You Can Help Your HOME • Masonic Events
On Sunday, April 12th, 2009, Mozart Lodge has been asked to help carry on a decades old tradition of assisting those of our brethren and their families who need help getting to chapel at the Masonic Home. This is that example of charity that extends beyond the grave and can not be bought. Nine in the morning.

Message from the East - April - 2009 • Eastern Light
Dear Brother,
Are you a source of light, or of darkness?
We create our own reality. What we expect from life is what we receive. If we expect and look for the trouble, disagreement, and negativity in situations that is what we are sure to find. If however, we expect and look for the good, cooperative, and positive outcomes in situations that is what we will experience.
Life cannot, and does not always go smoothly. We cannot appreciate the good times and the joys that life brings without the rough times and the sadness that must cross our path on occasion. It is our response to these times that defines who we are.
Brothers, I am guilty of being a source of darkness. That is, in seeing and focusing only on the problems in lodge that I perceive need to be corrected. And in being privy to, and a part of, the occasional personality conflicts that are destined to arise in any group.
Yes, there are problems in every lodge. Yes, we do not always agree with, or get along with each other. This has always been, and always will be. But we cannot be negative about these difficulties. Our negative thoughts are like cancer which spreads and weakens us, and those around us, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
It is easy to fall into the trap of negativity or darkness. But, with effort on our part, and the assistance of the G.A.O.T.U., we can instead choose to open our eyes to the light. My Brothers, that light is Brotherly love. Love is being positive and expecting the best life has to offer. Love is knowing that, although our human frailties will result in disagreement, where there is hope and understanding there can be the peace and harmony to work together towards a common goal.
So for the sake of the Fraternity and your well-being, I urge you to make the commitment to change your life, to become a source of Masonic Light that, like the Sun in the heavens, all the world can see.
By the Rev. Dr. James M. Floyd, Jr.
Fraternally,

Message from the East - March 2009 • Eastern Light
Dear Brother,
I AM FREEMASONRY
I was born in antiquity, in the ancient days when man first dreamed of God. I have been tried through the ages, and found true. The crossroads of the world bear the imprint of my feet, and the cathedrals of all nations mark the skill of my hands. I strive for beauty and symmetry. In my heart is wisdom, strength and courage for those who ask. Upon my alter is the book of Holy Writ and my prayers are to the one Omnipotent God. My sons work and pray together, without rank or discord, in the public mart and in the inter chamber. By signs and symbols I teach the lessons of life and death and the relationship of man with God and of man with man.
My arms are widespread to receive those of lawful age and good report who seek me of their own free will. I will accept them and teach them to use my tools in the building of men, and thereafter, find direction in their own quest for perfection so much desired and so difficult to attain. I lift up the fallen and shelter the sick. I hark to the orphans cry, the widows tears, the path of the old and destitute. I am not church, nor party, nor school, yet my sons bear a full share of responsibility to God, bear liberties, and alert to lurking danger. At the end I commit them as each one undertakes the journey beyond the vale into the glory of everlasting life.
I ponder the sand within the glass and think how small a single life in the eternal universe is. Always have I taught immortality, and even as I raise men from the darkness into the light, I am a way of life.
I AM FREEMASONRY
Fraternally,
Roger D. Bohn Sr.

Message from the East - February 2009 • Eastern Light
Dear Brother,
One of the many duties as Worshipful Master is to spread Masonic Light. With all the Trestleboard’s and information in books along with the internet this piece I would like to share with you.
What is a Mason
A Mason is a Man and A Brother, whose trust is in God.
He meets you on the level and acts on the square.
Truth is his Compass and he is ever Plump.
He has a true grip on all that is Rite.
He is true to his order and whatever his Degree he is Master of himself.
In his Lodge he wears unstained the White Lambskin of innocence.
On his initiation as an Entered Apprentice he travels ever East
Towards the Light of Wisdom.
Until he receives the final, the Divine Password that admits
him into the Ineffable Presence of the Eternal Supreme Grand Master
of the Universe GOD.
