Message from the Worshipful Master

Dear Brothers of Pitman Masonic Lodge,

The Group of Frogs

As a group of frogs was traveling through the woods, two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them. However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded to try and jump out of the pit. Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit was still saying that they should just give up, that they will never make it out.

Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up, falling down to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

Moral of the story: People's words can have a big effect on other's lives. Think about what you say before it comes out of your mouth. It might just be the difference between life and death or winning or losing. Brethren, Pitman Lodge it jumping as hard as it can. We want to succeed! We have raised a brother to the degree of MM. We have petition in committee to be returned. We will vote on in Oct. Now does that sound like a lodge that has a great future? You bet that does!

Get off the couch and come join us. We need a bigger team, we need you! I'm pretty darned sure you need us.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the sun and the rain.

Remember my brothers , God loves you and so do I.

Fraternally yours,

Joseph Dinovi
