    The purpose of DI and DDGM

    Bro. Tidwell, and Lins, Thanks for more great questions and answers. I was not aware of the procedures for the DI, or all of his duties. Now I understand why I've seen ours once since I've been a Mason. We are moving out of a stagnant stage, and have a little movement in our Lodge. That seems to...

    Greetings from Germany

    Welcome Brother Thomas. I think you will find good people and information here, and will enjoy it. Many of us are here like it is Lodge :-) I am sending you a PM also.

    increase in useage

    Bro. Blake, that is pretty much what I have told others when referring to this site. I find it to be a comfortable place to stop by, and hang out for a bit. I can usually find very good information, assistance, and a general goo time here. The Brothers are a very good bunch, and even the...

    Endowed Memberships

    I appreciate the information as well. I have not been able to get answers that really helped me. I had thought that by endowing it was a way for a Brother to be able to assist the Lodge with an income that would always be there whether or not he was able to pay dues. I also figured it was good...

    Barack Obama

    Tried to get SNOPES to check it, guess they were afraid of him, or us as I got no response from them...

    Hippie to the rescue Bro. LJ!!! I just put up a sign in our pasture that says Home Depot!! Come on down, and park in the lot. I'm still waiting, but like fast cars, one will come along sometime during the shift :-) P.S. Had a GREAT time the last couple of days. (NOT at Home Depot though)

    Grand Lodge ----- Lets meet up!

    Been there all day (not Crickets!!), and have had a blast. I think the best part was Bro. Biggs coming in, and then singing Happy Birthday to him. Today (Friday), he is ONLY 106, tomorrow he'll be an OLD 107... If you're there tomorrow, look for the fella who looks just like my Avatar, it's...

    Prompting the Worshipful Master

    Hey Bro. LJ!! I'm getting better... Maybe in a few months, I'll actually have it down for the South. By then, I'll be in the West...

    Does your Lodge have one?

    My Father-in-law and I raise them. We have them available for all Lodges in the area. They can be purchased out right, leased, rented, or a lease to own. We have a selection of Reds that really are the best. Unfortunately for me, our Lodge is upstairs. When it was my time to ride, the Brothers...

    Grand Lodge ----- Lets meet up!

    I plan to be there Friday and Saturday. Will be riding with a couple of others from Hearne, so may not be able to stay over. Friday is an "iffy" day for me, but Saturday for sure if we don't get snowed in :-)

    Masonic Email Lists / Listservs

    I guess those of us in Robertson County use this forum for our communications... At least, I get more info shared with the Brothers on here, than anywhere else other than a meeting, or text message. I am interested in the B/CS group, if it open to those of us across the county line, and in a...

    How 'bout active blood donors?

    I donate any time I find one of the "Blood Mobile's" in town. I am AB+, so it is somewhat of a given I should donate when I can. I tell the story that when I was in the military, I was issued a spigot in my arm, so they could draw off a pint or two when they needed it. All blood is needed...

    "Substantial" Gold Overlay Masonic Ring

    I am much like you, in that I tend to lose things that are not connected from birth, or re-connected after my birth. I work in a situation where a wring, or metal watch band could result in serious injury or death. I don't wear a ring especially while working because of this, and my watch has a...

    Touchy Subject

    I kind of take the military approach, "Don't ask, don't tell"... If nothing is imposed on me, I don't concern myself with a person's preference personally.

    So Mote it Be?

    During my instruction, I was told it meant "So may it be", which can be interpreted as Amen I guess. I have heard Brothers using it at funerals in a church, as well as at regular services at church.

    Avatars

    I have no acceptable reason for mine... Wait a minute, 11 ex-wives, 31 kids, 18 step-kids, and 56 Grandkids.... Maybe that's it :-) Actually, mine shows who I am, and I promise no more.

    Greetings from Franklin, Tx

    Welcome aboard Brother Rene', I am glad we are getting a showing from this area. As I told Bro. LJ, plan to spend some quality time looking through and reading here. LOTS of information, and education available.
