Random Building Thoughts - 2024-02-26

 

 -------------- PSA -------------- 
 
  
Unfortunately, 
Some Brothers 
Willingly Accept Substitutes 
for The Real Thing.* 

* and shamelessly encourage others 
to do the same!
 
(As an aside, 
it's utterly amazing,
 but not surprising,
 how some members fixate 
upon the square and compasses 
appearing on a can associated with alcohol 
rather than the blatant message in fine print 
intended to drive home the point that 
it is NOT the real thing, 
just because a symbol appears on something.
 
These mental exercises 
in the form of memes 
are designed to provide
opportunity to members
to think outside the box
of indoctrination
that prevents them from seeing
what Masonry truly has to offer.
 
Masonry is not about meeting minutes, 
treasurer's reports, and arguing about 
dues and how someone did it in their year...
or a square & compasses on a beer can!  
 
It's about getting past the veil of ignorance
and seeing what's on the other side!)
 
  -------------- MASONIC EDUCATION -------------- 
 

For Further Light:

Murder & Treason

-------------- HUMOR --------------


Have you ever has one of those days 
where you have a setting maul
 and everyone looks like Hiram?
 
 -------------- DESIGNED... -------------- 
 

Freemasonry 
 is designed and implemented 
to attract Good men to Masonry. 
What they do with Masonry 
once they find It 
is entirely up to them. 
 
 -------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE -------------- 

QUESTION: What is the number one challenge facing Freemasonry in the 21st century?
 
ANSWER: Re-Establishing a Quality Control System that actually does Make Good Men Better and then Maintaining that System at High Levels into the future. 
 
REASONING: Without such a system, Freemasonry will forever be less than it could be and, as a result, will never live up to the expectations of those who join.
 
PROBLEM:
  1. Current no betterment momentum 
  2. Current no well-entrenched supportive betterment attitudes or betterment supportive systems
  3. Currently no standardized betterment curriculum, betterment direction, or betterment leadership
  4. Currently no betterment understanding of or for betterment educational needs
CHALLENGE
  1. How would your lodge define "betterment" as applied to "making good men better?"  
  2. How would you implement a system-wide program to assure that what your lodge offers actually does improve those members who join your ranks? 
  3. How would you go about getting "buy in" from your lodge to assure this system was supported?
 Enjoy!

 -------------- HOW MANY? -------------- 
 
 
How Many Others 
Have Caught Fire 
By Your Flame?
 
 -------------- WAKE UP! -------------- 
 
 

"If you want your dreams to come true, 
don't oversleep."
-- Bro. Jerry C Townsend 
 
 -------------- DARE TO! -------------- 
 

 
Dare to Think outside The Box Offered you 
by those Entrenched in their own Treasured History. 
Their Archives offer only 
a Biased Account of What Was, 
and not What Shall Eventually Be!
 
 -------------- MYTH -------------- 
 
  
-------------- SUFFERING INSIGHT... -------------- 
 

 -------------- RECORDS -------------- 
 
 
 
 
-------------- END --------------

 Be Well and Travel Light!
