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

It’s a dog-eat-dog world, Woody, & I’m wearing Milk Bone underwear

Much Sadness, Mercy For All

There’s much sadness in the world. From war, to cancer, to economic uncertainty, to layoffs, deaths, and so much more. The sadness we all face daily should be a rallying cry to come together. It’s strange in how most of what we are experiencing is a battle of the heart and soul in everyone, and how it manifests in suffering. Things are tough, and personally, I am hoping that God will be in all the moments of our day. Mercy for all.

Being Human Is Hard, Mistakes Will Be Made

There are times when I feel that I can’t say or do anything right. It’s like I am just a bother to those around me. I hope I am a good person, but there are many occasions when I feel like I am not. Hurting people is something I never want to do. Do you ever feel like this? A change is probably needed. Being human is very hard and mistakes will be made. Should I give myself a break?

Wow! Nineteen Years With WordPress

I missed this notification yesterday that I have been with WordPress.com for nineteen years. The old saying is very true, time flies when you are blogging. I am grateful for the staff and crew behind WordPress and for everyone who has followed me over the years. Here’s to many more years of posting and connecting. Happy blogiversary to me! Peace to all of us.

Blood Donation Friday

It’s been awhile since my last blood donation. So, since I’m back in the old work neighborhood I thought I would go ahead and make a blood donation today. It’s not as convenient to do it in the new work neighborhood. Donate blood and save lives.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Hello fellow friends and freaks it’s another Friday heading into another weekend. Have the best day today and a better tomorrow. Love and peace kids.
