Mystic Tie Lodge #74

08/22/2026

As Lucy and I were watching the sun rise over Lake Augusta this morning I was reminded once again of how God cares for us. I was mentally preparing to say goodbye to a friend and mentor this afternoon and somehow God used that moment to let me know that it will be alright. Brother Ron is in the care and presence of the Grand Architect of the Universe. He is likely marking lines and laying out blocks on the celestial Lodge floor, enjoying knees that no longer hurt, preparing to help and teach those that follow. That is the way he lived his life here on Earth, always willing to give of his time, wisdom and knowledge to anyone who asked.

I will miss him but God let me know that it will be alright.
