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 Am Tired, I Am Sorry

I am tired of Christianity being used by the right to harm others and use the teachings of Jesus as a weapon which he would disapprove of. The Christianity I believe in is about love, service, kindness, and making people whole again. I am so sorry it’s used to harm. As a believer, I apologize for the damage it’s done to anyone. I will do my part to make it humble and just again.

It’s March And It’s Rainy

Daily writing prompt
Do you enjoy your job?

In April I will have been working at Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank for 10 years. There are days when it seems to go well and other days it’s like pulling teeth. It’s my goal to do good things to help save lives. It always depends on people willing to help out when I reach out to them to donate blood. The struggle can be real. Somedays I do enjoy it but it depends on my attitude and that counts for a lot I think.
