Also, I remember the commercial and the summer earthquakes, too. I was in the Navy back in the '70s and was in San Diego and Long Beach (when it was a functioning shipyard), and I felt a few of the tremblors. My Mother still uses the Shake and Bake for her chicken and pork chops. LOL.

Do you mean to tell me that the water has not gone away yet? LOL. I'm up here in San Angelo, just a hop, skip, and a jump away from you, and we have been watching the weather down that way pretty close because my little sister lives over in Bandera. Y'all got just too much in too short a time...

Ha Ha! Not about to be outdone by the younger guys! I know the feeling. I sometimes feel like, "I have all of this life experience and you guys are just starting, so I am not gonna let you get ahead of me." But, at the same time it is great to see the young ones doing the same things we are. At...

I like this. It makes too much sense not to live by it. May I borrow it? I promise to give credit where credit is due. Also, how are things in Idaho? I have family in the Boise area. I haven't seen them in many years, but they are still there according to my second cousin on my Mother's side...

???????Skip Sampson????

Yes sir, I was. I just did not understand what it was all about at the time. I was turning in my EA proficiency about a week later and overheard the SD examining a visitor and the light bulb lit up. I suppose I was tampering with that untempered mortar, but, I was not being an intentional...

I'll be surprised if it makes it to Grand Lodge. It would be cool if it did, but I don't think there will be enough backing to get it up there for consideration. Just my opinion, though. Too much controversy.

Here, I agree with you, Brother. All someone has to do is go to a Masonic Supply website and look at the book section and there it all is. Go to Amazon.com an look for Solomon's *********** an aid to Memory for whatever state and there it all is. I think that if they are going to sell the...

big ron00, Where are you located? Just curious.

Greetings, Brother!

Well said Brother Hatley! I know it to be a fact that a man bonds with his mentor/instructor. The man who taught me is now 80 and is like a surrogate father to me. If something were to happen to him, it would break my heart. I only spent two months with him on my memory work, but I developed a...

I am currently in the South, going to the West, in one lodge and have been told that I was recommended for the South in the other lodge, so I still have quite a bit of light that I need to see before travelling out of the Blue Lodge. It has been quite and experience, though, and I am looking...

These are my rings. The one on the left was presented to me when I was "Raised to the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason" by my younger brother who is a Brother in the lodge, who, by the way, is the Brother I got my petition from. The ring on the right I had custom made by masonicshop.com. I wear...

Thank you, Brother Upton. I feel that is my "job" as a Master Mason to help those who wish to find the light. I, myself am still seeking the deeper, more meaningful light. I feel that I might find it someday. There are still degrees that I have not been priveledged to partake of yet, but I am...

Well said, Brother Mark. My mentor/instructor made fairly clear to me after just a few days of instruction, that, as an Entered Apprentice, there were certain things that I was not yet entitled to know, therefore, I could not visit another lodge unless I was in the company of a Master Mason and...

The first thing I would do is to find a lodge near you and contact them. You can get online and go to www.grandlodgeoftexas.org and look at the lodge locator to find a lodge near you. If you are interested in PHA masonry you can go to www.mwphglotx.org and check their lodge locator. Find the...

Brother Freyburger; I wholeheartedly agree with your last paragraph. In my parent lodge, San Angelo #570, our SD is the degree officer who delivers that part of the dialogue in the 2nd degree, all the way past the SW. I have never seen it done any other way. Maybe I am one of the lucky ones. My...

Brother McClure, You and I share a special Masonic date. I was Initiated on the same day that you were Raised. I also have sibling who is a Master Mason. As a matter of fact, he is who I got my petition from. Strange how the world works for us. S&F

Young Mr. Ayoub, you should be able to find a lodge near you by going to the website of the Grand Lodge of the state in which you live and click on their lodge locator. It should give you information about any lodges near you; addresses, meeting times, etc... Pick one you think you might feel...

I have been wondering what you looked like. LOL!
