    Democracy vs Republic: Which are We?

    Reviving a dead horse ... or getting your gerrymandered ax back out to grind it. It may be time for some of us on the other side of this argument to tell you point blank: Don't Tread on Me! Here's a thought, why don't we use this website for masonic topics and keep the ax in your closet for...

    Wearing the Bling

    Simply put. It has all to do with the placement of the S & Q. Again, this was a one-off campaign and only one year in duration. The ground rule still applies to EAs and FCs in Texas.

    Wearing the Bling

    The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas brethren may remember that in 2007 Grand Master Tommy Broughton had a campaign that saw him pin on EA and FC pins on those of us going through our degrees. I was lucky enough to receive an EA pin from him at Holland Lodge No. 1 in January and the FC pin...

    demiting from prince hall mason to mainstream

    I, too, am a "mainstream" mason. Not sure how that rings in your ears. But for me it sounds strange in that Prince Hall masonry's ties to the Grand Lodge of England are ever bit as strong as my jurisdiction here in Texas. Here in Texas we have vibrant and strong jurisdictions thriving side by...

    What Do New Freemasons Really Want?

    There's a thought. STILL, I'm listening to all that these young brothers have to say. Believe it or not, these ARE words of encouragement to many of us old hatters. It's much too easy to become cynical and just give up. Thank you my young brethren. These words stir my soul and make me...

    Master's Hat

    I've worn a Panama Jack both this year and last year in the East. My last cowboy hat was green and had white stagecoaches on it. My sister told me a few weeks ago the last time she saw it was in a toy box in the back of the closet. Yep, I was smaller when I was younger. :sneaky2: ... I...

    It's that time of year.

    Wisconsin? Yes. I went to the LSU-Wisconsin game at Camp Randall when I was a sophomore. Had an absolute blast. The folks up in Madison are true football fans and support their team with pride and dignity. I'm thinking of mounting a posse for the Tiger-Badger game up in Green Bay the...

    It's that time of year.

    Have been checking the recruiting boards this month. Looks like the rich will get richer. A&M is beginning to recruit favorably with Alabama and LSU. Georgia is getting better recruits again while Florida is dropping fast. Texas and Oklahoma are going to be hurt as A&M comes back of age...
