Despite all the garbage about Masonry on youtube, every once and a while you come across something worth sharing.  This one is from the Missouri Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons.

Last night I had the pleasure of traveling to Milltown Lodge No. 294 F&AM in Milltown, New Jersey to see an Entered Apprentice degree put on for the first time.  The degree was excellent in its execution and it was quite an educational experience to witness the whole degree without a hoodwink on.  It also warmed my heart that there was not just one candidate, but 4, who were entered last night and  I believe I heard that this particular lodge also has another 4 candidates awaiting their EA degree as well.  It looks to me like we as a Fraternity are rounding the membership bend and are continually taking on more and more people - I have great hopes that this continues!

A big congratulations and a hearty welcome are in order for these four new brothers.  I hope your journey in Freemasonry is as rewarding and fruitful as mine has been thus far!

As I write this today, I am a new person;  My body which has carried me through my 24 years of life thus far remains the same yet I am different in a way only another Brother Mason could understand.  I have learned that earthly titles which have been bestowed upon us are ultimately meaningless - Brother, Father, Mother, Sister, President, CEO, Chief, Freemason.  Nay, it is what you are in your heart and soul that defines just who you really are.

Today, I am a Master Mason... and like the grains of sand through the hourglass of life, my Journey has just begun...
