“The genius of Freemasonry is not our Masonic buildings and temples or the trappings of our organizations. It is not our great charities or community activities. It is not our beautiful rituals or their teachings! It is the 'practice of Freemasonry' by the Freemasons. Yet we cannot practice that which we do not know or understand. Thus Masonic education is the foundation for our Fraternity. Brother Carl H. Claudy in The Master's Book says, '.. one thing and only one thing a Masonic Lodge can give its members which they can get nowhere else in the world. That one thing is Masonry.” KnowsWorldGivingBookBeautifulCommunityPracticeOne ThingTeachingBuildingBrotherMastersGeniusActivityMembersOrganizationFoundationCharityTemplesRitualFraternityMasonicLodgesMasonryFreemasonry Author:Carl H.

“The best piece of advice I ever received about being a writer came from my brother Lee. I was just starting out and he told me that if I wanted to have a long career, I had to be versatile, that I shouldn't just think of myself in one way, because there would come a time when maybe that one thing wasn't working out for me - and I'd still want to earn a living as a writer.” IfsThinkingWayWantLongStillsWantedCareersPiecesOne ThingAdviceBrotherStartingWork OutOne WayMy BrotherStarting OutVersatileLong Careers Author:Tod Goldberg
“Every year my mom takes her 5th grade class on an outdoor education trip, and ever since I was born, I came with her. One thing I remember the most was this long, old rickety bridge held by two redwood trees. In order to get to the camp fire, you had to cross it. Each time I went across I made my brother carry me on his shoulders. It freaked me out sooooo much, even a little now when I think about it.” ThinkingYearsLittlesLongMadeTwoRememberOrderBornClassFireOne ThingTreeBrotherMomCrossesMy MomShouldersBridgesMy BrotherGradesCampsRedwoods Author:Zendaya
