedding and ordination is necessary. However, it might be problematic for me with The Episcopal Church that I am very blessed to be a part of. I am not even sure how the logarithm fed me this ad. Weird.
