Thanks brother! Haven't watched that one since college days so I took the two hours to review it last night. Forgot some of the zingers and just how well produced this film was for the times. Perhaps TCM will pick it up one evening for the newer generations. Charley Chaplin. Remember "we"...

Keep yourself safe and healthy Brother marty15chris. May your return home be soon.

Congratulations my brother. May the GAOTU bless and keep you.

Trust me brother. We don't need any outside help in not getting along with each other. We're already afraid of each other enough to blow this puppy to smithereens. Not sure I've ever seen the logic in that: but it is what it is. :45:

One must look further. They had to be made by someone. If one believes everything is guided by and at the pleasure of a divine source then why would "Others" prove this concept incorrect? Or, rather, should the question be HOW STRONG IS YOUR BELIEF? Now that question, my brother, will really...

It would appear to me that "classic liberalism" is never looked upon fondly by conservatives anywhere. But that it is often misrepresented as touting the virtues of those undesirable totalitarian nations mentioned above. How could anyone be more conservative than an close-minded government run...

I have been through the area many times but failed to notice this lodge. Here's hoping things can be rebuilt and back in order soon. Many times tragedy such as this brings a lodge closer together and leads to closeness, growth and strength. Here's a prayer that this will indeed happen for our...

The good thing about African parrots, sparrows, and most of our feathered friends is that they are not likely to chunk rocks at us ... no matter the state of the relationship. Not sure I could always say that about wives.

Science most state it premise. That premise is then tested and EVOLVES into further science. The genome now appears before us. Surely, it will not be the final truth. After all, the Mercury capsule was a marvelous thing when I was in elementary school. Still, I doubt it will get us to Mars.

Very much looking forward to the opening date. Here's an invitation to all the valleys to join us for our new theatre in the round degrees. Much thought, time, and money has gone into the presentation. Houston will be the first. Look for this presentation format to spread throughout many of...

What does your law book from your grand jurisdiction say? In Texas I am obliged to follow The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas and that of the jurisdiction I am located in at any given time. Therefore, whether I am in New York, Florida, or Texas I am obliged to adhere to the laws of The...

Foreign Countries.

Thanks brother. Let me be the first Houston mason to return the favor. Judging from your Grand Master I met several years ago at the Grand Lodge of Texas gathering, the brethren of New Mexico deserve the same said praise.

Anyone know if olive trees will grow in Houston area? Say 45 miles or so northwest of the bay. My wife would like to give it a try.

Same here. Good policy.

I wear the masonic ring my father purchased in 1951, four months before my birth. It is red. The belief that this is Prince Hall is mistaken. Nor do I believe it to be emblematical of Scottish Rite (first three degrees) masonry. My father was raised in a blue lodge in Crowley, Louisiana...

You think the working tools are a hoot: try stringing the obligation together once you've been past. That's something to behold!

Re: Traditional observance lodges are they good fo I don't necessarily disagree with you Brother chrmc ... I don't necessarily disagree with you AT ALL! Howz 'bout a So Mote it Be!

Ditto Bro. Bill on that one. In fact, if you'd like to see how to take an exam and get a feeling for the process you really should attend at least one forum exam before. Just pick the exam you wish to take and set in among the brethren looking on. No one will mind as long as you quietly...

Masonry takes teachings from the mysteries of mankind. The more we know the more we see less and less differences through man's quest for his maker. Yes, there are abominations and charlatans along the way. Both, I may add in and out of mainstream religion. Still man's honest, serious search...
