As God the Father and Jesus, His son and my Lord and Savior do not withhold the Love and Grace from any and all who know them, thus it seems that all good Freemasons should follow suit with faith and brotherly love..for Masonry teaches us to regard no man for his external wealth or possession (ie. clothing, monetary worth) but rather for the content of his character (his spiritual and moral edifice), so thus should we not look deep below the skin of each man to know him as a true brother. I believe that there are some very distinct differences in the "work" in PHM and our Masonic lodge. I do not believe our two distinct Grand Lodges should in any way be merged, just as I do not expect to have to combine our work with that of the Grand Lodges of New York, Florida, Oregon or any of the other 46 states and the American Territories either, yet we have long recognized those Grand Lodges as regular and welcomed those brothers and so many others from all around the world to join as in brotherly love and friendship. My thoughts from the heart...God bless each and every one of you who reads this and please pray hard for God's wisdom for each of us to go into the future for the good of Masonry and the glory of God.

This was a huge step in the right direction. I hope and pray that our wayward brethren will find their way soon... "well done" to those who voted "yeah" on Friday. I was very proud to be there for that historic event.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
