We will not be seeing this George Clooney film, as we see none of the movies Mr. Clooney stars in.  The reason why is simple enough, he is and was a big supporter of President Obama.  I hear your laughter and your thoughts, “Why all of Hollywood is that way” would be your thought.  Our answer, “That is why we go to very few movies.”

“I Love You’s Without Meaning” copyright 2013 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

Lately I have noticed more than ever
how often people use the words
“I Love You” more carelessly.
 
Simply sharing the words
in their minds makes them
feel good about themselves.
 
The words themselves should carry
more meaning in speaking them
than the reality of the real emotions
of the speaker.
 
When relating those words to another
it should also mean that “I am loyal to you.”
The words should relate that “I would never
say anything out of your presence about you,
that would be hurtful if said it to your face.”
 
Friendships should not be about gain
of one from another.
Friendships should be about
an “Honest” sharing of Love.
 
So on this day
of the few allotted to us
think carefully become using
the words “I Love You” to a friend.
The question here is
“Are you also worthy of Love?”

February 2nd, 2014:  In watching the Superbowl this evening thoughts of Elvis doing the half-time came to mind amidst the mindless noise of the half-time show.  Memories of seeing him in the seventies in Dallas came to mind.  To this day, that was an experience close to my heart.  Elvis,  I miss you.

It seems just like yesterday that Elis died.
In all the years that have passed since that sad day
he is still in my heart.
 
His passion
his being
his songs spoke of my own feelings.
You see
I grew up with him.
 
I remember being blessed in seeing him in person.
It was Dallas 1975.
I had a tenth row seat.
 
I could see the sweat on his forehead.
For months afterward
I had dreams of that time
I got to spend with him.
There will never be another Elvis.

“Many claim to be God-fearing and loving” when truly they are but Evil in the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing. Rejoice in Evil being overcome in your life by the Love of Jesus and the Father.

In speaking before the crowd this day
the Master spoke these words,
“Rejoice, in that Evil attempts to bring harm to you
for it is a sign that Evil is losing its battle against you.
Rejoice in knowing that with my power
Evil is being overcome in your life.”
 
In speaking the Master turned toward me
placed His hands upon my head and said,
“I Bless thee with all the glory, strength of the Father
knowing you are doing His work in serving Me.
Know my son that I Love you and Am with you.”

“In The End, Evil Defeats Itself” copyright 2010 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

Posted in Overcoming Evil Curses from Past Relationships, Poetry, upcoming book "Passion Amidst Apathy", tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 2, 2014| Leave a Comment »

“The Lord Defeats my Enemies Thru Michael who brings Death and Destruction to their doors…..Bless the Lord’s name, be in awe in the power of his angel.”

 
 
My Brothers and Sisters
one belief to remember
is in the end
Evil defeats itself.
 
Once Evil was part of the heavenly Good.
In falling from the Sight of God
did Evil still have great power.
Never will this power
overcome Good.
 
Should Evil come upon you
believe in the Lord.
Have Faith in the Lord.
 
Love the Lord with all your being.
Patience
with prayer
will destroy Evil.
 
I know this to be true.
Praise and Glory to my Lord
and God.

“Three Kinds of People in the World” copyright 2014 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

"Great saying on dealing with Backstabbers and Phoney Friends" courtesy of image Google search.

“Great saying on dealing with Backstabbers and Phoney Friends” courtesy of image Google search.

It was over thirty years ago
that a departed old friend
gave me great advice about friendships.
 
His name was Cliff Russell.
He related to me that there were
three kinds of people in the world.
 
There were the Givers
There were the Takers
There were the Givers and the Takers.
 
Cliff related that “Takers”
will suck life from your
heart and soul.
This day I have started
Housecleaning of all
“Takers from my Life.”
 
I started with
all their contact information
from my e-mail programs.
 
I removed all their
contact information
from my Smartphone.
 
I removed all their pictures
from both my computer and Smartphone.
Every scrape of paper, card, letter
picture with their image upon them
were destroyed.
 
Finally and not least
when friends asked me
about them
I told them we severed
our relationship because
our perceptions of life 
were no longer in symphony
with each other.
 
When I finished
doing all these things
I took a long shower
to get the stink of them
off my body.
