 From the Desk
of the Editor.
I guess the first of
September is a sign that summer is over and fall is soon to begin. The fact that summer is over really hit home
last night when I was outside at 8:30 and it was getting dark. Why is it that God makes the days shorter
in winter? Does it mean we are to
look inward in winter and contemplate how we can make the voyage through
life of our Brothers and fellow men easier?
Did you know that before
the invention of the electric light bulb that people slept an average of 10
hours a night. Now we don’t average
8 hours a night.
The question is, “What
have we done with those two or more hours we have every day to make the
world better or the lives of those around us better?”
I think the answer is
that most if not all of us don’t use our gifts well and don’t spend nearly
enough time using our God given gifts to make the world a better place.
My years of life
experience and study of God’s word and Masonry tell me that it isn’t the
big things, the things that show, or the things that others notice that are
truly the important things in life.
It is the little, unnoticed things we can do for others that are
truly a gift to mankind.
This year my personal
goal is to have fun at lodge and continue our “Informal Year” where we can
come to lodge in casual dress instead of getting dressed for the
occasion. Please join me in Lodge
this year.
