    Does Grand Lodge Law Help or Hurt Individual Lodges?

    I agree with Bro Harris. I would add that how far does one think that our organization would have come from its beginnings if there had not been order? Would it still exist as a recognizable group? I sincerely doubt it. As with any organization, not everyone will be pleased with every...

    Codebooks for Non-Master Masons

    I did not use one and, I knew they were out there. I waited until I was 44 years of age to join, I wanted to make sure I gave the organization the proper respect. My Grandfather was a Mason and I respected that man very very much. To me, I would have felt him looking down at me for above if...

    Does your Lodge implement the A.L.L and L.I.F.E program?

    I'm happy to say that our Lodge makes sure that the ALL program is implemented. Being new to Masonry, I was looking for every bit of understanding that I could get my mind around. Having an elder Brother talk with me was, and still is, of great benefit on my path to Light. Without trying to...

    Shriner's hospital closing

    Bretheren: On Saturday, February 21, League City Lodge will be hosting its monthly Lamar dinner. Of particular interest is that Bro. Glynn Gregory, 33rd, will conduct a presentation regarding the Scottish Rite Hospital beginning at 7:00 pm. I don’t know if any additional insight will be...

    Golf tournament

    The Brothers over at Alvin #762 are having their second annual golf tournament. I know that golf tourneys can definitely pull in a crowd. I haven't had the talk to anyone over there in-depth about how well it's worked for them. What especially catches my eye is the corporate sponsorship portion...

    A very sad week for us, Anthem No. 1

    A very moving poem indeed. I have not progressed in my readings very far towards Albert Pike's works. What little I have caught here and there, are very deep and moving. Our prayer's go out to you and yours this night.

    Cornerstone Ceremony

    Hi folks, Well, I wasn't able to make it and was interested in how things turned out. I'm hoping to head up there the next time the in-laws go to Wealder (probably a couple of months) and will try to co-ordinate it with a time that the Lodge has it's stated meeting. Sooo, was there a...

    Cornerstone Ceremony

    Well, isn't it a small world! My father-in-law has bit of property out on CR 222. I've ridden by the Lodge there when I've traveled up periodically to help him with various upkeep. Really neat old building from the outside. It's never worked out for me to go inside due to the fact that no one...

    What Kind of Mason are you?

    Regular will probably fit me best now, as I grow. I didn’t vote for Regular though, I voted Other I didn’t see a description for Other in the post on Kinds of Masons†but, I would like to think that I might become that Other type of Mason. To me, Other would be a blend of the desirable...

    Kinds of Masons

    Interesting read. Reflecting back on my experiences so far, I can see certain aspects of the above types in Brothers that I’ve met. It certain gives food for thought on the type of Mason that I do not want to become. I can’t say that I’ve seen anyone, other than the regular Mason, that...

    Have you worn your white leather apron?

    I have worn mine on three occasions: Visitation of the GLWM to the Alvin Lodge, installation of officers at the Alvin Lodge and the installation of officers at my home Lodge in League City. Not that there is anything wrong with the white cloth apron at all (it’s what’s on the inside of the...

    Favorite Degree?

    MM- By the time I reached that stage, I was more relaxed and focused on the lesson that was being conveyed. I was still quite nervous during the EA (especially) and the FC. Going back and watching the two previous two, new aspects came into view about what was being conveyed, things that I...

    Greetings from League City, Texas

    Hello all, Doing a bit of research this evening and stumbled across this site. After reading through a few of the threads, seeing the content of the discussions and recognizing a few of the contributors, I thought I would join. Granted, my contribution may be minimal at first. I was just...
