    Charity -- A dilemma

    I cannot recall when was the last time I gave money away to strangers or homeless. I do remember donating blood regularly, donating canned goods and lots and lots of clothes in great condition to a church in town. I think that makes me feel accomplished, as if I did my bit.

    New Master Mason

    Congratulations, I'd suggest more light in Masonry by looking into the appendant bodies in the future, I like to tell other masters about the Scottish Rite. Whatever you choose, I'm sure you will enjoy.

    Que viva Benito Juarez! While in school, Juarez was always spoken highly of, also one of the reasons I sought membership in Freemasonry. Thank you for this article brother.

    Your Ring

    I remember once at a pawn shop, trying on a Masonic ring and being questioned/corrected by the profane individual on the other side of the glass: "Are you a Mason?" "You're wearing it the wrong way, I was told the proper way to wear it by a 32nd degree Mason!" - I chuckled and said: "Ok...

    Chambers of Reflection

    I have been told about the chambers of relfection by a brother whom I keep in touch with from my native Mexico City. He describes a room with a very intense mood to it. Must be quite an interesting experience.

    Students Kicked Off Campus for Wearing American Flag Tees

    I don't even celebrate 5 de Mayo, it is not an American holiday and it certainly isn't a huge deal down in Mexico, unless you live in the state of Puebla. 5 de Mayo in this country is just a marketing strategy.

    Illegal immigrants plan to leave over Ariz. law

    Bottom line is, if you live in Arizona and look brown, speak Spanish or have an accent, you will be harassed by the authority. My skin isn't white, that's for sure, I speak Spanish and my accent does come out with certain words. My problem is the SB1070 as a reason to legally harass our people...

    Firefighting and brotherhood

    A brother I know and I used to work with who happens to be a volunteer told me he was brought into the order when he inquired about it with his fellow firefighters. Very nice to see brotherhood outside the lodge.

    I'm 18, I swear!

    That show is both amusing and disturbing. Someone should do a sound board of all of Chris Hansen's sentences while reading off the perv's chat logs! Ha!

    Underwater River in Mexico

    Must be quite a sight once you're down there. There are many places yet to be discovered by man, I believe.

    Illegal immigrants plan to leave over Ariz. law

    I am an immigrant. I've lived in this country since I was a child. I pay my taxes every year, hold a very rewarding job and nobody in my family has a criminal background. I understand not everyone coming to this country has the same mind set that other families have. I have said it before, a...

    How to wear the masonic apron?

    Texas dress code for lodge are somewhat, laid back. Such as slacks and a dress shirt or jeans and a polo. Opposed to other jurisdictions (I had the chance to meet brothers from Vegas 32 in las Vegas and Indian Springs 48 for a FC degree a couple of weeks ago while I was in NV, these brothers...

    Brother Aldrin with a Right Hook!

    Priceless! As much as the reporter wants to voice his opinion, it is never right to confront someone in this manner. He had it coming!

    WV GL withdraws recognition of OH GL

    Sounds like very petty drama. It's an embarrassing predicament for the order.
