Companions:
Well 2010 has started of with a "bit" of a rocky start. Some prominent Masons (as well as a few family members) have passed on to the Celestial Lodge on High. Which brings into question our own mortality. Are we ever ready for the "unexpected"? It's inevitable! We are all going to meet the Great Architect of the Universe someday. As Masons our life long journey in the quest for Light should prepare us for this day. As York Rite Masons we receive even more light. Do you practice the tenets of Freemasonry on a daily basis? Give a little extra of yourselves for the York Rite? Attend services of your faith on a regular basis? Attend Lodge and appendant body obligations? Companions, the tools and the support system to make a good man better are in place but... they only work if you use them!  See you in the Chapter..
