    Audacity of Hope Quote

    I liked this book. He wrote this just after he made it to the ILL senate. It speaks of the first time he met George W Bush and he said something along the lines of "Keep doing what your doing.I like you and the people will like you." I call that irony. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't as good as My...

    Freemasons commercialized and profiting?

    That is not in the law but on the petition. And that is just so the investigators can inquire about it. The words from the Grand Secretary, while at a secretary's school, were only a crime against a child is an automatic no. The rest should be based on case by case and up to the investigators.

    Freemasons commercialized and profiting?

    Yeah you are right Wingnut, heads would roll, but as I have said the topics they cover are amazing. If you get past the language and listen to the message it is powerful. I personally get excited just listening to it. I am not a fan of rap but I appreciate the message. Blake - You are right...

    Freemasons commercialized and profiting?

    You know at first I am like man I don't like it but I can appreciate how different people express themselves in different ways and I happen to know Jay-Z to be a PHA Mason. I assume Rick Ross is as well. I don't look at it as profiting but more expressing how he feels about Masonry. The first...

    Schools Observing Muslim Holidays

    Well that is what I am asking. At what point do we draw the line? This happens just about every year here in Texas when a small school is not allowed to play in the state championship because it falls on a Saturday and there are cities in Texas that, due to religious reasons, totally shut down...

    Schools Observing Muslim Holidays

    Since we had a few speak on the topic yesterday I am curious on how everyone feels on this topic. It seems that more and more populations are becoming a Muslim Majority and schools are having to adapt for that. There are stories of a school in Michigan practicing football at night due to the...

    JW Reading the Law

    I wonder if we shop the printing around? I can get things printed in those volumes in a weeks time by surfing the internet. Why does it take 6 months to get Law Changes?

    911 Words About 'Obama's Mosque

    In comparison you have 79% that believe he is Christian, Don't Know, or Don't Care. I personally would like to see more demographics on this survey like who was polled. Did they live in a red or blue state? What age did you poll on average? I don't care much for "political" polls becuase just by...

    Would you purchase a Texas Freemason License Plate?

    Excuse my ignorance, but why would there need to be legislation on this? Could this not be considered just like a snazzy bolo tie? Why can't GL just pull the trigger on this?

    911 Words About 'Obama's Mosque

    That is kind of what I was wondering Sirus. So I was looking around the net and found plenty of stories covering both sides. The Mayor of NYC Bloomberg: And that seems to be the concesus of what I am seeing. The people in New York all say both can be built and it not be a problem. The...

    911 Words About 'Obama's Mosque

    Actually with a little Google search it looks as if the Port Authority was going to do a bunch for the church that was destroyed but they are not wanting to comply. So looks like no one is stopping the building of the church but the chruch. Again not on the news because that is not what gets...

    911 Words About 'Obama's Mosque

    Wow. You meant to tell me that that attacks on 9/11 were the Muslims vs. Christians? That plane and fire did not draw the line on who died. Muslims died in those attacks just as Christians and people of many faiths. EVERY credible report has OUR President as not being Muslim. His father is and...

    911 Words About 'Obama's Mosque

    I could not agree more with what he is saying. I am fed up that we want to embrace religious freedom as long as it pertains to our religion. If they wanted to build a Catholic Church there not one person would be raising an eyebrow. Why is this any different? Just because a person is Muslim...

    Per Capita for Grand Lodge of Texas

    I will have to respectfully disagree with this. Just because GL comes to us and says we need to raise annual returns should we just allow them to do so. Their recommendation of raising the per capita is based on "all the fat being trimmed" but as I show by posting the 2010 Budget and Expense...

    AF&AM and F&AM Join Forces to do Good Deed

    Brothers, This last weekend some of the Brothers from my Lodge went to a Nursing home with some of the Brothers from Pride of the South No. 324, F&AM. It was a great time. It was an open invitation that was open to anyone so we decided to knock down a few walls and go with them. We showed up...
