    Where were you?

    I was in bed asleep. (I worked nights) My roomate came running in saying "America is being attacked" I responded "No way thats not possible" and blew it off. Then he reached over and flipped on my TV to show the second plane hit and I didn't know what to do. It is an image I will always remember.

    Should the history channel have done a show on freemasons.

    I am all for it. The more these things come out the more traffic my Lodge site gets. We have so many people join and stay when these air because after watching they get curious and begin to search the net on Masonry. We just need to be ready to answer when the knock on the door happens. The...

    suspension of non payment of dues what happens

    One of the weakest parts of man is EGO and if a man has too much pride to ask a Brother for help then what has been learned in the teachings? The problem is we choose not to get close to our Brothers and it is a friendship. The love I have for my Brothers is hard to describe and there is no...

    suspension of non payment of dues what happens

    They have to ask to receive and deemed worthy. We have guys at a lodge I am a member of that ask for help at the last minute and I work with them at Lockheed making $25/hr +. I am all with helping but not everyone that asks is automatic. It needs to be handled with a case by case basis. We are...

    Inactive lodge information...

    Actually every year there is a Constituent Lodges of Texas that is sent out to all the Lodges. You can purchase this fairly cheap from your Lodge Secretary or contact GL directly. In the back is a list of every lodge that has gone dark or merged. It gives years and more. A good resource to have...

    What issues are important to you?

    I chose education because I think with an improvement and increase in education you can solve many of the other issues. Our declining membership is due to generations becoming complacent and if a member was not intrested or engaged no big deal we had others to take his place. More people are...

    What issues are important to you?

    1. It will soon come up again that PHA does want visitation. I know this for a fact and the original compact had visitation but were instructed to remove it by the Fraternal Relations Committee. We didn't think recognition would pass OUR membership had visitation been there. 2. You are...

    What issues are important to you?

    This is a tough one to answer. If I can only choose one I will have to think about it as well since all are very important indeed.

    My Enamel On my Ring Is Gone .. Can You Help?

    This is not something that is widely done from what I see on the net. Or at least not advertised on the web. I found a couple of sites with this http://heywoodenamels.com/main/enamel_jewellery_jewelry_repair_restoration_01.html being the best I think. However it is in Austrailia. I bet if you...

    I just fell in love with that Lodge room. That is so awesome. Thanks Ashton, now I have added something to the Bucket List.

    Membership Statistics

    I partially agree with this. I do think that Lodges should be focused on their own membership woes and Grand Lodge should not interfere with that, but I do think it is important that the Grand Lodge offer guidance and assistance should a Lodge need some. I think it should be focused on creating...
