The smallest deeds are noticed by many who do not comment at the time but archive their personal thoughts. If there be "drones", we, as leaders, should endeavor to redirect them to be productive Masons.Henry Garbadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631537458781165694.post-72065188387634714522010-05-29T17:45:12.719-04:002010-05-29T17:45:12.719-04:00Hello RW Brother Bo,

The effort I have made is specifically pointed toward getting back to basics, as in, DOING THE WORK. Each degree required Work to be done fully before progressing to the next. No Work means No Progression. This means changing the definition of "PROFICIENCY" to include doing the WORK each degree in question specifies.<br /><br />If there is any doubt about this, I recommend reading the "<b>Uncommon Catechism for Uncommon Masonic Education</b>" series. The books (three volumes so far) specify the Work that is called out in Ritual.<br /><br />If the Work is not done and we as a Fraternity do not demand it of out Brothers, we deserve what we get.<br /><br />Good Thought Provoking Article!<br /><br />F&S,<br /><br />Bro.

We are still viable when it comes to intellect and enlightenment. However, I think we should recognize and address the issue now lest it become too late.The Palmetto Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049500796697782077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631537458781165694.post-37009844432184598962010-05-28T13:48:14.309-04:002010-05-28T13:48:14.309-04:00VWB Grayson,
