Me thinks it's Brother JJones handlebar mustache and three-piece, wide-lapelled, tux that so inspires me. Brother, that's solid class!:40:
And, scialytic is going to be an easy one to call Brother before he is through. Brother Benton has fine advice and I enjoy his comments. He's a true mason's mason.
jvarnell sometimes folks don't come across as well as they would like to on e-mail. There's much to be said about the communication of body language lost to this medium. Remember we process information with all of our senses. This medium does not afford that luxury.
Still brethren, please do not forget that we meet upon the level, and act by the plumb, and part upon the square.
Those who forget this critical tenant of freemasonry are surely running amiss of their promise. But remember this my fine young brothers. Masons are human and subject to all the imperfections of the species. Be ye diligent, prudent, temperate, discreet. We're all subject to shortcomings. Masonry arms us with the ability to overcome.
Keep questioning, probing, and pushing the envelope. Guys that's what brought on the Age of Enlightenment, masonry' finest hour!
With such fine young men as you, I think masonry is going to do just fine. Just fine indeed!
God bless
