Mission Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n This wonderful little piece has been gleaned for the Installation Program of Port Angeles Lodge No 69 F & AM of Washington.<\/p>\n “The Mission of Freemasonry is to promote a way of life that binds like minded men in a world wide brotherhood which transcends all religious, ethnic, social, cultural and educational differences; by teaching the great principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth: and by the outward expression of these through its fellowship, its compassion and its concern: it finds ways in which to serve God, family, country, neighbour and himself. <\/em>“<\/span><\/p>\n Author unknown.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Note who comes last!!!!!!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n An interesting: Parable<\/span><\/p>\n A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird troze and fell to the ground in a large field. While he was lying there a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the trozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out!! He lay there warm and happy, and soon began to sing with joy. A passing cat heard the bird sing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug it out and ate it.<\/p>\n Lesson==Not everyone who drops poop on you is your enemy; Not everyone who gets you out of poop is your friend; When you are in deep poop learn to keep your mouth shut.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Have a Wonderful Day & God Bless you all.<\/p>\n V.W.
