I will pass it along, Brother...thanks again. http://www.masonsoftexas.com/newreply.php?p=66583&noquote=1

Brother, That is great! Do you have the name of a contact or should he just look up Volt? I appreciate your help! Fraternally, Jason

Brethren, My Brother-in-law (a non-Mason) is moving to Austin in the next few months and hopes to get into the video game industry. Are there any Brothers on here that are in that industry or might have some contacts that he can get in touch with? Any help/advice is appreciated. Your...

You are most welcome Brother. I hope they helped.

Brother Wood, I completely understand your feelings here. I have experienced similar situations where I felt somewhat out of place in Lodge. This should be seen, in my opinion, as a reflection upon human nature and not necessarily just Masonry. Your expectation of being welcomed as an old...

http://www.thesanctumsanctorum.com/ http://www.researchmasonry.com/network/index.php?action=login These are both great sites. TSS is great for discussion and perspective. Research Masonry is great for Masonic literature and so on. I have found it to be helpful to go back and forth. Read...

While I understand where you are coming from Brother, I do not fully agree with you here. Admittedly, I did not understand much if any of the lectures given to me after each degree and was frustrated at the time by my lack of understanding. However, since then I have found that the lack of...

First of all, kudos to you for caring. I am often surprised/disappointed by Brother Masons that do not put their families first. I read a great story once about a man who spent his final days in regret because he had spent the majority of his life away from his family “becoming a better...

A lapel pin. Small, but very meaningful. It was given to me when I was raised by my mentor. He told me that it was given to him nearly 30 years ago by his Father-in-law and was the first Masonic item that he was ever given, so he wanted it to be my first as well. I never go to Lodge without...

While I agree with the majority of this post, I do not agree with actively promoting our good works. We do what is right because it is right, not because of a need for recognition. I think that you will find that people will have a much greater respect for the man who does a good deed and...

I would turn your question around. If you enjoy the teachings of MPH and seek to start a journey towards "the mysteries", then why would you not want to join a Lodge?

Light out of darkness. This is significant in all three Blue Lodge degree rituals for obvious reasons....

I wrote this after my first time conducting a candidate as Senior Deacon.

Light He made his way through the forest in a calm but determined manner. The full moon sent rays of light shooting between the branches of the trees that stood like massive guardians of the worn path that he now found himself on. He had no idea where he was going or even why. He had left his...

Yes. We do all of our business in the first meeting. Our second meeting is for degree work or whatever else we have to do....works out nice...

Though I can't speak in detail (as I have no in depth knowledge of the subject), would it be an Alchemical reference?

In my lodge we have a stated business meeting each month (1st Thursday) and a non-business meeting (2nd Thursday). All of the mundane is usually talked in the business meeting. This frees up time to do almost anything in the second meeting. Does your lodge do something similar? If so, what...

Perhaps this is a regional difference in terminology. In Ohio, we have both due guards and signs for each degree.

While I would not return the sign, I find your virtuous perspective very honorable.

Speculating here, Brother.....but does it distinguish between operative and speculative Masons?
