A nice little nugget of knowledge and lessons.
A7V - I think we did but as with all forums it is nice to bring up older buried posts to help new members.
The Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Dallas was featured on WFAA channel 8 News in DFW.

It is a great article about the prosthetics they make for children. Great job there guys.
Looks like you have opened the worm hole here Brother Benjamin.
A little history on this topic and I would like clarification from a knowledgeable Brother. When talking to my PHA Brothers, if a man is wearing a S&C ring or has an emblem on their car another Brother could challenge the...
This is something that I constantly hear incorrectly defined and I came accross this definition that is pretty simple and easy to understand.
TYPES OF FREEMASON LODGES
What is a "Regular" Masonic Lodge?
Regularity is the process by which individual Grand lodges recognize one another...
Then join the Kiwanians. This Fraternity is not for everyone but we do have to keep the ritual and the teachings alive. I am not saying everyone needs to be "A" certified but we have to pass this on to other generations. I am not for opening the doors for every swinging Richard can get in the...
Brother Benjamin, I have thought about this all weekend. I personally could not defend my light. I have heard stories from some of my PHA Brothers when they talk to about "defending" the light. I would love to know what the guys know that I have talked to. I personally feel this type of lessons...
I think it is a pride thing Bill. Even though the Grand West did away with it each year at Fort Worth 148/Tarrant 942 we have have our 3 Sr. Officers for the upcoming year certified in all 4. It is not a "Law" but it is "Tradition" now. We even have a small requirement that you must have...
The only problem with the idea of a resolution is, if they were so against it this year it would talk a little buzzing to get them to change. I can see where we are just coming over the crest of change and once it happens so much legislation will be soon to follow. I am all for legislation though.
Based on the direction of the post I would like to move the post to the "Spirituality" section of the forum. I will however leave a permanent redirect in the Jurisprudence section.
One way or the other the debate on this is going to be a good one. I really enjoy seeing that men that feel so strongly come together debate their side and when the decision is made you can walk up and say good argument.
I feel Masonry is cheap in Texas and we do need to raise our per capita...
The Lodge and Lodges are sometimes much less than I thought. By that I mean some of the members and leaders. It has taken me a while to understand the Mason is NOT Masonry. Having said that the craft is so much more than I think I could EVER be imagined. The lessons and teachings are endless...
I couldn't take that meeting. It has literally caused me to change my blood pressure medicine. The older guys were arguing just to argue. Their reason was we didn't have any money. This of course after we discussed our $240,000 investments fund but couldn't afford $200 worth of aprons. It was a...
How about this for an idea. Lets design DDGM aprons that get handed down from person to person. Much like the Master's jewel that the Brother in Massachusetts. If there truly is a budget issue we really need to take a step in the right direction. I think at this point everything should be looked...
I am not really I understand that logic. I don't deny it but also do not understand it.
We have various "unofficial" parts of our ceremonies that the Grand Lodge does not maintian. One that comes to mind first is the Bible Presentation. I personally have seen 3 versions in this jurisdiction...
