General Grand Council, Crypitc Masons International

First of all, I am a permanent member of the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International by virtue of my service as Most Illustrious Grand Master of the Royal and Select Masons in Michigan. One of the Primary reasons I went out to Buffalo New York was to support MPGGM George Sellars, who was on track to be presiding today as the MP General Grand Master.  George Passed away in February to the ravages of cancer.  We fulfilled his plans. The Grand Lodge and Grand Council of Michigan were present in numbers to honor George, support his widow Brenda, and their daughter Barb was here also.  A very nice memorial service was held for George, and also Kenny Chandler who was GG Treasurer.

Palsms 29:18 will tell you that "where there is no vision, the people will perish".  I will go one step further, and tell you that where the people do not follow the vision of their leader, the organization is doomed to perish.
I will stop right there, and simply say that I was somewhat dismayed with the proceedings of the General Grand Council. The advanced proceedings were filled with committees who stopped functioning after the death of MPGGM Sellars. They actually said so in their reports. My heart was heavy that the elected leadership has not taken the vision and seen the future.  Just another title. Another 3 years to complete.
My heart is sad for this group.  They are capable of soooo much more. Some will try, but without the team functioning in unison, it will be for naught. Where is their Moses. Where is their George......
