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!

Our 26th Anniversary

A couple of crazy kids said, “I do” 26 years ago. I love you, Laura, and thanks for putting up with me all these years. Here’s to many more.

Six Word Story

Vampires and werewolves are a family.

Quote Of The Day

It’s not enough to feed people. They need to be included.

Paraphrased from the British TV Show “Call The Midwife”

Something About Diversity

We appreciate and marvel over the diversity of nature. Why can’t we do the same with human beings? Isn’t it strange?

What Job Would I Do For Free?

Daily writing prompt
What job would you do for free?

Before I got the job I have now, I did some volunteer work for a local charity that helps homeless folks transition to getting affordable housing. I answered phones and did some other things. I even served on the board of directors for a while. That was a fun thing to do as I looked for work. Volunteering is a good way to keep skills sharp and to give back.

At my church, I serve during the worship services as a communion assistant and as a live video streaming and sound tech. I have also served on the leadership team known as the vestry.

So I would guess I would do things for free that I feel passionate about and that can make a difference.
