    American (or even Texan) Freemasonry is Christian?

    Hmmm, I am of Christian Faith, so it is Christian as far as I am concerned. Now, if there is another who wants to come in, I won't stop him, unless he is Atheist.

    Format and layout

    Scroll down the page, and look on the left side. There will be a small box with Black and Blue, Rotundo, and mine shows Artakus Main. I use the Artakus, as it is MUCH easier on my OLD eyes. The rest of me is still young :-)

    Role call of officers

    Junior Warden, and working my way around. Enjoying my time, and the education.

    Good meeting

    Sorry about the WRONG date. I was still full and sleepy I guess.... I made a change, and hope all will join us DECEMBER 12th.

    Good meeting

    I want to brag a bit about our little Lodge last night (Thursday). It was our Stated Meeting, and we had a GREAT feast!! Those who are close enough to join us missed a FANTASTIC meal! Bro. LJ Linson provided it. His wife deserves the Thanks for preparation, and it was VERY GOOD. We started with...

    Veteran's Day Thanks

    To my Brothers and Comrades, I too appreciate what each has done to insure my family a safe and free home. I have served with many good men in the military, and still do today in this great Fraternity.

    Initiating my Son...

    Bro. Robert, that is an amazing story. I have experienced a 3 generation Degree, and was probably the best (well, next to mine...). As in your case, Granddad was the WM, Dad was SD, and the son was brought before all of us. I hope one day to be a part of something like that, but not sure it will...

    I question the questions.

    You might know that Last Year was the one I chose to come in.... But I enjoyed the challenge, and would have it no other way, at least for myself.

    Dress Attire Revisited

    In one Federal Court District I used to file cases in, ANYONE entering the courtroom had to have a suit jacket, and tie on. read that HAD. There were a variety of sizes of Dark Blue jackets hanging on a coat rack that were provided by the U.S. Government, kind of reminded me of the one's issued...

    White Gloves

    And just when I was about to go All Formal... Actually, I would think that if the Lodge does meet in formal wear (either tux, or suits and ties) they should be allowed to wear the gloves, especially during a degree. That is when it seems we all want to be a little nicer in appearance, as well as...

    Lodge Meals II

    Since I've been in, the WM will usually call me the day before, or the day of, and ask if I have thought of something for a meal. I've learned about this if nothing else :-) I am usually thinking ahead for something a little different, as I had heard some mention how many times we had been...

    Pick Your Brain?

    Here I go again... I think that if one wants a reminder of what the war is costing, both in body count as well as dollars, a few minutes with the evening network news should answer that. Afghanistan was hardly mentioned until "we" decided to start pulling out of Iraq. Now all of a sudden, we...

    Is one lodge better than another?

    Since you are in the Houston area, there may be a Brother on here that is a member of one of the Lodges you are near, and they may be of help. As has been said before, visit with some of the members of those Lodges, and see what you think of the general character. (Hmm that might not be good in...

    Lodge Meals

    We do not have any Stewards, so we all take turns. My bride is a pretty good cook, so I have been fortunate enough to have her cook a couple of meals. She and my youngest daughter really like to help out like that. Youngest is 15, and she may well be an OES candidate in a few years. Last time...

    Is Freemasonry

    I also think it is a Fraternity, but it has become a Lifestyle for me. I still enjoy it as much as when I was learning, and coming up. I am also having a lot of fun with it, and hope that is OK too... I guess if you are of a fraternity that has a great lifestyle, you will have fun.

    Change

    I was Raised June 13, 2008 so from that stand point, I have not been a Brother Mason that long. I have been in Hearne almost 30 years now, and that is half my life. During these 30 years, I have been fortunate to have been surrounded by MANY of the local Mason's. They have each taken to me, and...

    Crossing your legs during Lodge

    Hmmm, I've been tossing the idea of putting a pair of Drag Bars, and Forward Controls on my station. I wouldn't slouch that way, or slide down. I like the Drag Bars on my scoot, as it does keep my old broken back straight on the highway. What about it Wing?

    Age 18?

    I have no problem with 18, but it is a biased opinion... At 19, I was notified by President Nixon, I WOULD be reporting for duty, no questions. I was given training, and sent to places far, far away. I made a trip home to get married, and had to have my Dad sign so I could get the license. I...

    2B1ASK1 should be changed to 2B1ASK5

    I was going to say that he might already know enough Brothers, just did not know they were Masons. Look around for the jewelry, signs etc, and see if they are with people you know. As others have said, sit and talk, or have a meal with them. If they won't take you, WE WILL!!! Well, if you pass...
