We had the honor of hosting the Grand Lodge of Iowa last night to help us raise our brother to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason.

We had 25 different lodges present at this degree! That is crazy!!

We are so grateful to those brothers who traveled and assisted, and also to the Grand Lodge for assisting with this.

Congratulations to Brother Zac James on receiving his 3rd degree last evening in Nishnabotany Lodge #153 in Sidney.

Happy pie day!

🔺️ Today is March 14 (3.14) and it's Pi Day! The π is the irrational number that describes the relationship between a circle’s circumference and its diameter. No matter the size of the circle, that ratio is always about 3.14.

What makes π fascinating is that its digits go on forever without repeating. Because of this, mathematicians call π a transcendental number, meaning it cannot be neatly expressed using ordinary algebra.

For centuries, mathematicians tried to solve a famous puzzle called “squaring the circle”—drawing a square with exactly the same area as a circle using only a compass and straightedge. In 1882, mathematicians proved that this task is mathematically impossible, because π is transcendental.

Sometimes mathematics doesn’t just give answers, it tells us which questions cannot have one.

We had the honor of passing brothers Zac James and Josh High to the Fellowcraft degree last night. We were excited to see them continue on their journey!

We are thankful to the brethren who traveled so far to assist with the degree work! Thanks to RWB Donnie Drennen for taking picture, and a big thanks to all the brothers involved. We even had some come over from the Nebraska City lodge!

We will be doing 3rd degree work for Br. Zac James on March 26th. If you are able to join, we would love to have you!
