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!

Whee! Happy Friday Everyone!

As Snoopy says whee! happy Friday everyone. We have made it through the week and for that we all deserve to raise a mug of root beer and celebrate with friends like Woodstock.

Post on your blogs and have other fun too. Grace and peace to everyone!

Throwback Thursday – Being In Church #TBT #Episcopal #Anglican #ThrowbackThursday

Me In Procession of Morning Eucharist at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, TN

In many places of worship services have been conducted online in various presentations. My church hasn’t met since March and we are using local health department stats to determine when we will return to in-person worship. I have to say I miss being in my church home with my church peeps.

However at this time nothing is more important than safety for our congregation where you have a mixed demographic of people, health concerns and ages.

Doing church sometimes means being away from a building and that’s OK. I miss serving in worship but loving thy neighbor means doing the hard job of caring for them not only spiritually but physically too.

May God bless all people, everywhere who are just trying to get by these days.

Desktop Chaos

I am a minimalist when it comes to my computer desktop. There are no icons on it other than those on the lower taskbar on Windows 10. The desktop depicted on the right in the above illustration would drive me nuts and I don’t know how people find things with it that chaotic. To me in this situation less is more.
