All posts by Tony Burgess

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!

An Episcopal Cathedral

St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral in Knoxville, Tennessee. Home of the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee. I’m here for a meeting of Episcopal parishes in East Tennessee.

It’s Friday, Let’s Rock

Have a rocking good Friday my good people. Make it a damn good day going into the weekend.

Thought Of The Day 02072024

Leadership begins with service and doing things that make life better for everyone. It also means being willing to compromise to get things done. I believe that at the heart of politics should be service and good leaders will realize that concept.

For any nation to function it must have leaders who work for the good of everyone and are sure people are free from discrimination and fear. It also means standing up for what is right and resisting forces that seek to rule by instilling fear into those they serve and serve with.

No one person should have so much influence that it impedes the service of those elected to serve the people. What is happening in Washington DC is not good. We should not tolerate the impeding of the business of governing by one person who has done very bad things.

In short, I want to see the former president who has been impeached and indicted go away. Donald Trump is not good for America and as we are seeing the world.

My Biography Title – “Dork Mode”

Daily writing prompt
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?

My biography title would be called “Dork Mode; The Life and Times of Tony Burgess” and it would be the most boring thing anyone would read. Really it would be dull.

A Dream Home

Daily writing prompt
Write about your dream home.

I have a comfortable house, and the mortgage payments are reasonable. I think I am OK there.

What I would most like to see is for others who need a safe place to live and to have their own roof over their heads. Homelessness and affordable housing is a problem everywhere. In the 21st century, no one should be without a proper dwelling. Housing should be something basic everyone should be able to have access to. To me, that would be a dream home or just dreaming of a home.

Fresh Cut And Trim On A Friday

I just got a fresh haircut and beard trim. It’s something you do on a Friday night after a long week at work. I think I look pretty good.
