Today was our Lodge's coffee morning, and I took my petitioning friend with me so he could meet some of my Masonic brothers. He had a great time, and I think he got along well with them, which makes me happy. I think he'll make an excellent Mason. Aside from that, things have continued to be very busy with the rest of my life. Valkyrie and I are almost done planning our wedding and everything is coming together nicely.

I have a few good links to share today. The first is a page sent to me by Bro. Marv Liss, Pietre-Stones Review of Freemasonry (if you don't have Java enabled you'll want to start here instead). I haven't spent a lot of time exploring this site but I do know that it contains a great collection of Masonic essays and articles. Thanks, Bro. Marv!

I also found a great site on Bro. Paul M. Bessel's site containing several articles regarding the Shrine & Freemasonry. These are good reading.
