Scottish Rite

I have filed my petition with the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Valley of Dayton, Ohio. The Fall reunion is on two weekends this year. I will be a part of the Fall Reunion Class # 259 Ill. John William McNaughton, 33°, Class November 7 & 14, 2009. this reunion will include a visit from
John William McNaughton, Sovereign Grand Commander on November 14, 2009.
McNaughton had been serving as Grand Lieutenant Commander since August. More on him in the Scottish Rite News valley of Dayton.
I was approached concerning my previous interest in the York Rite. However, I chose to become a Scottish Rite mason to join the ranks of my good friends Ken and Dick who have each been a great help to me in my search for Masonic Light as well as my cousin John Carpenter who has allowed his own light to shine on me since I was a child. I am excited to be exposed to the lessons that are to be learned from the Dramas.

I recently saw this...

Proverbs 8:27
When he prepared the heavens, I was there, when he set a compass upon the face of the depth.

A visit to my local bretheren and we come back to light.

I have recently began PhD studies at Ohio university. I am commuting back and forth from Dayton To athens once a week with the family back in Dayton still selling the house. I stopped in to the local lodge for their first stated meeting since going dark. It was a great time. Although it was their stated, the brtheren were out in a good company and very welcoming. The Master invited me to partake in all the lodge has to offer and even participate int he lodge ritual work if I felt so inclined. (He is doing all the lectures and alot of the charges right now as they are looking for others to help.) I was welcomed by EACH and I do mean EACH of the bretheren there that night with the exceptions of three new guys who came in on the one-day class and were a bit nervous I think, to even be there.
The lodge was closed and we went to refreshment which was a very welcome late dinner for this starving student.

Thank you bretheren, I will be there for the EA on the 22nd!

I am also excited to attend my Mother lodge's first meeting this fall tomorrow evening. We will also be having a MM degree on the 25th. I have a full masonic calendar to look forward to this month!
