South Carolina requires the memorization taught by a coach, which the candidate gives in open lodge no less than 28 days after they receive their degree.
I was just curious if any brethren here has had any more light on the trestle board. I've visited many lodges and the trestle boards tend to have tr same designs in them. When I ask questions the best answer I get is that they allude to the working tools. Could anyone elaborate in this for me...
After realizing that every person I knew whom I had a great deal of respect for we're masons, I realized I needed to find out if it was just coincidence. So I emailed the grand lodge and about two days later the lodge secretary called me and this began my journey into light.

My most sincere and apologetic hopes and thoughts are with you and your family my brother in light.
I recently lost my grandfather who was a huge inspiration to my life. Everyone deals with loss differently and it impacts us all differently. Just try to look up and apply whatever life lessons...
Just open your heart and mind, pay close attention, don't do any forward study, and just take in the experience. It will be one to always remember.

For me this just provided an unprovoked reason to discuss the beauties of freemasonry with others. I never bring it up first but am delighted to answer questions to the best of my ability.

I very simply and eloquent piece of advice I heard an old pm say once was, " Just remember, I don't come to the lodge to worship god. That's what a church is for." That's always stuck with me when people talk about theology and masonry.

The best advice I got was to not do a whole lot of forward research, which was difficult for me. I like to read everything I can get my hands on before I started on something. So to placate myself I just delved deeply into the last degree I took to keep myself away from the next degree...
I was a Chaplain Assistant in the Army, so that was 80% of my job, just providing an outlet for people. That aspect I have no qualms, issues or worries about, I have a fairly good memory and won't have a problem remembering the prayers or circumnavigations, I've just been looking for some...
I was nominated to be my lodges chaplain. And I am unopposed. Any advice or stories about this position as it looks like I will be it next year? Fraternal thanks and wishes to all.

Does anyone else have a special spot in their hearts for the working tools of masonry? I just live the duality and allusions in the lectures I've heard do far. I'm being raised to the sublime degree of master mason on 29 August 2013. I can't wait to hear the last one. Does anyone have any...
