I still say that group activities are a great resource. My lodge really doesn't do just a one on one mentoring program for our EA's. We have work nights where they can learn their work beside other brothers who are keeping sharp on theirs, but it's done as a group. To me, this makes the EA...

I have to agree with the Brethren, be up front and forthright about it. The worst thing you could do at this point is hide it or seem like you are trying to hide it. The fact that you take ownership and responsibility for what you've done speaks highly of your character. Everyone makes...

I don't believe Texas has an official one. You might try getting with the old timers and figuring out one for your lodge to use.

Congrats Brother and good luck!!

I would say follow Brother Tom's advice. He sounds like he's pretty knowledgable about both organizations. The KoC that I know don't seem to hold anything against Masons. I think a lot of it comes down to the person. I know the Catholic Church has long had an axe to grind against Freemasons...

Welcome to the boards Brother!!

It's not too late to run away, just the gown and IV may slow you down a bit.

I think that is why it is left up to the lodge on approving his work to advance versus the DI or CoW. I think the lodge will recognize that he has a learning disability and grade any work he turns in accordingly, especially considering that he has been quite active in the lodge. Perfect...

You'll be in my prayers Brother!

Welcome to the boards Brother!!

I think there are a lot of lodges surviving like that. I remember seeing one guy at our Joint Installation of Officer last June with 4 or 5 different jewels on.

Welcome to the boards!!

I believe he uses the metaphor to say that blaming guns for shootings is the same as blaming the pencil for misspelled words. Now me personally, I think we lack a few things in being responsible gun owners. Believe me, I am not anti-gun considering I have a decent collection at home. I was...

I've never tried Angry Birds or World of Goo. I'm hook on OG and Global War on my iPhone.

Welcome aboard Brother!!

Lebenon Lodge up in Frisco has a pretty good mix and is very active. I don't know if that is too far for you or not. My buddy up there says they are always busy doing something.

You are so making me want an iPad now.

Congrats Brother Owls!! I'm happy for both you and your wife.
