All growth occurs when we step out of our comfort zone and face those things we avoid about ourselves and society.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926016719529609904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909814477098868440.post-64887906111008568852016-07-10T08:53:08.979-05:002016-07-10T08:53:08.979-05:00It appears that very few people have the necessary...It appears that very few people have the necessary cajones to change things we need to change. Wee succumb to the “Well in My day ....” and don’t, for whatever reason want to bring the respective bodies into the current time arena. It appears that being mediocre is the Word of Freemasons all over the country. I have been a Mason for almost 45 years, and very few changes to meeting format have changed, not only in my lodges, but in other bodies as well. Why is it that we don’t want to upset the old timers? Is their adherence to the ”Old Ways” a hindrance or not? What I have found in most cases is a fear to change. We must face that fear and allow the younger masons, not only in age, but in age in the fraternity, the freedom to customize the meeting structure to fit their needs. After all they are the ones who are going to keep Masonry alive after we are long gone. Consider, my brothers, stepping out of your comfort zone and allow some changes to take place. Make your meetings fun and worthwhile to attend. Who knows you just might be surprised and glad you did.<br /><br />Douglas Reece, PM, 32º KCCHAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587145084911465719noreply@blogger.com
