Weekend at Hiram's

When you're faced with a tragedy, make sure your cast can pick up the slack(ers).

Something for Nothing

Masonry teaches us that wages are paid for with the price of labor.

Nourishment, refreshment, and joy are the payments for your efforts.

If you get nothing out of Masonry, then you have not put any effort into it.

Doing it wrong

If becoming a Master Mason was effortless, then you're doing it wrong.

Remember that labor is part of the growing experience.

Lesser Lights

They may be "lesser," but they "illuminate" a lot when other lights are turned off.

Flourescent Lights - Inititation

Remember when our ancient brethren were initiated underneath the glow of fluorescent lighting?

Me neither.

What can you do to make initiation a more memorable experience?

Bible Centric

“Masonry makes great declaration of the sanctity of religious freedom within ones-self, as well as allowing these sacred beliefs to be personal and private.  And as we may hold a personal aspect of these beliefs within ourselves, there exists an external source of understanding.  This source of understanding is a book that takes center stage in all of our Lodges.”

Bible and Candles

If you're looking for illumination, remember to look at what is being illuminated.
