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!
I am in no way Goth but I know people who have been and still are and they are living their truth and light in a very unique way. The Goth you see is probably a very spirit filled person who marches to the beat of their own drummer. Goth On Good People!
We are only guaranteed life in the moment, not the future. We have to live our lives without fear of the unknown or else it will paralyze us. It is strange when one life ends and the rest of the world just keeps going.
This weekend I have seen the connection of the ancient with today. From the wedding of Harry and Meghan to Pentecost Sunday. From the traditional liturgy of a wedding to the service of worship in a parish I have felt God’s presence throughout. In a world starving for something real, substantial and time tested. The eternal is what many strive for and going back can get them to the future. There is something about finding divinity in ancient practices.
