    Hahah, thanks a lot man. It sure was a long season, but fun. You sure gave me a run for my money. Maybe next year! Thanks for playing this season, Brother.

    I Finished a New Book

    I was going to ask the same question. I will follow this up with a PM. Can't wait to get my eyes on this :)

    Masonic traveler app

    I'm sorry that you are having a bit of trouble getting it downloaded from iTunes. I have the app and I just checked to make sure that it is still working, and it is. If you want to, tell me where you would like to look up some lodges and I'll message you with ALL the information I can get for you.

    Masonic traveler app

    That is a shame that they removed it. I really like the app and am thankful that it is still working. Especially since I paid so much for it. Doesn't surprise me that they moved it from App Store, though. There were some really bad reviews regarding lack of updating information and customer...

    What happens to the rejected candidate?

    I know it is a VERY far shot, but what would you Brothers think about it if all of PHs and mainstream GLs came together and got rid of the barriers by combining into one organization? No more PH, no more mainstream, and get rid of territorial worries. Just one group dedicated to the same...

    MM Son coming to Texas

    I liked going to catch a Diablos game. There is some cool stuff to check out and do outside of El Paso as well. Go up to Las Cruces and there is a few things. On the way to Las Cruces you can go by Old Mesilla which has an old town Mexican town square there. It is pretty neat to go in the...

    ESPN MoT Football Draft Tomorrow Night

    This is a bit of a repost from the Announcements section. I posted this there as there was a conversation going on there, but figured I would put it down here in case anyone skips over that part up there. ----------- Hey, just remember that the ESPN MoT draft is 7:30 ET. That means 6:30 for...

    Why is it so hard to get Masons to join the Commandery?

    What this I hear about an attrition rate? Is this referring to Brothers who try to go through the motions of joining the Commandery but get kicked out? Or is it referring to the same problem that is visible in a lot of other areas of Masonry? Meaning, Brothers join but then for some reason drop...

    Joined Chapter in Grand Fashion

    Wow. Congrats on that. I can't wait to go through York Rite, which will hopefully be in a couple of months. Though, I doubt I will have such the high honor of being received by such esteemed members as you were. Brothers that I know and that have watched me grow up from a young boy will most...

    Fire

    Yea, most fire departments will use foam now which is pretty much a really concentrated detergent or soap. Works really well. Sorry to hear bout the damage to your property. I'm praying that everything works out alright.

    Thanks for playing....

    Haha, right? Seriously guys, we can't let someone that has the profile picture of Chunk doing the truffle shuffle win...lol If that wasn't such a good movie, I would say that is grounds for taking away his man card privelages for week.

    Ring Help Needed Opinions Please

    I'm with Bro. Beathard when it comes between the Acacia and the All Seeing Eye. Both mean something to me in their own way. The All Seeing Eye serves as a reminder of something in particular to me, and the sprig of course symbolizes something specific to our craft that means a lot to me. The...

    Previously Turned Down Petitioner??

    Lol, I wouldn't worry on it too much. I haven't been around too long of a time, but I have been around a little bit and I haven't seen that happen before. I have only seen one guy get turned down, and there was a really good reason for it.

    Previously Turned Down Petitioner??

    Thanks, Brother. Good words. From talking to the Brothers last night, and also knowing the Brothers at this lodge for as long as I have I don't think that that is the case. Thankfully. I like to see a potential candidate that has a high level of interest in joining, but I don't think that...

    Previously Turned Down Petitioner??

    Thanks, guys. I got lodge tonight, and so I will ask one or two Brothers that I know that have known him for years. When talking with him, it was one of those things that you could just tell in his voice that if he had the chance, he would jump at it. He is just deciding if he wants to risk...

    EA's serving on committees?

    Well said there, Bro. Benjamin. I try to make Masonry as much of a lifestyle as possible as well. I really like how you worded that.

    EA's serving on committees?

    VERY good idea, Mac! I didn't even think of that. It allows the new member to assist where necessary, but also holds fast some of the older ideas. I hate not giving credit where it is due to someone, but I do think that this really meshes both sides of things. At least the Brothers in the...

    Previously Turned Down Petitioner??

    After talking with a good buddy today, I got to thinking and figured I would ask this question in the best place for these kinds of answers...lol I mentioned to him that I was going to be going to lodge tomorrow night and he asked me if I meant Masonic lodge. I told him yes, and he was really...
