Happy New Year

‎"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man." -Brother Benjamin Franklin

Happy New Year to all of my Brothers and Fellows.  I am not one to make resolutions, but I made one last year and it was a successful one.  I resolved to make myself a better man and I did.  I joined Freemasonry and it has been an amazing year.  I have met a lot of great guys and have had some great adventures.

It hasn't been all rosy, but overall a wonderful experience.  My resolution for 2011 is to gain more light in Masonry and to make myself a better man.  Benjamin Franklin's words, over two hundred years old, still ring true today.  

I brought a friend into Masonry, watched him get his first degree and I am looking forward to seeing him progress through his second and third degrees.  I hope to see the light of Masonry inspire him through 2011 as it did for me in 2010.  I hope that I can inspire other men to take up the cause and become active and productive members of Freemasonry in Chicago.
