What Masonry means to meWHAT MASONARY MEANS TO ME
My name is Michael Edwin Murphy. I have always wanted to be a mason but I wasn't sure I could get in because of my physical limitations which make it difficult for me to get around. But due to the efforts of several members of the local lodge of which my father Lewis Murphy is a member and several brothers from afar as well as the concent of the Grand Lodge of Texas, I have accomplished a very important dream of mine. "The dream of becoming a mason" even tough the journey was a difficult one. Being a mason is special lto me because I AM DISABLED. I joined the Masons of Rockport Masonic Lodge #323 in March of 2003, I received my fellowcraft in July and I was raised to the sublime degree of a master mason on Oct. 2, 2003. PGM Leonard P.

It might readily be described as ‘Masonry means the world to me’, but that encompasses a rather broad statement without a definitive answer. Daniel Walling
Other than my personal faith, becoming a mason has been one of the biggest and most important decisions I have made. Freemasonry is not a hobby or social club; it is a way of life. Sam Whitley
It is a means of reminding me of my role in this life... to make life a little better for myself and others by my actions. It is my reminder that doing the right and ethical thing is my duty and charge. It is one manifestation of my Christian faith. I have never felt that either conflicted with the other. David Melear

Masonry to me is a way of life, and that is exactly what it means to me. I have often wondered which is most important in my life, and I list them as God,Family, Country, and Masonry. Masonry is a moral base for me to live my life in a better way. William Rhitland Moore - What Masonry means to meSubmitted by Erik X Briseño on Sun, 2009-11-22 00:34William Rhitland Moore
Masonry is the legend or key of the map which your life has unfolded before you. It is very close to what I thought was a way to live ones life. It keeps me centered and going in the right direction. There is virtually no decision that I make that does not come under the scrutiny of at least one of the Masonic principals I have learned. I have many, many "good friends." |
