Anyone. Did this rumor spur the Grand Lodge of Texas communication of a month or so ago regarding degree work? I am quite aware of the work in the "Red Lodge" degrees and find them to be very stimulating, rich with symbolism and meaning. But I understand the York Rite heritage of the degrees...

FC ... Golden Rule reception. The key to humanity. Should have solved every question for all with an attentive ear.

Good way to look at it coachn! I've often thought of it in terms of economics. Spirituality is indeed a personal experience. Religion, more of a franchising experience. Unfortunately, it's human nature to concentrate on the things that make us all different. Not the things that make us...

Stay warm brother! Have a very good holiday weekend. All in Texas would like to see you back next weekend for Grand Lodge. But, we'll save you a chair for when you get home. Houston Valley member ... jwhoff

thanks Hippie19950.

Txmason, You just missed our last reunion here in Houston. Last weekend at Holland Lodge No. 1. All your pertanient questions on costs, etc., can be answered by checking in on the website, houston valley of scottish. Go to your favorite search engine, pull up the website and go to...

Sorry gentlemen, I don't see a link. But being in need of the information, I'm not too proud to ask. Somebody throw me a vine!

Gentlemen we have six or seven young men between 18 and 30 petitioning the lodge as I write this missive. It's contagious and it seem to be working. And, I'm noticing many young men taking the step on this, the northwest side of Houston. Fellow "old farts," it appears that we're watching...

One more thing brother. Don't forget to stop every once in a while to breath. Sounds simple but it is both necessary and soothing. Too, it doesn't hurt to cup your fingers and turn your hands upward. Try it now, you'll feel the tention leaving your body. Relax, soon you will be working...

Hello Egyptian! Welcome Ahmed salah eldeen, good luck in your travels.

Endowed in my home lodge but paying yearly dues (so far) in my affiliated lodge. Even before the investments went south, I always contributed yearly dues in memory of my father and older brother (also endowed before his death.) Agree, our lodges and TxGL need the money now. So I'm going...

Purgatory, reincarnation, Houston rush hour traffic. Keep your eyes on the prize! The journey thereby is not so important. I thank the G.A.O.T. for leaving us all a path to reach our destiny. May all good brothers obtain the light.

Raven! he's quite the bird you know.

I'd like to have an answer to that one myself. For instance, if the Grand Lodge of Louisiana recognizes the New Orleans lodges, aren't we connected?

Keep reading brother! remember, tomorrow is a very new day. God bless .... welcome aboard ... jwhoff

Very glad you're not lost. You obviously have much to share and I look forward to that very much. Welcome back, brother!

I see 56 yes votes but no thoughts posted. Folks are voting yes and not using the code books. Folks are voting no and using the code books. This is still a very unsolved issue ... especially in our individual minds. There are logical reasons to take either side of the issue. Looks like the...

Raven ... in the nick of time!

I have read both Morals and Dogma and the newer publication by the brothers out of north Texas. I got so interested in that one I chased the setting sun all around the yard each evening during the two-week aftermath of Hurricane Ike. Once you've gotten into Pike you can move along well enough...

I defer to brother Benjamin Franklin on this one. Although I fear the answer may be at hand. Not sure any of us will like the answer. Why are we all so eager to destroy the experiment.
