Well said Brother. As a side note though I would add that it is possible in Oklahoma to visit a PHA Lodge and vice versa. This is one area Oklahoma is ahead of Texas!

We didn't police the world until WWII. Before we were drawn into that war we had a policy of isolationism. As a former member of the armed services I have seen some of the other side that a lot of people don't see and it is my feelings that we need to get completely out of some of the places we...

As far as jealousy of rich people go Jim Carrey said it best: "I hope everybody could get rich and famous and will have everything they ever dreamed of, so they will know that its not the answer"

Welcome to the forums Brother.

I don't know of any place right off, but you could pull images from the web and make your own pattern out of them. My grandmother used to do that for some of her quilts. If she saw something she liked she would get an image and make her own and then transfer the pattern to the material. Just an...

Awesome news. Congrats.

Great letter Brother. I will continue to watch to see what happens. I know we haven't any problems in Oklahoma since visitation was enacted. As a matter of fact we have had some functions that were hosted by PHA Lodges and the main guests were GLoO Officers. Once WB Jim Tresner did a speaking...

I will try my best.

Recently we had our first District meeting of the year. My particular District (#34) has had the same officers for about the last couple of years now. Well, did have. We recently held elections and my Lodge has stepped up to fill the roles. I was voted in as the new Secretary/Treasurer for...

Welcome to the forums and to Masonry. I have the same feelings as you in regards to not joining sooner, but better late than never.

Welcome Brother to not only this forum but also Masonry.

Someday I hope I can get down there for a reunion or two around Texas. I am getting ready for ours coming up in April. Gotta dust off the scripts and get busy.

I always have mine in my car. During practice nights I will get it out, but never in a tiled lodge (big no-no). During a practice it is inevitable that there will be some confusion over a word here and there and it settles the matter rather quickly. As an aid in instruction, I will only look at...

We have them in Oklahoma and the problems you speak of I have never personally witnessed. I have one and I have never taken it in the Lodge during a degree or stated meeting. I do take it when we are practicing degrees. I have yet to see where it causes a problem with anything. I know that they...

Man, you Texas Masons are crazy!! Also, why is it you are all CEOs? Why did we, in Oklahoma, not get that perk too?

I don't know of any right off. I will PM the info to you when I get home and get a hold of his business card.

I have a cousin who just graduated law school in 2012 or 2011. He went to Baylor. He had been in the military and after the military he was a police officer for several years. He decided one day that he didn't make enough money doing that but loved it so he just figured he would expand on it to...

I was wondering if it would be any good. I will have to rent it and watch it.

Master Mason is the top. Once you are raised to Master Mason you cannot be anything higher. It does not matter that in the Scottish Rite they number up to the 33°, you will never be higher than a Master Mason. Just because someone finishes all the SR degrees and YR degrees it doesn't make him a...

Best of luck to you on starting this journey. I would recommend maybe trying to go to the lodges in your area and visiting with them. Try each one and see where you feel like you fit in best. It gives them the opportunity to get to know you and you them. Plus, it is a lot more likely to get the...
