    Nostalgia for Men of a Certain Age

    I am feeling nostalgic today. I can’t believe I survived childhood. According to today’s regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s probably should not have survived. Our baby cribs were covered with bright colors of lead-based paint. We had no child-proof...

    Mason at sight ?

    One of our PGM once shared a story with me about when he was the GM. Seems this guy wrote him several times requesting he be made Mason on Sight and claimed the Lodges in Virginia were prejudiced against the and several had blackballed his ballot attempts. He attached all sorts of letter of...

    Station and Place Questions

    See if anyone disagrees with this: (if so, feel free to say so) In the Kansas jurisdiction, the Worshipful Master, Senior Warden, Junior Warden and Tyler are said to have a station while all other officers have a place. This terminology and usage varies somewhat in other jurisdictions. In...

    Station and Place Questions

    Personally, I think the Secretary should have a pedestal so all can adore him and tremble beneath him. Places? I don't need no stinkin' places!

    Station and Place Questions

    The WM, SW and JW are said to have a "station" while the other officers are said to have a "place." Any thoughts on why this is? In many jurisdictions, it is said that the Tyler "is stationed" but I think this may be erroneous and that he actually has a place. My reasoning behind this belief is...

    Unless it is my widow, I don't think I have any interest in the matter.

    Doing business with Masons

    I personally do, and I know when we need a carpet guy or a HVAC guy for the lodge, someone always asks if anyone knows a Brother in that business. It has never led us wrong yet.

    Mormonism and Freemasonry

    Hopefully, the Mormons understanding of their rituals and meaning are better explained to them than many of ours are. Much of the Mormon Church clearly is borrowed from Masonry.

    Freemasonry Stereotypes from non brothers

    They didn’t tell me when I became an Entered Apprentice. They didn’t tell me when I became a Fellow Craft. They didn’t tell me when I became a Master Mason. They didn’t tell me when I became a Royal Arch Mason. They didn’t tell me at Council, Chapter or Commandary. They didn’t tell me when I...

    The Last Guardian

    Where will the Ferguson rioters go tonight? I don't know. I can tell you where they won't go.....to this guy's store. Think of this the next time someone tells you that you don't need military style weapons or 30-round magazines. One man standing against a hoard of rioting looters doesn't work...

    It is all our fault

    If the 8 of us can ever agree on where to eat dinner, we can plot how to take over all of Russia.

    Slide Show During the Lectures

    Dr. John Nagy wrote about it in his book Building Hiram. He suggests that the process of perfecting the ashlar is removal of those things not required by the builder. He also states that the builder adds nothing to the stone.

    Freemasonry called a cult

    A "cult" is usually what a big church calls a little church.
