Ohhh this one hits home. 🔨🧱

A man’s religion.
His politics.
His bank account.
His skin colour.
His job title.

None of it tells me who he really is.

Freemasonry taught me something simple — and powerful:

It’s not about what you claim.
It’s about how you conduct yourself.

You can wear the finest suit…
Or a worn-out work jacket.
You can quote scripture…
Or never open a holy book.

But if you treat people with dignity, fairness, and respect —
you’re already walking the path of a good man.

In the lodge, we meet on the level.
No titles.
No politics.
No division.

Just men trying to be better than we were yesterday.

Because character isn’t inherited.
It’s built.
Like stone — shaped by effort, pressure, and discipline.

Do the right thing.
Even when nobody’s looking.

That’s the work.

It's national motivation and inspiration day. Pic is from the West Salem lodge. It seems fitting.

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!
Interestingly enough New Year's day became an official holiday in 1870.
It originated from Roman traditions honoring Janis ( God of beginnings). Hence the name for January.
