Growing up, I'd heard of Masonry.

I’d heard of Masonry as that secret organization. I thought that would be cool to join a group that was out to have each other’s backs through thick and thin. When I met my future wife, I mentioned something to her father about Masonry, I had no idea the path that simple inquiry would lead me down. Eleven years later, I’ve participated in brotherly events, helped others and had a genuinely good time. That are parts of masonry that are better suited to some. My sponsor told me, “you’ll get out, whatever you put in”. What I did not know at the time was he was a past master and well regarded both as a man, a mason, family man and his ability to light up a room. Johnny was someone I called Uncle as I married into my wife’s family. I used to marvel that my wife had so many uncles (wink). At family gatherings I was drawn to his bright light, always a kind word and a nick name for everyone he chatted. Willing to lend a hand however he could. A genuinely nice guy; a brother I had the privilege to know “on the level”.

What I learned was the bond was masonry versus blood. Some could say that the masonry bond is as thick as blood, as it is given freely.

There are things I like and don’t like and there is an open forum to discuss anything on your mind.  Working together to find a better way.

Come join us, find your bright lights.
