We have the pleasure and honor of having the North Dakota Most Worshipful Grand Master David Bickel join us and share with us his vision of what Freemasonry is, his goals for his time as Grand Master, and some of his personal thoughts and feelings of Freemasonry.

When the pressures of recession

Make us concentrate on greed,

Take heed, a worthy Mason

Cares about another's needs;

Don't let pressures of the moment

Make your obligation sway,

Stop and help a fallen brother

Or another by the way;

What you give is like a bubble

Whenever you assist,

What it costs in time and trouble

Is, soon after, never missed;

Brother, bear that obligation

You accepted on your knee,

It's in direct relation

To your own security;

Never hesitate, my brother

Square your actions now and say,

"I'll remember I'm a Mason,

"And behave like that today;"

"With regard to human kindness

And the 'Golden Rule', I pray,

I'll remember I'm a Mason...

And behave like that today."
