    Country and City Lodges

    I consider my lodge a country lodge, we meet in blue jeans and polo's for the most part. This year the officers are all wearing identical long sleeve button shirts with the lodge name and officer name embroidered and blue jeans. I suspect over the next few years some of the officers will...

    What does the "Beehive" symbolize?

    For added reflection (sorry for stirring up a old thread) Utah Emblem and Motto The Beehive and word "industry" became the official motto and emblem for Utah on March 4, 1959. Industry is associated with the symbol of the beehive. The early pioneers had few material resources at their...

    Passed!.....But no FC yet.

    All things in due time. Congratulations on your EA and once you have attained Fellowcraft spend time reflecting upon the many things talked about. Sometimes as a FC, we(been there, done that, and have the shirt) get focused on the memory work and not the many lessons contained within. Since I...

    Another Apron Question

    I'm going a bit off the masonic Jurisprudence issue and into my opinion on decorated aprons. I'm by no means a wealthy individual, however I have quiet a few friends who have artistic abilities. I would love the ability to lay out what I want and have a friend do it on a Apron. To me it...

    texas wildfires

    Just so it is in perspective, while some of us haven't seen the fires in Texas due to location, fires have consumed more land then the size of Connecticut. CT will fit in Texas approximately 48.5 times. My numbers may be off but I'm trying to put things in perspective for those hearing about...

    Hoarders--Lodge edition

    We had this discussion a couple weeks ago at our lodge, seems we have collected quite a few things over the years. Part of it we are planning on keeping for historical reason but have decided we will be going through everything in the near future to determine what should be kept or not. One of...

    No Women in the Frat but Could we Share our Rituals

    I'll bite on this, if we are truely one in flesh(Mind and Spirit) then I guess she should have a recollection of what went on and if she has forgotten then who am I to cause her to remember. I'm not married and if I do ever get married then she will have to make a determination before we are...

    GM Edict, Widows Sons Masonic Motorcycle Riders Association

    The difference from my understanding is that to be a member of this organization you must be a Master Mason, therefore making it masonic affiliation. The discussion I've heard has always centered around the patch and the fact that it had a scantly clad woman. Thus not something the Grand Lodge...

    Going to give it a try

    I own a company with my dad and mom. My dad was very encouraging of my masonic travel due to people he knows while my mother was extremely anti-Masonry. This is how I handled it. I turned in my petition and then sat down with mom. While I didn't need approval (I was 28 at the time), I...
