It would appear that Mother Nature is having a lot of fun with us these days. In Upper Peninsula the temperature has not rose above freezing enough for me to turn the water back on for the athletic field. This morning when I was repairing the broken valves and back flow preventer, the water was literally freezing within minutes, So I was unable to finish the task at hand.
In our lodges, how often do we try new things, attempt to revive successful programs from the past, or simply create a positive atmosphere within our walls, only to find that the water is still frozen !
Today would be a good day to thaw the feelings we have on the craft, to attempt to repair the broken valves, in this case the broken attitudes, and move forward with a positive relentless action, making your lives align in an atmosphere that a young man will desire to associate with. We can all start by being civil to one another, by reading the laws and constitution of our organization, And living by the excellent precepts which are contained therein.
One would only need to listen to the dialogue of another who is not familiar with the excellent precepts of our fraternity, to allow the waters of our craft to freeze over frequently.
Let us not be guilty of doing this, but being of supportive nature, open-minded, and willing to complete every task that may be assigned to us what's a cheerful disposition!
