    masonic ring question

    This had sparked a memory of an extremely nice ring that I had run across one time...I found it again: http://www.engravingarts.net/jewelry_making.html

    Forum Theme

    I love change, it's part of my job. I had not noticed the ability to change skins. I tried all three and they were neat but in this case, change is not better (for me)... Arukus

    That, is an outstanding newsletter! I really enjoyed the international portion.

    Cosmopolitan Lodge #872

    What a surprise! I mentioned that it might be nice to have a section dedicated to Brothers traveling to another Lodge and detailing aspects of their visit. And here it is! So I guess that kind of obligates me to write something, right? In May or June of 2008, I had a business trip to Port...

    Opening Stated Meeting in an EAM Lodge?

    It was offered when I was an EA and an FC. I thought that it was more important to stay outside and continue my studies. I felt that patience was an important virtue and that I needed to earn my place in the Lodge.

    Three Questions?

    For number one, another man’s words (unknown author) describe what it is and, what it means to me best: A Mason is a man who professes a Faith in God. As a man of Faith, he uses the tools of Moral and Ethical Truths to serve mankind. A Mason binds himself to the like-minded men in a...

    Recognized Lodges

    Now that's interesting. It was neat standing in from of the Texas Embassy in London years back. To check out an old Texas lodge overseas would really be something! Do you have any information on the exact location of those structures? Is there a book you could recommend that covers the subject?

    Recognized Lodges

    You made me dig back into the book again! Indeed, if you look up GL of Scotland, then look at Lodges outside of Scotland, Singapore is there. Cool!:D

    Recognized Lodges

    I'm trying to figure out some of the background on why some Lodges are recognized and some are not. My example for this thread would be the Lodges in Singapore. There are a few Lodges there, chartered under the GL of England, Scottland and Ireland. All three of the mentioned GL's are recognized...

    Texas Lodge of Research

    If I understand correctly, you can pay your dues and become an Associate member. You can join in on the meetings (I believe you could do that as a non-memeber anyway...as long as you are a Master) and will get a little lapel pin that looks like the apron. Upon submittal and approval of a...

    Santa Anna

    I've done a bit of reading on the topic. At first, I thought that too was the reason. It was actually because it was the right political move at the time and the best move for the citizens of our country (Texas, of course). The Grand Lodge has some really interesting articles on the subject...

    Santa Anna

    There are inferences that he was, such as the events at the Battle of San Jacinto however, I don’t think that anyone has ever been able to authenticate that he actually was. The only thing that I have found so far was the following statement: "Santa Anna - Mexican general, president and...

    How to bring masons back to ladge

    Never heard of it. Interesting reading though... http://www.masonicworld.com/education/files/apr02/include/rusty_nail_degree.htm I would like to think that our particular Blue Lodge makes it abundantly clear that we do not judge a man harshly because he is not able to fluently remember...
