    In The Garden

    That's a BIG TEN-4 Brother cog41! I'd say that is a fine art at the least. The younger one discovers the art of pacing oneself the better off all of us are. To bad I had to get old and wore out before I glimpsed a clue. Whatever! If I had it all to do over again ... I...

    Ideas to improve the Lodge.

    You are thinking brother. And you are reasoning well! You must make sure the new group gets through. Don't let them settle in. Get them involved teaching and working with the charities. Here's another suggestion. Get with your district instructor and start a group working toward their...

    why are Catholics "excommunicated"

    These human "organisms" show up everywhere under the square. After all, it is a material world. Anything "man-made" is subject to misguided information and abuse. That includes the fraternity of freemasonry. However, neither the Christian nor the mason (Christian or other monotheistic...

    Jonathon Foster Torture Truth of Texas Masons

    Come on brother! Not all these Texas masons have "bid-ness" ties with Oklahoma. A few of them actually work for a living. But I don't have an ax to grind in this border war. Once upon a time I entered a bar in Hugo with two fellows from Texas. They proceeded to get into a John Wayne-Lee...

    Jonathon Foster Torture Truth of Texas Masons

    Ghee! Wonder what he thinks of the neighbors ... and that suspicious woman pushing that baby carriage. OR is it?

    Has anyone seen my dog ?

    yeah ... most of those little dogs are partial to the light coming from the east. they appear to be drawn to it.

    Is anglo-freemasonry on the endangered list?

    Your eyesight must be poor brother. I see PLENTY of lodges still looking at the external man before seeing the internal qualificiations. That goes for skin tone, net worth, and a mirid of other qualities. But, unfortunately, we are dealing with people subject to all the petty tastes people...

    Ideas to improve the Lodge.

    You are right. The more interest taken in a member the better. After all, it is not a personal journey alone. Knowledge without being transfer is wasted and will soon wither on the vine. It is give and take. Unfortunately to many take only. A man who continues to give over time...

    Ideas to improve the Lodge.

    This year we've lost one EA to college away from home. Thirteen others have moved through to Master Masons ... the last turning in his ALL program this past Tuesday evening. One gentleman who works off-shore for seven-week hitches plans to turn in sections two and three of the EA on his next...

    Has anyone seen my dog ?

    That wasn't a saddle. It was one of those Euro-belts and he was headed to Austin to visit with some Tea-sipper. But he stopped off in Hempstead and Blinn(ed) in very well.

    2011 Esoteric Certifications (GLoTX)

    UPDATE: I've since certified and recertified for a C Certification. My intentions are now to gain a B certification. Though I wish to research and read more about masonry, I will learn the lectures if no one else in my home lodge does. Our current lecturers are older now and I don't want the...

    2013 Texas Scottish Rite Legacy Convocation

    Glad you enjoyed it brother! I so wanted to go but was kept away by a blue lodge stated meeting Saturday. I serve as Senior Warden and could not get away. These Scottish Rite events are well worth the time and drive.

    Masonic Emblems

    Brother SlyGC59. Buy her one of those blue slipper magnets to put on the back of her car to let the brethren know she is connected with the brotherhood by relationship. The name of the emblem escapes me at the moment but it is a signal to all members of the craft that the lady in possession of...

    Wow, Just wow....

    Sorry Brother Scott. I never had a 50-pound puppy. But I'm sure that would change my world view. I did have a man tell me the other day that everyone in Houston was "afraid of each other." He's from a small town in west Texas but has been in Houston since the early 1970s. Neither of which...

    Wow, Just wow....

    Re: Manly hall Pick up a copy of Master of The Mysteries, THE LIFE OF MANLY PALMER HALL, by Louis Sahagun. Probably his best work is The Secret Teachings of All Ages. Make your own conclusions. God bless brother.
