    Feeling offended

    Dogmatism, like ignorance, bigotry, and hatred is a terrible thing to waste! It is LOST, when YOU choose to IGNORE it! This is not easy. Nothing worthwhile is easy. This you know. But thank the GAOTU that we hold sway over this burden of all mankind each time we come face to face with it...

    Daylight lodges, what do you think?

    I think they are necessary. I am currently Worshipful Master of Billy W. Tinsley Lodged No. 1458 AF & AM of The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas here on the north side of Houston. Our lodge was named after the only sitting Grand Master of the GLoTx who died in the Grand East. We have 62...

    It's that time of year.

    Yeah ... it is! We wait so long for the season to show up. The first three or four weeks go slow enough. Then the conference schedules and then ... it's all over. There was a time when I jumped a plane every year and headed for someplace warm to get a sunburn and GET OVER IT. College...

    Yes. Brother it was. Go back to the Moderns and Antients. Great pains were taken, over nearly a four-year period, to streamline the floor and esoteric work between the two bodies. Then, groups were set up (much like modern committees on work) to bring uniformity to the lodges under the UGLE...

    Crickets! Brother Wild Bill ... did you grace the outdoor balcony this year? That would have been hard core for sure. But worthy of the Wild Man of Wharton!

    Social anxiety

    Congratulations brother! Think of the result of the vote just taken. We don't give up on each other. Go, face and conquer your fears, make that step with the confidence that your fellow masons are in lock step behind you. You can't miss. Be sure to come back after your year in the EAST...

    Social anxiety

    Physically: Take deep breaths, hold them, release them slowly. Turn your hands upward, touch the fingertips and feel the tension flow upward. During quiet times learn you part WELL. Go over it and over it. Now relax. Loosen your body and just "say it." Don't recite it! Just "say it."...
