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.

Yeah, Survive Monday

It’s Monday again (insert explicative) and I’m just in it to survive. After a good weekend it’s back to the grind. I need coffee and a hug. Have the best day possible my friends.

Thought Of The Day

Imagine giving up your whole life for a cause bigger than anything you can imagine. Doing something worthwhile that would change the world. Just dropping what you were doing and going into a place only in your imagination. It takes someone, something special in order for that sort of thing to happen. Be open to that possibility when it comes to you if you dare.

Titles Matter

When you hold a title like Doctor, Reverend, Rabbi, Imam, Sergeant, General, Mayor or President that means something. You have earned the title or have been chosen or elected to be elevated to lead and serve. To me its a matter of respect to address someone by their title. It’s important that people in such positions know they have a responsibility with the title given to them. Professional abbreviations matter too because people have worked to become an expert in their chosen field. All this comes down to showing that people have reverence and respect for others and to recognize their achievements.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Revelation

The word Revelation has a couple of different meanings for me. One religious/spiritual the other is a part of finding out who I am.

As a believer Revelation is a book of The Bible with a lot of imagery and apocalyptic writings dealing with how the world will end and that sort of thing. It’s a part of the story of faith but one I don’t pay much attention to. There are other parts of that Holy book that give me comfort and guidance.

Now revelation is how we reveal ourselves over time. It’s important to see how our story will unfold. There are truths we find in life and in the world that are important to help us understand what’s going on. It’s cool when we find out things about ourselves that are a part of our life’s journey. Surprises are a part of our personal revelation.

Thought Of The Day

When financial planning companies use music from your generation to sell their products it makes one feel older than they wanna be. Especially for retirement purposes. Just saying.
