    Resolutions 2012

    Thanks for that information. I don't know if I will be able to get it in with my lodge as I am moving up to the Denton area this week and will be joining another lodge up there. So I don't think that I will be getting it in before the deadline. Is that deadline to get it approved by the local...

    Masonic Traveler Phone App

    Bogey- Yea, they have the California version and from what I was understanding is that some funds from the Grand Lodge there goes to that app. So the Brothers that are from California don't have to pay for the app. ---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM...

    Is he a mason?

    Yes, he can. We are here to make ourselves better and to assist make others better by being a guide or someone follow. Just because he has a bit of hate in him, doesn't mean that he will have that hate anymore when he leaves the lodge.

    Favorite Degree

    Hahha, that is true. There have been times in my life where I was nervous as heck, and even times when I was terrified some something. But when I was initiated, I was so nervous my body did something that it had never done before. I have seen people be nervous like that and start sweating...

    Resolutions 2012

    Bill, I would more than love to, but to be honest I am still a pretty "young" Mason. For pretty much 95% of my time of being a Mason I have been in the military or working for the military which didn't leave much time to be active in the lodge. The last month or so I have finally started to...

    Favorite Degree

    I didn't think about it till you said it, Bro May. I think that my favorite degree is still the 3rd Degree, but yea, before getting recieved for the first one I had no idea what to expect. In fact, I had a little bit of anxiety waiting there not knowing what was laying on the other side of the...

    Reasons for becoming a Freemason

    As Bro. Mike May said, there are several answers to this. My father is a Mason, but I never new about that until I was about 16 years old when I found his apron. Even then, I had no clue what the organization was about until a couple years later when I was riding with him on the way back from...

Ferguson, 1st Team!!...lol Yea, as a kid I grew up wanting nothing more to be in the military and there were two units that I wanted to be part of because of the history of those units and movies..lol 1st Cavaly Division and the 4th Infantry Division. I was very lucky in getting to serve in...

    G

    I voted God. I have been taught that it can be either God or Geometry. As I watched an informational Masonic video online the other day, it expressed how as Geometry is the central part of operative masonry, and that God is the central part of the speculative Masonry. Me being a speculative...

    hunting trip

    Hey, Bro. Gary. I just left the El Paso area about a month or so ago. After getting out of the Army in '09 I moved out there to work as a DA civilian. While there, I met a couple of Majors (one being a fellow Brother) that were both into hunting and have done some out there. I have the...

    Congratulations, bro. Once I get finished with my move next week to Denton I am looking forward to going that way as well! I don't know if I am going to be going through it in Denton, Dallas, or Fort Worth. I met some great Brothers in Dallas the a couple of weeks ago while I was visiting the...

    Starburst vs. Skittles

    Got a good point there, Mike!! If that was up there, I would have voted for the M&M's. Someone needs to put up the poll for peanut or regular M&M's...lol

    Starburst vs. Skittles

    Ah, the Skittles have it so far!!!! Funny thing is, I really didn't like Skittles too much till I was in Iraq...lol When I was there, I couldn't get enough of them. Now that I am back in the states, it is a treat that my daughter and I can enjoy together...lol And the Starbust issue has...

    Masonic Traveler Phone App

    Hey flttrainer- I have iPhone and iPad as well. I haven't tried it on my iPad yet as I figured that it would sort of be like the Facebook app and some others. What I mean is, when you open the app on the iPad it only opens to the size of the iPhone instead of making use of the whole iPad like...

    Hey, Brothers. Just wanted to put out some info on a smartphone app that I just bought. It is called Masonic Traveler USA. I know that it is on the iPhone, but it should also be available on the other smartphones as well. Completely awesome app. If you are on the road and like to visit other...

    Can a Texan become a Freemason while in Afghanistan?

    Vinny, I don't know if we have crossed paths or not. Maybe if I saw a picture of you I might remember the face. But I haven't been to Ht. Hiram in quite a while. I think the last time that I was there was back in early early 2010. Might have even been sometime in the later part of 2009...
