A couple weeks ago I purchased last year’s back issues of Masonic Magazine.

They just came in this morning. I’m sitting here just like a kid with a new toy, but I don’t have time to read them just yet. I’ll be interested in seeing the progression from the first issue to the fourth, and how the magazine has matured.

The publisher, Stephen Dafoe, is a Masonic scholar I admire very much, and he’s the reason I really started seeking out my own path in Masonry. Almost three years after first being introduced to his work at thelodgeroom.com, I find I differ with his opinion on a few issues. But without his guidance and the work that he did in educating new masons online, I wouldn’t have even had the chance to form these opinions until much later in my masonic career.

I’ll let you know when I get to the good parts!
