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 feel as if my blogging is getting stale. Lately I haven’t been posting as much for reasons I am trying to figure out. Sometimes it feels like my depression is getting in the way. My motto is “keep on blogging” but sometimes I think I am in need of a re-fresh. I don’t find myself being very creative at the moment. Do you go through this sort of thing? Your comments are welcome.
I got a new diabetes meter today that is more old school than my previous meter. This is a cool device that connects with my smartphone so I can log my readings and keep an eye on my Type 2 diabetes. This kit included everything I needed to get going and that is why I chose it. Let’s see how it goes.
I am in support of the people of Palestine. While most of the people I know are supporting Israel I am seeing things from a different perspective. There is a difference between Biblical Israel and the current State has only been in existence since 1948. The arrogance of modern Israel’s government is stunning. What is happening there is akin to Apartheid. Of course, this is a highly ancient and complex issue with no easy solutions it seems. This does not mean I am anti-Jew because some good friends are Jewish, I will probably take heat for this but the people of Palestine deserve better and they are God’s children too. Palestinians love their children too.
