    Know a good a jeweler in Arlington or west fort worth?

    I'm looking for a jeweler in the Arlington or west fort worth areas that would be willing to work on a 50-60 year old ring. I have my great uncles ring that needs to have a rivet replaced before I loose the stone in it. Thanks

    Hoarders--Lodge edition

    I hope they weren't Masonic ashtrays. Those are getting hard to find. I managed to find one that was ment for cigars and had to pay a little more than I wanted but it's worth it.

    Yea almost all of the lodges in district 50a are in that building or in the York Rite building.

    My personal take on the Shrine

    Too bad your not in Austin. I could get you in touch with someone at Ben Hur and get you on the barrel.

    Your home lodge (Photo Collection)

    For those of you who have been to the GLOT you may have been through the hallways of the lower levels where there are pictures of every lodge in Tx. I got to thinking the other night I would be great to see where we all call home. Onion Creek Lodge No. 220, Austin, Tx

    My personal take on the Shrine

    The sands were a blast. I had a feeling when we were told to stop hot that cold wouldn't last. Sent from my iPhone using Freemasonry

    My personal take on the Shrine

    Should DDGM Candidates Be Required To Pass A Grand Lodge Law Proficiency?

    I have noticed that not only is it a "Good Ole' Boy" system but that some lodges hold the "power" to control the position. I think it would be a good idea if the DDGM was set on a rotating lodge basis as well as having a panel of PM to grant approval. After all they represent the district not...

    Which one was the most diffcult?

    For me the only somewhat difficult part was the EA obligation. Once I got past that everything it was all easy. The FC and MM work wasn't that bad at all. Now if I could just keep Q/A and floor work separated. Hahaha

    2011 Esoteric Certifications (GLoTX)

    I need to sit in on a few classes to brush up on my work. I have held minimum of a C cert. every year since 4 months after being raised. I'm currently about to go in to my 3rd year of a 3year B.

    Hoarders--Lodge edition

    No it's not hoarding it's collecting antiques. Yes even the 10 year old can of beans every lodge has but doesn't know where it came from. Hey 01 was a great year for ranch style beans.

    Shriners, Scottish Rite or York Rite

    I'm going to have to go with the shrine. But that's only because the FMRC isnt up there and Ben Hur has a motorcycle club. I am a member of the Shrin, scottish and York rites. But if I only had to pick one that is what it would be.

    How do you deal with it???

    The best way to inform the missinformed is to have them spend a day in Galveston. If they leave the hospital without a change in view all hope is lost on them.

    I'd like to meet more people here

    Tell them all Russ said hi and if they need anything my number hasn't changed. If I remember right I was W.M. when Ben and Curtis came through and I took part in Dennis's degrees. Are the Sanders still real active? Gene taught me all of my work and Mike was my S.W. I wish I could be there...

    Lodge Attire

    If a lodge closes it's doors on a brother based on how he is dressed then that lodge has lost sight of the teachings of what makes a mason a mason.

    Anthony, How are things at our little lodge? It has been far to long since I have been there. Who do you have as an instructor?

    Lodge Attire

    My home lodge is a "working mans" lodge we have members that are retired military to doctors to surveyors such as myself. I have seen brothers wear anything from suits to shorts and it doesnt bother me one bit. Honestly to me this whole image thing is nonsense. A brother is a brother no...

    Sad news from Onion Creek 220

    OCL is a State Historical site so we are limited to what we can and can not do. We are set off from the road and in a somewhat secluded spot. How ever we do have several police officers that visit our grounds during the day and night as a place to fill out their reports and such.
