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!

Thought Of The Day

Religion and knowledge can work together to bring meaning to our lives. There shouldn’t be an adversarial relationship here. The more you know about your faith and the mechanics of the world can only make you a better person. It’s important to know that ones higher power has a lot to do with the chaos of creation.

This is inspired by the eulogy of a funeral I went to today.

All I Want To Do Is Sleep

I am diabetic and my blood sugar has been a bit erratic as of late. Last night I couldn’t sleep a wink due in part to the condition and also probably some sleeping problems. Rarely do I call out for work but I felt like I needed to. Today I have had no caffeine in hopes of sleeping better tonight. Let’s hope for better rest tonight because all I want to do from 11:30 to 6:00 is sleep soundly. Soon I hope to get that sleep study done. Here’s to sweet dreams.
