John J. Rigo’s name on the Veterans War Memorial in Mabank, Texas

John J. Rigo’s name on Veterans War Memorial in Mabank, Texas

Commentary for July 4th, 2013:  To my fellow veterans out there, a blessed day to you and all of your loved ones this day.

As a senior, I know there is not unlimited time in my life to be in this world.  I believe we all want to leave some part of us in the world.  Something beside a tomb stone in a forgotten grave yard some place.  Perhaps the kind of grave yard where the tomb stone lays flat on the ground.  A place where machines run across huge expanses of tomb stones while mowing.

I am proud to say, there is a place marked for me.  It is a memorial of beauty in an East Texas town of Mabank, Texas.  The memorial is a salute to perhaps, some of the happinest days of my life.  It was my four years of active duty in the Air Force.  Knowing that this place exists where my name is among those who have served our country with honor, brings me a truly wonderful peace.

Just could not help myself. Had to brag about our first AG accomplishment on our new farm in Eustace, Texas, nine miles from our lakehome in Gun Barrel City, Texas. The hay is beautiful and a bargain at the asking price, especially with more dry weather oncoming.

…..is never lost. Picture courtesy of John J. Rigo copyrighted 2013

 
A ship in the sea of life
riding each wave of life
seeking the warm sun of each day.
 
The beauty of each dream as night falls
is never lost as it heads
toward the curve of each horizon.
 
Storms will blow
onward do we flow
in love and courage
by His hand.
 
Tomorrow brings the knowing in His love
the vastness of the ocean
is not so alone.
 
As long as we believe
we will never be alone.
 
For His love
surpasses all of this.
 
This and time beyond
this brief sea of life.

“A Gathering of Buzzards in the midst of sheep”

  

It was a small community health club
in Gun Barrel City in East Texas
where they met
these men of “The Clothe.”
The meeting was twice a week.
 
A gathering of buzzards
discussing their frightened flock of sheep.
They discussed the personal lives of their church members
amidst laughter as if they were young girls in a locker room.
 
They spoke of the mental depression
the illnesses
and the marriage break-up’s of their charges
within their churches.
 
Upon hearing of a transfer of one of their members to another’s church
there was even more loud and boastful laughter among these men.
There was no subject regarding their charges
that was too personal
and too confidential
for them to discuss among themselves.
 
Faithful church members
were nothing more
than chess pieces on a board
to these men.
Jesus wept.
