We had our Christmas Dinner, and several family members of each Brother attended. We have had a request for a petition from one son, and one son-in-law since that night. The son came to spend an evening with his dad our last Stated Meeting, brought a friend, they had the meal with us, and while...

My degree was done with the walk. I found it interesting, and informative. At that point, I had made it through the EA initiation, and lived. I had made it through the work, and lived. I decided I was indeed in good hands from then on, and was able to relax a little, and enjoy what was being...

This is what I like and enjoy about Masonry, and as I have said before, I asked to be made a part of an Ancient Brotherhood, based on the values of those before us, and I hope I can pass some of these values along. Had I wanted something modern, there are many other things I could be a part of.

With the latest offering from the court, this should be easy to do. Now, if a company, or a very rich individual wants someone in office, they can buy it for the person of choice... No longer will we have to wonder who voted someone in office, all we'll need to do is look at the financial...

I went to Lodge in Franklin one night, and we lost power just before we started. The entire meeting was done by candle light. It was so neat. I would love to see a night when we all were able to have a meeting done by candle light only. We use the S%C bulbs, and need to replace one. The filament...

Imported produce. A lot of it around the country now, never saw much before. many of the cheapo grocery stores and "dollar stores" have produce from china, and similar countries in them. They have a lot of coloring to them, and just don't have a good appearance to them. I've had people show me...

I know!! I know!!! I know!!! But to prevent another rant and rave project, I won't mention the name(s). here. Hey, did anyone see the press conference this morning with Obama? Gonna get some aid for the folks in Haiti.

As some here know, and many may not, my wife Karen, and I are Amateur (Ham) Radio Operators. We are monitoring radio traffic as it comes out of the stricken area. If anyone here has a need, or knows of someone who has the need to pass any information, try all other means first, and then make...

Prayers from my family. For some reason, this seems to hit a little harder, perhaps because it is closer to home... We (wife and I) are Ham Operators, and waiting to start assisting with radio traffic as it comes through. If anyone needs information, or to pass something, and can't through other...

I seem to have misunderstood something I read a while back I guess (as usual). I was sure I read where the Texas PHA had asked the GLOT for "Mutual Recognition" and it was accepted.. Apparently it was something else. I think it should be OK to recognize each other as Brothers, I have stated that...

Speaking of Latin America, how are they doing with the Cocaine Projects?? Guess the CIA is still funding the efforts? Word had it the H my buds used in V.N was brought in by them too...

I gotta get a new chair and table in here... Drape has argued the legs off of them, and I've got a couple of fence posts that are leaning...

My wife and daughter LOVE them!!! My brother sent them each one each for Wal Mart for Christmas, and it was the best thing they got. I almost took back the gifts I got them, and got gift cards. We were at a Fire Dept. function for those who ride motorcycles. When Karen found out they were giving...

It was done at my raising by Bro. Howard Vann. I was about in tears when he finished! He can move you with just about anything he does, but this is my favorite. I hope some day to be able to present it, and do it with all dignity it deserves.

Short and sweet, I agree... :-)

I am in middle class, because that is where I am happy. I have everything paid for, have money left over each payday after paying bills, and have a 15 year old daughter still at home. My wants are few, and my needs are less. I learned a long time ago, the more you have, the more who want to take...

Guess I'm middle class then. But, when you look at statistics, I'm definitely NOT alone. Where do each of you fit???

Looks like another ongoing battle that NO ONE will win. Politicians are going to be blasted either way they go with their votes, the PEOPLE who speak out will be wrong, and those who sit and wait, will LOSE biggest. It's not going to be a "winnable" deal. It needs to be scrapped, and revert to...

There is a war on our doorstep, two-fold, but it is NOT the war in which most are referring to. This war is one that Brother LJ, myself, and many others have been engaged in for quite some time. Some will laugh, and say it really isn't a war, and continue to speak out against it, until it...

Like I said, it can work, but there are too many extra "professionals" standing with their hand out. These funds need to be put into an interest bearing account(s), and a moratorium put in effect for a period of time to allow this to accumalate some extra funds. With what I am reading and...
