All posts by Tony Burgess

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 Personal Commentary

Tony Burgess of 2018 is a person who cares deeply about fairness, equality, equity and life, liberty and happiness for people who have a hard time getting it. Professionally I am dedicated to saving lives through my work. Personally I am a social justice warrior and worrier. What you see with me is what you get in person and on-line. There is zero difference. What I am seeing is a system that is not working for everyone especially those who are persecuted in one way or another.

I am made and called by the God who stands on the side of the downtrodden and the oppressed and the widowed and orphaned.To quote Lady Gaga “I Was Born This Way”.

Here’s your choice, if you like appreciate me for who I am right now great, continue to follow/friend.If you can’t stand where I am socially, religiously and politically you can part ways with me.

My final statement is to love thy neighbor as thyself and to myself be true.

Red Bank High School Homecoming 2018

At the high school alma mater supporting my Red Bank High School Lions as they take on the Sweetwater High School Wildcats. A cat fight will happen tonight in this High School Football contest.

Betray

I would betray my own gender to assure women have equality, equity and access to life, liberty and happiness without fear.

No Laughing Matter

It’s time that jokes about women being the cause of man’s problems stop. They are not proper and they do more to harm vulnerable people who have it rough to begin with.
