Dear Brethren,

However you may celebrate during this time of year, I want to wish you all a Happy Holiday Season and Happy (hopefully COVID free) New Year.

Quote of the Week:

 

“A true friend is someone who is there for you when he’d rather be anywhere else.”

Len Wein
Comic book writer

You could easily replace the word friend with Mason.  We are taught this lesson many different times in our Masonic journey. We have vowed to help, aid, and assist each other on more than one occasion.  We are taught by the exercise of Brotherly Love that Masonry unites men of every country, sect, and opinion and conciliates true friendship among those who might have remained at a perpetual distance.  Remember, Masonry is a Brotherhood and we are only as great as the sum of all our members.  Is this not why a majority of us joined; to be a part of something bigger than ourselves?
