This past month I was elected to the Worshipful Master's Chair in Boise #2, Boise, Idaho - It's an honor and I am truly humbled by the faith the brethren have in me. My officers and myself will be installed on December 14, 2010 at the Boise Masonic Temple.
I've created this blog to chronicle my time and experiences in Freemasonry in the hopes that those who know me and are not Masons can get a glimpse and perhaps understand why it has become such an integral part of my life. To my brothers in Idaho and elsewhere, as an affirmation of the brotherhood we all participate in and that sense of fraternity that links us together in that "indissoluble chain of sincere affection".
Please feel free to participate, leave comments and stories. I will be linking to news stories, events, leaving historical facts and general good information about Masonry.
Ok, heres a question: what "moment" in any of the degrees do you like the most?
ReplyDeleteThe "moment"? interesting question; for me personally I'd have to say the moment when I received, or when a new candidate receives the Apron in their hands for the first time; when the Lodge room is darkened, the light shining only upon that spotless emblem of innocence, the apron lecture is almost complete...."as this fair emblem which I place within your hands tonight, and which it is hoped you will wear with pleasure to yourself and honor to the Fraternity." That is my favorite "moment".
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite "moments" comes in the First Degree; early on. Spoken by the Worshipful Master, they are simple words but carry a powerful message that transends the ritual of the degree and life inside the Lodge. Words to live one's entire life by.
