Greetings and salutations.......
I am looking forward to my first hurtle on Sept 21, 2006 with my new brothers at the Blue Lodge # 223 in Camden, Missouri....in a crazy mixed up world going through one crisis after another it's a blessing to work toward being with men who hold at least the basics of truth, justice and the ethical way......
Respectfully,
Dave Laskowski

Yes indeed.....@ 7:30 pm is the first official evening....every week I have received a positive piece of mail from the Lodge Secretary.....since the installation of officers is a public event my wife Linda and I will be heading up there in about a hour or so.....I love how the Universe arranges one's daily events if one is receptive to flowing in a forward direction!......  | |

Tonight was worth the wait!

Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Missouri Posts: 21 Rep: Rep Power: 0 | Thank you for your kind thoughts!....no, I have finally learned over the years to enjoy the process....if anything, it will take time for me to absorb what I experienced in this first degree, this morning my thoughts went to the millions and millions of men who have gone through the same experience over the last 600 years....to what their day after was like, especially the actual Masons who had to get up the next day and start laying block at a church or temple....if all men could experience the same good feeling our nightly news would not be filled with such fear and sadness...... | |
