Y’all Means All
It’s a true gift to be in community with a body of believers who are from all across the spectrum of life and experience. Opening the doors wider is better for everyone. Right now the people of the world need to know about a love that never ends. As a person of faith I am committed to being a part of that community that makes connections with people where they are and who they are. Diversity in gift and spirit makes this whole thing work. To God be the glory. May the peace of the Lord be with all people. Thank you St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga for being that place.
I Get Emotional
Oh I’m an emotional and sentimental fool who has been known to cry and feel. I need to vent and make mistakes in the process. Grace is needed for men like me now more than ever, or something like that.

40 Clove Garlic Chicken
Dinner Tonight Was So, So, So Right!
This recipe is a classic, and for good reason. There are probably hundreds of variations, if not thousands; this one is mine. Bon appetit!

- 3 bulbs garlic, peeled (yields at least 40 cloves)

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter

Distributed peeled garlic and herbs de Provence evenly over and between chicken; continue heating chicken until no pink is visible. Cover and place in 350 degree oven for 90 minutes. Remove chicken and tent with foil. Add butter to skillet over medium heat; when melted, whisk in flour…

A New Look For The Tony Burgess Blog From A Familiar Theme #wordpress
An important part of blogging is how the reader responds. They can’t respond if the typeface is too small or there is too much going on the screen at one time. I have used 1, 2 and 3 column layouts in my blogging career but the two column seems to strike a good balance of information and content with some eye candy thrown in.
The Toujours theme offers a font size that is easy to read along with plenty of blank space it doesn’t seem so crowded. I have used this theme before but I am employing some new ways to display recent posts among other features to make the blog stand out.
I hope you will enjoy my blog even more with these aesthetic and functional changes. Your interest in me and this blog are appreciated.
