-------------- HUMOR --------------  

 

When you think you have it to sell, 

you don't. 

 

For Further Light:
Is it the real thing?

 

-------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------- 

 

-------------- CHARACTER --------------  

 

  

The difference between 

men who have done the Work 

and those who have not 

is that the former do not get caught up in a metaphor, 

while the latter are chained to it. 

 

For Further Light:
Support

 

-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  

 

-------------- ALLEGORY--------------  

 

 Until You Get 

Your Nuts Out of the Shadows

 and Into the Light, 

They are not Going to Grow 

in Worthwhile Directions

 

 -------------- WORK --------------  

 

"It is often said that
Freemasonry 'Takes good men and makes them better men.'
You don't, however, become a better man
the moment you are given that secret handshake
or have that secret word whispered in your ear.
It takes time, patience, and perseverance to get there.
Only by studying and understanding
our obligations, lectures and charges
will we ever attain an understanding
of what Freemasonry means.
It is only by applying the principles taught in the above
into our daily lives that we will ever become
that 'Better Man.' "
- Bro. Dennis Ricker / June 20, 2014

Ineptocracy. (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy)

 

 a system of government where 

the least capable to lead are elected

and where the members of society 

least likely to sustain themselves or succeed 

are rewarded with goods and services 

paid for by the confiscated wealth 

of a diminishing number of producers. 

 

  

Nugacity: 

 

Complaining in any Direction

 that Makes no Difference 

Whatsoever.
