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!

Status Update

Good Thursday morning my fellow weirdos. Let’s see what happens today. Make it a good one.

Tips For Blood Donation

It’s best that it be your blood when you donate blood. If it’s someone else’s blood then it becomes a messy legal thing.

World Mental Health Day, Mental Health Matters

There is a lot of stuff going on in the world today. The same could be said about our personal lives. Mental health is important and vital. For too long it was stigmatized. Lately it’s been a subject of focus because mental and physical health are connected. If you need help, get help. No need in suffering alone when you don’t have to. Your mental health should matter because it impacts more than just yourself.

About Our Time

Time is an unstoppable force and a journey. If we are fortunate we have people who will walk with us in this life. Our lives are like a string that is sometimes straight, sometimes crooked, sometimes knotted. No matter what we must live as each day is our last. Be thankful for every minute we have. Hit a home run, hit a 3-pointer, and spike the ball of life. Do what you can to make your life and the lives of others special.

Yeah, I Am A Religious Person

I am a religious person who was gifted a brain from my creator that I use openly, freely, and without control. I embrace freedom of spirit, mind, and will. I come in peace to understand and love others. I hope I set a good example of what that can look like to other religious people. I hope I make sense here.

Just so you know I am not a member of a cult nor am I brainwashed.
