    Let's Make a Difference

    That's what I was wondering. Didn't GL receive a petition from PH for full visitation rights? Where do things stand? Is this still "stuck in a committee"?

    What's a brother to due

    Like Blake, by the end of my term I was burnt out and ready to pass the gavel. This year I was asked to serve as Senior Steward. While I probably should have taken a year off to catch my breath, I think the change has made a nice transition and reinforces a lesson in humility that we all should...

    Oculists Order - Wired Magazine

    This was a fascinating article about decoding a 250 year old cipher to discover that it detailed another secret society. Although the society itself wasn't Freemasonry, it is mentioned several times throughout the article. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/11/ff-the-manuscript/all/

    College Station Shooting

    That is correct. I was his installing Master just a few months ago. Our hearts are very heavy this week. Please keep Bro. Bachmann's family in your prayers.

    Eavesdroppers

    This article is reproduced from an 1896 issue of the Gonzales Inquirer (in Texas) and includes a humorous local legend about an eavesdropper who stumbled upon a Masonic degree. Gonzales County Courthouse.

    Summer movies 2012

    Now that Avengers is behind us, what other movies should we be looking forward to this summer? Prometheus (billed as a prequel to Alien) sounds promising. I've mostly tried to avoid trailers and spoilers for this movie because of my love for the original 2. (As far as I'm concerned, the others...

    Experiencing a Surge of New Masons?

    We typically initiate 2-4 people a year in our lodge. Maybe 25% continue the work and make it to Master Mason, but I've tried to do my best this year in the East to keep our candidates interested and engaged and let them know that even when life gets in the way (as it does for all of us), they...

    John Carter of Mars review

    ***Spoiler Free*** Saw it on opening night. I first read the books in Jr. High and fell in love with them. As much as I wanted the movie to be good, mostly I was just hoping that it wouldn't stink. I'd say it fell somewhere between the two. The Bad It was a movie that needed another round of...

    Latest Avengers Trailer

    A friend joked today that since it's a Joss Whedon movie, someone's gotta die. -"Hulk is leaf in wind...watch how Hulk soars... SPLAT! urk urk urk choke choke choke..." Personally, my money is on Hawkeye.

    War Horse

    It looked scientifically created to be the most sad, depressing movie ever crafted in the history of cinema. Although it does pass the "Life is too short to watch movies without explosions" test, it still didn't look like a particularly fun movie.

    The Amazing Spiderman Trailer 2

    I was pretty skeptical of a reboot in which we have to watch his origin story all over again. I'll admit though, the trailer makes it look like it doesn't linger on becoming Spiderman, but rather focuses on being Spiderman. This trailer gives me more hope for the movie than I'd had previously...

    email Question need help please

    Kenneth's suggestion has a certain merit. Have her try accessing the same site using a different browser, be it Chrome or IE. Find out if it's a browser specific problem or something deeper.

    It was one of those nights...

    Whoa, that stinks. It sure makes for a stressful night, doesn't it? Out of curiosity, why did you call down to an EA? When the DDGM makes his official visit to our lodge (as will happen next week) we let EAs and FCs know that they are welcome and encouraged to join us for the meal but they...

    Lousy Masonic Facebook Pages

    Hmmm. Our Facebook page hasn't had that problem yet. Our problem is obscurity! That being said, up until reading this thread I was the only admin for our lodge's Facebook page. I've now added another admin as a backup in case I ever unexpectedly give up my working tools while bravely rescuing a...
