    Greetings from Iowa.

    Iowa: the home of one of the world's greatest Grand Lodge libraries! Welcome brother! You have much fertile ground at your feet. Walk wisely.

    Yearly Dues

    New temple is up and running ... with reservations. A few things need to be completed but I enjoyed our first evening. Heard nothing but kudos from the rest of the brethren as well. Yes, sailed Conroe for years. Lots of races up there. Great place to learn to sail. The winds osculate...

    Those Masons are all around us.

    Everything in its own time Brother. Stick with the tools and the brotherhood and you'll do very well. May the GAOTU bless and keep you.

    Those Masons are all around us.

    Brother Darren! Do you Aussies actually check that closely when someone slides a burger into your grips? Wild Bill_Lins and I can tell you that folks "up here" in Texas don't give them a second glance. Tex-a-GUNs are already contemplating the hand-eye-lip coordination necessary to dowse...

    Yearly Dues

    Brother Txmason. I have an endowed membership in the Houston Valley. As you know I also work a degree in Galveston. However, the best golf shot I ever made was my first. It sailed 200-plus yards straight down the fairway. I can honestly tell you that it was all downhill since that first...

    Yearly Dues

    Well, that has become the convenient belief brother. Truth is, the blue lodge endowment was set up to and meant to perpetuate one's contribution to the lodge after death. In no way was it to relieve a brother of his duty to keep the lodge running. Take a look at the numbers. They don't add...

    Can a Non-Christian become a Mason?

    Has anyone read The Path by Jason E. Marshall? It ties into this subject matter somewhat. Received my copy through snail mail yesterday afternoon and will finish this evening. So far, I find it quite balanced and a decent perspective as to the rolls played by religious dogma and man's quest...

    Please assist my journey

    Far to few people are aware of this, my brother. Occult is confused with Cult. Gnostic is confused with Agnostic. Truth is confused with fear. Many years ago a well versed songwriter penned, "When will we ever learn, W H E N will we E V E R learn." :6:

    Democracy vs Republic: Which are We?

    Agreed brother! Both Fox and MSNBC spread misinformation and hatred. They make money catering to the two LOUD MOUTH extremes of the greater populous. Those who wish to prey upon our tribal instincts. Anyone care to look up and dissect President Ike's parting speech on the subject of...

    2013 GLoTX GRAND ANNUAL COM. - who's going?

    I'll drift both in and out Friday. Say, looks like we have a fighting chance of a little cold weather for this one. Let's hope so. Or, at least, that it is not another hot one. C U all there.

    Age

    After that quick trip to Baton Rouge Saturday, I feel like history this morning. Even the 34-10 favorable result, at least to me, can not wash away "the slings and errors" of 61-plus years suffered by this ole Cajun body.

    Democracy vs Republic: Which are We?

    Brother Dalinkou is on the right track. If I weren't careful I just might charge him with being a purist "Age of Enlightenment" mason. Logical thought processes, looking for deeper meanings: all symptoms of that uncontrollable understanding those dastardly masons were so rightly charged with...

    Democracy vs Republic: Which are We?

    Thank you brother! Finally something that makes sense. The further we look into this thing the more we may find that our form of government is a mixture of many of these purist definitions. I know of no nation ruled by one of the structured definitions listed in The ISM textbook. Russia...

    Hutchinsonian Theory

    With Brother Co41 on this one. My first readings of Hutchinson did not leave a warm fuzzy true "light at the end of this tunnel" feeling. Nor can Hutchinson be given a wild card for writing in the early days of the eighteenth century. Remember, he more than we, was closer to the time of The...
