Challenges Along the Path

It's a busy time and point along my masonic path. I have several projects in the works and I have three outlets to publish and share them. I have this website, the FB Blog (A Mason's Journey), and my original FB education group "BroBill's Masonic Education Group". As I finish my current backlog of projects I will be able to share each of them on at least one or two of my online venues.

Return to the East

Here's what's in the works:

1. I'm working on a paper on expectations in and of masonry

2. I've opened my Lodge Education Manual for a revision and I plan to publish it as a book this time around

3. I'm adding a reference page to my website where I will store sources, reading lists, and other historical documents/pubs of interest; then I have to populate that page

4. I am pondering the possibility of adding a masonic community forum to my website

5. I'm designing and creating a Masonic Chart for Valley-Hi Lodge that will be tailored to Valley-Hi's history

Those are the current projects that are related to my web and social media efforts. In addition to those projects, I was also installed on Saturday as Worshipful Master of my lodge for the second time, I'm starting initial planning for hosting the Fall 2021 Briscoe Workshop coming up in September/October, prepping to do the photography for the installations at one of my lodges and my York Rite chapter and council, and working on a filing system for my York Rite chapter and council.

I was worried that when I retired from my full-time work career that I would have enough to do to stay busy... I suppose I have adequately addressed that concern. As I lean into this ensuing year in the East at my lodge, I at least know that this will be the last office I will seek and/or hold in any of the various organizations I belong to. It is, I think, no, I'm sure it is time to pass the reigns and let others take the lead while I pursue my personal interests and projects.

So keep an eye out on my web and social media venues as I work on and finish these efforts and, I'm sure, start new ones. As I like to say... stay tuned, more to follow.....
