“The Master’ Series of Poetry”
Five years ago, I was inspired to begin a series of poems called “The Master’s Series.” It was completed last year in seven poems. Each one imagines what additional teachings may have rendered by Jesus that were not recorded in the Bible. On this special Preview, in preceding the celebration of “The Risen Christ,” throughout the year, these poems are my gifts to my circle of readers. One of the Seven Poems follows this announcement.

Losing a dear friend is always a very sad thing; having that lost happen during the Christmas season is especially sad (Sam passed away on December 15th, 2008). To me, Sam Shields was a very special individual, and I will miss him very much.
Sam was a beautiful man. A man of presence standing six foot five at over two hundred and fifty pounds. He had the gentle qualities of a Teddy Bear. I never remember Sam being anything but warm, generous, with words of kindness on every occasion we were together. If I could have had someone to pick as an older brother I would have picked Sam. Sam died suddenly from a massive stroke. The doctors said his life could have been saved but he would have been a total vegetable. I know Sam would not have wanted that. Sam had been an engineer with Boeing for forty-six years. He never spoke of what kind of work he did. He would laughingly say, “If I told you, I then would have to kill you.” I am going to miss Sam terribly. They do not make men like him anymore.“Cotton Fields of Clouds at Cedar Creek Lake, Texas” copyright 2013 John J. Rigo, co-owner Silver Star Winery of Texas.com

copyright 2013 John J. Rigo: Picture taken on Northwood Shores on Cedar Creek Lake in Texas on November 14th, 2013 with a Smartphone a 9:15 a.m.
This was a beautiful morning of November 14th, 2013 at Northwood Shores in Gun Barrel City, Texas on Cedar Creek lake. The timeframe for this picture taken with my Smartphone is 9:15 a.m. The clouds reminded me of cotton fields….perhaps in heaven, that I wished to share with all of you this morning. Blessings to each and every one of you this blessed morning.
