Masters note for November

“Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear – keep us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor – with the cry of grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it”
Brother Douglas Mac Arthur
With all election BS we go through anymore this statement seems truer than ever. My brothers Freemasonry at times seems to be the only voice of sanity I hear, the only organization for the betterment of all men not just a chosen few. As masons we may disagree, but we should not go into every discussion with predetermined ideals, but should listen to our brother’s opinions.

Masters note for October

Just try to make the world a better place for your having been there

Brother Jimmy Doolittle
My brothers we my think of some things a being of a trivial nature, but a smile, a hand shake, a friendly word or sharing a meal means the world to someone. We had the pleasure of doing this at the Easter Star Masonic Retirement Home. This special meeting was to be for the brothers there, it became for me at least a special meet for us. At the last minute I decided the brothers there didn’t need to listen to us speak about missionary we needed to listen to them. We heard how and where they were made masons, of masonry during the Second World War and of being 50 plus year masons. Our Weston brothers told of our time in masonry as well some like Clark and Joe with more than 50 years and others of just beginning their journey. It was a wonderful meeting and one I hope we do again
