I humbly extend my sincere congratulations to each of you on your recent Councils of Deliberation. Your leadership, diligence, and commitment to excellence were clearly reflected productively and harmoniously in how your works were conducted. I also wish to express my heartfelt appreciation for the continued support you offer one another across the Orients. I encourage you to remain steadfast in your efforts to visit, communicate, and collaborate, as the strength of our institution is built upon the unity of its leaders. As we move forward, I urge each Orient to remain attentive and fully engaged with its membership. In
doing so, we reinforce our collective commitment to “ Enhancing the Scottish Rite Experience ” in the Northern Jurisdiction. Ensuring that our members are well-supported, informed, and aligned with our shared mission, will fortify the continued growth and stability of our Order. Additionally, allow me to congratulate you once again on the new members who joined the United Supreme Council. Their inclusion stands as a testament to your dedication and the positive work being done within each Orient. May we continue to advance our great mission in unity, integrity, and steadfast purpose.

The healthy organization is characterized more by its discernment than by its decisions. (Luke 12:54-57) The healthy organization is characterized more by its Godly priorities than by its human popularity. (Luke 11:43, 12: 49-53) The healthy organization is characterized more by PRAYER than by its performance. (Luke 11:1-4) As we prepare for the winter let us pray that God will keep us safe. Let us do all we can to be loving to one another and pray for all our Sisters and Brothers. Pray especially for our Sovereign Grand Commander, and our Leadership team. Let me close with these thoughts:

Every Organization that we are a member of has some principles that it works by. In our wonderful Masonic Organization we have principles that we live by. According to Webster ’ s, “ Principle ” is defined as:
• A comprehensive and fundamental law, doctrine or assumption. • A rule or code of conduct.
• Watch your thoughts; they become words
• Watch your words; they become actions
In this article I would like to share some Healthy Principles that can keep our Organization strong, vibrant and seen by the community as positive. The healthy organization is characterized more by the quality of its spirit than the quantity of its success.

• Watch your actions; they become habits
