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

It’s OK for older guys to make a fool of themselves every now and then. Being yourself can be fun. What is being grown up anyway?

Tunes Tuesday – Foo Fighters: My Hero

This song by The Foo Fighters is inspirational and tells the story of a hero. Something we are seeing a lot of lately. Being a hero is a noble thing if you ask me.

What I Want To Be True: A Commentary

YouTube is a great place on the web but like anything you see on the Web you have to take with a grain of salt. In this time of pandemic you have to do your research and not let a video tell you something that might require more information. What we want to be true might not be what is factual. Be wary my friends. Accuracy is the difference in life and death these days.

Am I Narrow Minded?

I find myself wanting to be in the company of like minded kindred spirits. That doesn’t mean I’m not willing to be friendly with those I have a disagreement with. Keeping my life free of a lot of conflict is what I am seeking these days. Maybe I don’t have the emotional capital to invest in arguing and that sort of thing. I guess if it means me being narrow minded for a peace of mind then yeah.
