This had sparked a memory of an extremely nice ring that I had run across one time...I found it again:

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)...

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...
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.
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...
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?
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...
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...
OK, I'm inspired!
I'm not a member yet but, have just requested the guidelines and will be submitting an application for associate membership shortly.
Now an appropriate topic, that has not been thoroughly covered and, is of interest is the challenge…
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...
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...
Never heard of it. Interesting reading though...

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...
Welcome Brother, glad you've joined us!
Let us know if we can be of any help. If you get time, feel free to ride over to League City one evening to join us. Someone is there every Monday (usually doing practice) and our stated meetings are every 1st and 3rd Thurdays. It'll give you a chance to...
