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!

Flash Flood Warning For Hamilton County Tennessee

It’s rained a lot here the last few days. Everything is wet and people are having to be extra careful getting around. Flooding is going to be a problem for the area.

My Office For The Day

My office for the day. I’m representing Blood Assurance at a wellness event for the local service center of a natural insurance company today. This is a pretty big event with lots of vendors from across the area.

Entertainers, Fallen From Grace

Bill Cosby is one of many famous people who have fallen from grace. They commanded our attention and entertained us and then they were ushered into the hall of shame. It sounds a bit harsh however its true. We sometimes put too much of ourselves into those who we see on stages and screens. Fame can be a bitch and power can corrupt. People are imperfect but when you do very bad things there is always a price to pay and its not at the box office.

Global By Grace of God

I might be American by birth but through God I am a citizen of the world where His love knows no bounds. My heart and soul exists globally but I am to act locally. I also don’t see favorites when it comes to divine opportunity and grace. The world is so much bigger than the borders of a nation and that’s where we find love.
