When the current description of a "regulation" Past Master's apron was written, as it appears in Article 273 of our Grand Lodge Law, it specifically did not outlaw the Past Masters' aprons that were still in use. The pertinent part of the article reads: "In addition to using the Past Master's...
Thanks, Brother. I stand corrected. I appreciate all the new education I can get. I don't like making the same mistake twice.

My question is now, what year was that edict in force?:001_unsure: I know that, unless otherwise stated, all edicts are null and void at the end of the current GM term, but would this one ruffle feathers? I, too, have seen various PMs with some very nice aprons on in lodge for initiations and...
My best friend was initiated at Glen Rose in September of 2011 when Bro. Nichols was WM. He is a pipeliner and has had a hard time getting someone to get with him on his instruction, so he is still an EA. Right now he is working of down in Bro. Bowden's neighborhood, between Victoria and Goliad...
Bro. Bennylee, I just looked on Mapquest to see where you hail from and now I see why you might want to affiliate with Granbury.

I was going to comment before I read all the way down, but, now I think I will anyway. TeeHee. I was going to say, no farther apart than Glen Rose and Granbury are, you should be able to just jump in the pick up and run over to Glen Rose and talk to Bro. Nichols(sp?), but since you already have...
I don't like it. I have not been able to find one thing except "The New eFace of the Grand Lodge of Texas" and "Masonic License Plates" and a few posted events. When I go looking for a form or something, I can't find squat! I DON'T LIKE IT!

Neither have I joined SR, or any other appendent, for that matter. I am going to wait until I am a PM until I branch out from the Blue Lodge. I feel that I may have a better insight into Masonry by that time and I should appreciate the other degrees more.

I went to the event in Midland on March 9th, so I won't be able to make this one, but it should be pretty close to the same program. If so, you should like the contents. I thought it was very insightful and it also made me rethink a few things. Actually, just think about them. Very interensting...
Thanks Bro. Queen. I tried the link again and got through. I downloaded the application and saved it. As soon as I come up with the C-note I plan on joining. Again, thanks.

Thanks Bro. Hatley. But I encountered a problem when I tried that website. I got the message "Page could not be found." from my search engine. Surely the page is still a good one. Would the GLoTx know of another method of contacting them, I wonder? Oh, excuse me, just thinking aloud with my...
My Brothers:
I have had a burning question for the last few months. It is, "How do I join/affiliate with the Tranquility Lodge?" I have heard some about it and would like to know more, but I don't even know where to look for information. I feel certain that there are members here on this site...
Bro. dfreybur; As far as the hat goes, in Texas, in as many Lodges as I have visited, it seems that the Western or Cowboy hat is the norm. I suppose the WM would decide if he liked a Fedora or something else better, but that is what I have seen. Even our MW Grand Master wears a cowboy hat.

Bro. Bill_Lins77488; That article still stands as revised. I just looked it up. I normally keep my nose in the Law Book as I am JW in my affiliate Lodge and I am all the time being asked things. I have only been a MM since May of 2011, but, I have tried to become as knowledgable as I could in so...
Bother Mac,
If you are looking for a White on White PM apron, I saw on just the other day on a website that I use quite often. www.masonicshop.com is the site. I don't know if you are familiar with it, but most of the stuff is made by Masons. The business is owned and operated by a Mason. I...
Yeah, some of them have a problem with Freemasonry. They associate it with the "Illuminati" and "Devil worship" and all kinds of stupid stuff just because we keep our rituals to ourselves. And those same "haters", as you called them, are probably all anti-gun and probably would not know which...
I have worn my ring every day since it was presented to me at my Raising by my younger brother who is a Brother, except when I had to have the darn thing sized because it was cutting off the circulation in my finger. I also wear a pin on my cap at work and have a Texas Mason concho on my belt...
I have not gone through the SR rituals yet, so, am I prohibited from reading these books?

I had a chance to see the video on YouTube. I thought you put it there.

There is a Lodge in Canyon Lake. It is the Canyon Lake Lodge #1425. Address is 187 Madrona Dr. Canyon Lake, TX. I hope that gets you where you want to be. My mentor/instructor is a PM from that lodge.
