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!

That’s me in the foreground with a Hiwassee College t-shirt on. This was from 1991 during a co-ed bible study I was a part of in college. This brings back some serious memories. I look like a dork there right out there in front. I miss times like this a little but I am really enjoying the here and now.

It’s Time To Lower That Flag

I support the move of the Confederate flag to a museum or perhaps to the pages of a history book. Americans of all stripes should work towards building a new heritage of inclusion, peace, love and reconciliation. As a southerner that flag does not speak for me because I live in the 21st century, not the 19th. We must all focus on building a new south where people of all races, genders, orientation and religions are free to live without fear.

My heritage is being made now.

Foo Fighters: Learn To Fly

This is one of their earliest songs but one that sticks in my head. It sounds a little inspirational if you ask me.

A Cody Dog Update

Our Cody boy dog had a growth removed from his ear last Wednesday. The vet had it sent to a pathologist for testing to see if was cancerous or not. Well today we get the call that its NOT cancer so its very good news. So we bought our boy a new toy and a special snack to celebrate. He means a lot to us so we wanted to do something for him. We thank God for this important development.
