NEVER FOUND THE TIME

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die

I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time."

MESSAGES FROM MY MAILBOX (&our Cell Phone)...

First the cell phone ..

Saturday evening while we were at my brother's, my cell phone rang out of the clear blue! It was RWB Doug Tucker with the news that MW Chuck McQuery had been taken to the hospital with a heart attack! I am happy to report that he is home this evening (Monday) so has apparently responded well to the procedures which were performed. I am certain that he appreciates our prayers ... and cards!Address:19204 Bing Road, Lynnwood, 98036.

Then Sunday morning when we were traveling home from Clarkston, our cellphone rang again and it was Mary Callen. She reported that they were home! Last we knew they were on a trip southwest ... but guess they got as far as Boise one night, checked into a hostel, but apparently when PGP Chuck woke up the next morning, he had pneumonia AGAIN. He was hospitalized until Saturday, when they grabbed a plane back to Spokane! I am sure that he would appreciate your prayers, too ... pluscards:5175 Swenson RD, Deer Park 99006.

Now I am turning my phone off ....

And now the messages in my INBOX!

Prayers needed ... MW Chuck McQuery ...

Brethren,

(1/27)RWB Doug Tucker just notified me that MW Chuck McQuery is at the Overlake Hospital recovering from a heart Attack he suffered from last night. The doctors had performed some additional steps for his speedy recovery that will make MW Chuck stay extra few days in the recovery room. He is expected to be released sometime Tuesday.

Let us all include him in our prayers that he may ease on his way to recuperation. May Diane and the rest of Chuck’s loved ones have peace in their mind as they await MW Chuck’s full recovery.

Fraternally,

**RWG. Santy Lascano, Junior Grand Warden, MW Grand Lodge of Washington, F&AM

Sadness in Tennessee ...

It has just been made to my ear- that our Grand Secretary Sister Jean Vincent has a twin sister and she has passed away either today or yesterday. I don't know any details but wanted to pass this along as many of you know Sister Jean and have for many years as she has been the one you see if you are of the GRAND category and need your credentials for our Grand Chapter. She is also a PGM of Tennessee. It must be hard for a TWIN to loose part of yourself when one passes- (I'm not making sense am I ?) Anyway please keep her in your prayers I feel she will need them more than ever. Her husband, who is a Past Grand Master of the State of TN. has not been in good health these last few years and Jean almost lost him. He has made remarkable progress and it is due to her care.

Her address is
Jean Vincent, PGM
Grand Secretary
1007 Hyndsver Rd.
Martin, TN38237
Thank you for caring

Prayers needed...

Hi Connie,

Could you please put this in the “Stars of Washington”? Thanks.

My sister, Irene Laughlin, fell on Monday and broke her left hip. They are trying to get her blood thick enough to operate (she was on blood thinner) as well as keeping an eye on her congestive heart failure and other health issues. Irene is Worthy Matron of Afton Chapter in Marysville. Please keep her in your prayers. Cards can be sent to her home at4713 – 124thPl. NE,Marysville,WA98271

**Marian Smith, PM

PS(1/25)Hieveryone,

Irene finally had surgery late last night and is doing well. Hooray!! The doctor said she got a “good fix” on it. Irene called Mom this morning and even sang her “Happy Birthday” (today is her 87th birthday) so she must be feeling good. Now if we can just get her home!! I will be taking Mom and Dad up to see Irene this morning and if anything changes I will let you all know. Thanks to everyone for their prayers, well wishes and their concern. The whole family truly appreciates it.

**Marian Smith

Blue Slipper Pin...

Dear Connie,

While in Nova Scotia at an RV park we met the master of the local lodge. He presented Buck with the pin of his lodge and then turned to me and with great sincerity and presentation presented me with a "Blue Slipper" pin. It is beautiful and to say the least I was truly impressed. The verse on card says:

"The "Blue Slipper" pin is a symbol whereby a Mason may recognize a lady who has a Masonic Connection. This will allow masons to extend all courtesies to her and ensure no harm comes to her."

I will be happy to show it off when I get home. Ladies you will all want one. I wear mine with pride.

**Joy Lough, PGM

And speaking of the Blue Slipper pin ... on an OES chat email group, it was brought to our attention that maybe some Grand Lodge Jurisdictions would frown on ladies wearing a pin with a Square & Compass on it. So ... here is what MWB Wayne Smith, Grand Master of Masons in Washington related when asked the question:

“Yes, Ladies may wear the Blue Slipper pin or any other pin with the Square and Compasses as in the GL of Washington there are no restrictions on who may wear the Square and Compasses.” Thanks Brother Wayne!

Crocheting?

While I have your attention, I have found a valuable website for all you crafty people out there! It has every crochet pattern imaginable. It is simply called www.crochetpatterncentral.com. Greatsite for small (or large) craft table, raffle, or gift items.

Great news...

In the February/March issue of Country Woman magazine on page 43 is a great article about Tuckerton Chapter #54, New Jersey. They made 75 heart shaped pillows to be donated to people after surgery at Deborah Heart and Lung center- these pillows went under their seat belts on the way home to protect their stitches. Way to go Tuckerton!! WE all know how great we are but its such a treat to see it in a national magazine!
** Marie Oneil PM, Gateway # 3, Vallejo, CAGGC

I subscribe to that magazine so am going to check out the article. But what great publicity... showing us doing good unto all!

Update on PGM Shirley Gabrielson -

Dear Martha,

Thank you so much for asking. She is still at Hillside Manor;472023rd Ave; Missoula, MT, now in room # 52. She has regained her cognitive abilities nearly 100%, GO MOM! Physically, things are coming along slowly – she is still in a wheelchair and having a hard time regaining her strength to move about without it. She complains about being lonely. Any visit, card, phone call406-251-5100, AND NOW EMAIL:) is greatly appreciated. To send an email just put in the subject line: Attn Shirley Gabrielson and send to jparge@thegoodmangroup.comand they will make certain she receives it. We just set email up today.:) I’m excited too for her to hear from more of all of you!

As far as when she will be going home, well, that is yet to be determined. She has a ways to go before independent living is a possibility. Assisted living may be a possibility if she gets just a tad bit more mobile. Please keep praying!

CANDLEMAS

GROUNDHOG DAY

If Candlemas Day bring snow and rain

Winter is gone, and won’t come again.

If Candlemas Day be clear and bright

Winter will have another flight!

It is no accident that GROUNDHOG DAY and CANDLEMAS are celebrated together, for both signify the triumph of light over darkness, spring over winter. Candlemas, a Christian feast day that got its name from the candlelit processions that accompanied it, was an overlay on older celebrations marking the astronomical midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.

Groundhog Day, a Germanic holiday that uses a furry prognosticator to fore tell the coming of spring, depends on the presence (or not) of sunshine for its forecast.

Thus the day is known for weather rhymes, such as ‘Half your wood and half your hay, Should be gone and be left on Candlemas Day,’ a reference to the halfway point of wintry weather.
