Transgender Day of Visibility – I Support My Trans Friends and Neighbors

March 31, 2026 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

I am a LGBTQIA supporter. On this day the contributions of trans people are being recognized. They face unfair discrimination. Laws are being passed that are cruel and heinous. I know several trans people, and they are just wanting to live their lives without fear.

The transgender community has made so many contributions to our society. Jazz Jennings, Rachel Levine, Dylan Mulvaney, Laverne Cox, Sarah McBride, Elliot Page, Nyla Rose, Gisele Shaw, Janet Mock, and so many others have made our lives culturally richer and better.

I so wish that the bullying of trans and other non-conforming people would stop. They didn’t ask for any of this. Live free trans people. You are loved.

Another Palm Sunday Reflection

March 29, 2026 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

Jesus was about soft power. He came into Palm Sunday on a donkey. Everything he owned he was wearing. He inspired love, community, cooperation, healing. Breaking bread was how he reached the hearts and souls of people. All of those things set an example for us to live our lives with love and peace and to be good neighbors. Jesus turned over tables as a means of justice and fairness. Holy chaos was his thing. We should be about soft power and some holy chaos.

A Palm Sunday Reflection – It’s Good Chaos

March 29, 2026 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

It’s Palm Sunday, and it’s where Jesus is brought in with laud and honor and by Friday he’s been nailed on a cross, died and buried. To me, it’s a story of how things can change quickly. As I think about this whole Holy Week thing is that Jesus knows what is going to happen but remains faithful. His disciples by the end of the week are wondering what in the hell is going on. They gave up their lives to follow him, and he’s being prosecuted as a criminal in the minds of the state. The only thing Jesus was guilty of was upsetting the status quo. Jesus was always good at creating good chaos wherever He went. Palm Sunday is just the beginning of it all, so perhaps today should be seen as chaos.

Something About Fast Food

March 25, 2026 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

Fast food is a convenience, but it is a hassle too when your order is given to you incomplete when going through the drive thru. It happens so much lately.

There is sometimes difficulty being understood when placing your order especially when you have questions, and you are in a rush. Then you get to the window to pay and get your order, they hand it to you, and you check your bag and there are no condiments that you asked for and no flatware that should be there. Sometimes food is missing and that is a whole other level of inconvenience.

I hate to complain, but that is the only way you can be heard when your order is incomplete. Also, fast food is getting more expensive too.

I do feel for those who work in those restaurants because I worked for McDonald’s when in college. I just wish service was better, that isn’t too much to ask.

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day, Frankie Boy Dog!

We adopted this little boy dog from the Chattanooga Humane Society three years ago. Frankie has been an endless source of light and fun in our lives. He has also been a mess and loves to play especially with his impressive collection of toys. We love you boy, thank you for choosing us.

Adopt, don’t shop!
