    As an Officer, what should my priority be?

    I am no Masonic Genius but I will help if it is scheduled when I can come.

    As an Officer, what should my priority be?

    I wonder how an open house might effect your (and other) lodges. I have thought about this quite a bit lately. Maybe if our GL would schedule a day and announce the date across the state, we might see a turn plus you might see some of the familiar faces "just stopping by".

    Quality Beers?

    You know...St. Arnold's Brewery has a "tour" every Sat. at their brewery here in Houston. For $5 you get a glass and 5 tokens for beer. (bigger glasses are for sale by the way) A couple of us from our lodge have gone a few times with a lunch and had a pretty good time. Maybe if something...

I don't know what to do. Will we have to fail...

    I hope the attachments get on here. Here is a pig I deboned and stuffed with fruit and pork products. It was pretty dang tastey

    Advertising for Masonry?

    We are holding a double edged sword. To not get any petitions or to get too many and not get quality. I think if we watch the gate, follow the letter of the law, more would be better then none. Better to be able to pick and choose then to be wondering when you will shut the doors forever.

    Scottish Rite Master Craftsman Essays

    Essay#4 The most surprising revelation in this section is that it appears that the degrees 19 through 30 focus upon the latter section Master Mason’s obligation, and is more of a description on how to adhere ones self to this section of the obligation once taken; And how the past can teach us...

    Organized Religion

    Organized relgion has evolved; like that game where you whiper something in someone's ear and see what is becomes at the end of the circle. People are starting to realize that the message is not what it started with.

    Neglect of Duties?

    So just to summarize, all lodge secretaries who go to band camp should be fired with the permission of the Grand Master. Gives a whole new meaning to "tooting one's horn"
