Just to let you all know I am back and will try to catch up on lost time.
I have had a busy 3 weeks with my family here.
I have been working from 7.00 am until 7.00pm stone cladding the exterior of our Temple (really an operative Mason now!). With 3 meetings and other LOIs I have not had far to travel. By the time I get home to see the family I have not had much free time trying to shuffle the time spent between working, Lodge and family visits. The family have gone home know but still have about 2 weeks work remaining on the stone cladding.
I am trying to plan my Masonic journey and keep it within the boundaries of my abilities for time and commitment.
I am now charity steward in one of the Mark Lodges and RA Chapter.
I do not want to drop out of offices but it looks on paper as I will be WM in Mark in 2009, WM in Craft in 2010 and WM again in the other Mark Lodge in 2011.
I will not be taking office in Chapter and stepping out of office in one of my Craft Lodges.
Look forward to getting back to normal with the posts soon.
Good to be back!
