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!

A Banner 2018 At Work

Last year was a really productive year for me. I made the most Telerecruiting appointments in 2018 with 3,497. It’s something I’m really proud of.

I was second in appointments per hour which is nothing to sneeze at. Both accomplishments were achieved with me not feeling my best in the latter part of the year.

This year has started off OK but I haven’t been stressing over being the best when I’m not at my best.

To The Religious Folks Following Me, A Bit Of Warning

I am one of those fanboys of Jesus and its an important part of my life but I am of the persuasion I would rather be in the company of those who aren’t into Him as much as I am. Trust me I am not a prude. I am progressive. I am a liberal politically. I am LGBTQ accepting/affirming/welcoming and an ally. I drink and cuss a little. I do listen to the rock and roll music that the kids like today and yes even other forms of secular music. What you get from me is a person who lives in this world and lives by the example of loving and I choose to fear not.

If you are a believer like me and you choose to connect with me understand my relationship with my creator is one I am quite sure about and don’t come trying “save me” because that is already taken care of. Oh I also believe that perhaps other folks in other faith communities are good too. God is good and not everything wrong that happens in the world is meant to punish his people, He doesn’t work like that.

So I’m going to get off my soap box and I want to say I love my blogging friends around the world.

Still True Today

The way you treat others matters. Seems it’s more important these days.
