A Place Where We Want To Live

There has been a lot happening in the last few days. Some people had their world opened up while others seems to be in an alien land, well different from what they had always known. People who are different want to live equally in community with others and to have some human dignity.

Many people have more resources available to them that were once reserved for a few. What we have here is a selfishness that has been in play for years. I want people on the fringes to have what others have, acceptance, inclusion, love. The faith I ascribe to is one where God loves everyone, inclusion is the norm and hate and exclusion are shunned. The world is full of people who want the world to be their way, for people who are only like them. We need community to love the freaks and geeks like me.

Right now there is war and rumor of war along with a lot of hunger and famine and there is something we can do about it. We have to be the peace we want to see. Now is the time to make this world a place where we want to live and that place is for everyone.

Servanthood

If we were genuinely concerned about the welfare of others and served humankind appropriately the our world would be a better place.  Selfishness, pride and apathy have done a lot of damage to family and community.  Humbling ones self to be willing to get your hands dirty is a sacrifice worth making. Let’s never forget about the generations before us who did that because it was a part of their DNA. Let’s work to make our lives and the world better for all of us, being a servant is cool.

I Am A WordPress Convert

wordpress-logo.jpgIt’s safe to say I am a WordPress convert. There I said it. Now I feel better. With all due respect to Tumblr, I now feel like I am blogging seriously now. There are amazing tools here for expression, communication and connections.

This is now my official blog of note. When you want to know what is going on with me, http://tonyburgess1969.net is where you go. It is good to be here.

Rambling About Complaining

I complain about stuff, we all complain about stuff. Maybe we complain too much. Nothing in life will go our way all the time. We won’t get our way all the time either.  Maybe if we would make due with what we have and learn to adapt our situations could be better. It’s easier said than done in that situation. Sometimes complaining is an indication that we need to change our hearts and minds, do something different. Nothing stays the same so the more we embrace that fact the better our attitudes can be. How you learn to roll with the punches says something about you. So when you feel like complaining, is there something you can do to change the circumstances and situation you are in? Just a thought for the day.
