Re: Your home lodge Thomas B. Hunter #1356

This is kind of a mixed bag in my opinion. I believe that all DDGM's should be able to interpret the Law as presented to them (by the book). However, I think that it might be too much to ask of most Brothers to have a "working knowledge" of the entire law book. BTW, is it not the Junior...

The best advice that I can give you is curtail the sideline chatter & non business discussion. Stick to the standard meeting flow and function. My home Lodge's Stated meetings thus far this year have been no longer than 45-60 minutes, the longer including voting on petitions & DDGM's...

Yes. From what I have observed, all of the Lodges that I belong to are guilty of keeping things longer than really needed.

I have added you and your wife to my daily prayer list.

I do not know of a site that directly contributes to a Lodge etc., but there are several that are operated by Brethren. I have been told that the best adhesive is made by 3M. However, this is the same brand used by the local TX merchandise committee. The 3M does last longer, but in the end...

I have ordered off of several different sites, and even ordered from the merchandise sales people here in Texas and none of the adhesives hold up to the heat here in Texas. That is why I like the vinyl die-cut decal that is normally purchased for the tail-lights. The decal shows up fairly well...

I think that is a very fine idea! In fact before you go visiting the Lodge, give the Secretary a call to let him know ahead of time. That way the Secretary can have a petition available and ready to give to you that evening as you are getting to know the Brethren there in attendance. You...

I made an attempt to do something similar. I posted them in the order that I joined them, left to right. Unfortunately in Texas, those very decals/emblems will not last through the hot summers that we have here. I have spent WAY too much money replacing those emblems as I see them fall of or...

I am not sure that this discussion is going anywhere at this point other than within a circle. Wear the best attire that you can based on the circumstances. I do not believe that anyone can ask anyone any more or any less. I would like to add that I find it interesting that we are having...

Congratulations!!

Here's the Bottom Line: No matter where you are at, dress as the occasion requires. If boots and jeans are acceptable, So Mote It Be. There is no reason for anyone to take this discussion too personally. We are after all Brothers, we all entered into this fraternity in the exact same manner...

I have to add that I am in the process of buying my very first tuxedo, not for a wedding or a dance... for another Masonic Body. Boys, I have grown used to being comfortable in Jeans, Dockers, Suits, & Tuxedos. I have been to Lodge in all but the tuxedo (to date), I have even attended...

"House Undevided" Oh and of course my favorite reference: Mackey's "Encyclopedia of Freemasonry"

I am Praying for you Brother!

Okay that helps. I can do the "York Rite" look, black suite, white shirt, black tie... for now. Thanks for the heads up on the tuxedo shop! I'll need to start looking into that... Now is it standard coat or tails?
