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!

Donation Day Again At Blood Assurance @bloodassurance

It’s been 56 days since my last donation. Working for a blood bank makes giving easy. I’m always glad to help the cause this way.

It’s A Monday Fellow Weirdos

It’s a Monday and I hope you have the best day possible. I also hope you will all be weird today because it’s what the influencers are doing at the moment. Peace out good people!

Appreciation For Service to St. Peter’s

I have served on the vestry of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church for the past three years. The Vestry is the lay leadership team in the Episcopal Church. My service came at a time of personal loss and the Covid 19 pandemic. During that time, I was a part of a group of great people who served to keep things going and we did an excellent job.

For my service, I was gifted this chalice at our annual churchwide meeting. It’s nice to be recognized for doing things that help others, but I didn’t do it for that reason. Service is about so much more, it’s about being there when you get the call to help.

Transgender Day of Remembrance #TDOR #LGBTQ

Transgender people are beautiful human beings. They are living their truth on their terms. I remember those lost to the violence of ignorance and fear. To the trans community be safe and keep your guard up.

Thought Of The Day 112021

Walmart before any major holiday is a zoo I say. I’m being a good person I hope.

A Reminder To Be Thankful

This church sign comes courtesy of my former pastor Rev. Amy Cook. This is a reminder to be thankful for what we have and that we don’t need more to be thankful for. It’s all about gratitude and thanksgiving.
