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!

Quote Of The Day

Don’t ever think that just because you do things differently, you’re wrong.

Gail Tsukiyama

Blue-Collar Believer

It’s crucial for churches to embrace the thought of its members who come from all walks of life and occupations. Many are paycheck-to-paycheck and do what they can to contribute with a mix of service and giving what they can financially. Every person has a responsibility to add to the life of the congregation. I consider myself a blue-collar Episcopalian and that is a concept I feel would be best explored. No matter what is in one’s bank account, what is in their hearts and souls matters most.

I Vote, It Matters

Daily writing prompt
Do you vote in political elections?

I vote in every election although as a person who is left of center living in a deep red state, my votes don’t always mean my candidates winning. Voting is a right and privilege that everyone should exercise. Voting can mean the difference between order and chaos as we have seen.

Coronation Day – King Charles III and Queen Camilla

Today is Coronation Day. May God be with Charles and Camilla on this historic occasion. Let’s hope for a good future for The United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Nations.

More Writer Than Reader

My friends, I have been a prolific blog poster in my many years with various blogging platforms. I have been known to post 5 or more times a day. Being a prolific reader is another story. Blogging community I have been severely lapsed in reading your posts and that doesn’t seem fair considering you read and comment on mine.

I am hoping to change that and spend more time seeing what is happening in your world and in your head through your work. I ask for your forgiveness. I will work to do better. Thank you for your connections and communications. You all rock.

Your friend in blogging, Tony

Haircut Friday

I got my haircut this evening and I look like I won’t need another one for a couple of months.
