 ------------- HUMOR ----------------

 

 

FILED UNDER:
 
It's not what you say,
it's how you say it.
 
What words
do you struggle 

to pronounce?

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

 

  ------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE  ----------------

Coach's Challenge:

 

  The Lodge wants candidates to know more

about the recognition, inter-visitation, regularity,

irregularity and clandestine aspects of the Craft.

 You are tasked with the following:

1) Put together a glossary of terms such that each is defined and explained in relation to each other..

2) Put together a chart showing how they all interconnect with each other.

3) Create a Venn diagram showing how the all relate toward each other.

 

How do you think

your candidates will benefit? 

  ------------- INSPIRATION ----------------

 

 Appreciate and Celebrate

Your Near Field
For Your Horizon
Shall Always Be Distant

What do you

appreciate & Celebrate?

 ------------- LEADERSHIP ----------------

How do you lead?

------------- MYTH ----------------

 

“How teach again, however,
what has been taught correctly
and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times,
throughout the millenniums of mankind's prudent folly?
That is the hero's ultimate difficult task.” 

― Joseph Campbell,
The Hero With a Thousand Faces

WOW!  CAN I SO RELATE!

------------- INSIGHT ---------------- 

 

 

Contrary to what many Brothers Believe,
there are some Petitioners who merely want to Experience the Rituals
and be Associated with the Fraternity thereafter.

Do you really know
what your candidates want
out of Freemasonry?

------------- HOLIDAY ----------------

 

 

STAY CALM
and
THANK A VETERAN

------------- REALITY ----------------

 

 Some lift the Veil.
Some Trip on It.
Some have it Yanked out from Under Them.
And some, through no personal fault,
Unceremoniously Slip on It
like a banana peel.

 How do you approach Veils?

------------- ABUNDANCE DEMANDS IT! ----------------

 

 

There's Rarely Abundance Wrought

Without Equitable Risk & Investment

 

What Have you risked 

to get what you wanted? 

 

------------- WISH LIST ----------------

 

Wouldn't it be truly awesome
if someone took the time
to write and publish some books
that showed the
Transformative Teachings of Masonry
in Practical and Understandable forms?

------------- TARGETED GOALS ----------------

 

Meetings should never be
so designed or implemented in any way
as to destroy what little interest remains
in those who attend them.

What do you have at your meetings
that nurtures attendees
enough for them to what more?

------------- YUP! ----------------

 

  For Further Light:
Differences!

------------- RITUAL THOUGHT ----------------

 

What part of being Bound
by a Strong Cord of a Moral Obligation
don't you Understand?

 ------------- DO THE WORK ----------------

 To Study any Theological or Philosophical text Properly,
you must first study the Seven Liberal Arts & Sciences.
If you do not know why, you should find out.

What Work of yours
remains not done?

------------- THOUGHT PROVOKING ----------------
