I received this disturbing email from my home lodge. For those in or near Austin you may want to keep an eye out for this at your lodge.
"Brethren, I have the following disturbing report, withheld until talking with Austin Fire Department’s Arson Investigation Division today.

Things are good. Been way too long since I have sat in a lodge and have been missing it.
I couldn't remember if it was Mike, Gene Sanders or one of the other guys.
Hey Tom,
How are things out in Richardson? I'm trying to recall who it was over at 220 that was helping you out with your work and can't remember who it was.
Bro. Lee,
It has been a few years but I do remember you. You home lodge did a great MM degree. It's good to see you online, how have you been?

Glad to hear you enjoyed your degree. What days and...
I think that there should be some discussion about the candidate however it should be limited. We do not want to cross the bounds of privacy and intrude on a persons life. Also would we want to cross some of those lessons taught us? What would you say if someone approached you before or after...
I have mixed feelings about one day classes but I do understand when they can be deemed necessary.
By having to learn the work you do gain a better understanding of the degrees. It also helps in daily life because you are more apt to follow the lessons learned. But I am also one that believes...
That is true but when you have a large number of brothers present for voting is it practical or wise to hold a reserve amount in a separate container? Say you have 50 brothers show up you would need 100 balls. Most ballot boxes I have seen are unable to hold that many ball waiting to be cast.
Does not apply to me. My home lodge uses cubes.
The law book is clear on what results depending on the number of rejection votes.
My question is, do you in fact perform a Masonic offense by asking for more of a particular color when all have been used. Kind of a trick question there.
I used to head out that way all the time. I would normally stop by the blue bonnet. Their chocolate pie tastes just like the ones my grandmother used to make.
I am not sure if they have one or not. From what I have heard they have a very nice building that used by a few lodges and apendent...
I have worn my apron in public twice. Both were for funerals of very good friends of mine. My lodge gives the outgoing WM a PM apron when he leaves office so that one is the one I wear.
Thanks for the welcome.
owls84, I wish I could have made it to the degree but I have other plans for tonight. Let me know how it goes. I have always enjoyed working the degrees. I do have to say that the SW in the FC degree is one of my favorites right along with the 2R in MM degree. My home...
I joined the forum a couple of weeks ago and just now getting the chance to say hi. I am new to the Arlington area...well sort of. I am a PM of Onion Creek 220 out of Austin. I moved back to Arlington almost 2 years ago now after living in the Austin area for 13 years. I have only visited...
