    Joining the York Rite today

    I'm pretty happy there aren't any pics of my face during the Past Master degree! Thank goodness for the protection we get from being tiled! ;^)

    Joining the York Rite today

    I think you're going to enjoy the degrees! I don't know how big your class will be, but hopefully you'll get to be the exemplar for at least one degree. Congrats on starting the next leg of your Masonic journey! A long day full of light awaits you- enjoy!

    A rotating Grand Lodge?

    I'm just going by what I saw going on behind the scenes last time I was in Waco. You may be right, but the staff was very busy making things happen for the officers and attendees alike. Like I said, just my thoughts and I appreciate your point of view.

    A rotating Grand Lodge?

    Their entire support infrastructure is there in Waco- printing, databases, contact phone numbers, staff, wardrobe etc. I'd hate to think of the cost of uprooting the equivalent of a medium-sized business and moving it (out and back) every other year or so. You should see everything going on...

    Sorry to hear about your experience, but I'm glad it hasn't affected your attraction to Masonry. Good luck on your journey and follow your heart!

    Freemasonry Books

    I would suggest going by a lodge and talking to some of our brethern. This will give you the additional insight of what Masonry means to individual Masons.

    Masonic Paintings

    Amazon.com has some. You may have to try various keywords searches, but its there. I found it by accident searching on books. Just keep trying variations of masonic, mason, freemason, and freemasonry. Mix those with variations on art, art work, artistic, and so forth. Like I said, I found them...

    Raised this Morning

    Congratulations Brother! I think you will enjoy the York Rite degrees as well. I recommend participating in or watching the Blue Lodge degrees and listen to the story closely. Your York Rite degrees will have even more meaning if you are familiar with the story you began when you took your EA...

    Lousy Masonic Facebook Pages

    I know what you mean... I try to log in and check my York Rite page every day for "house cleaning" and end up un-friending someone or deleting wall posts once or twice a week. I also use my personal page to "monitor" it. Gotta manage it if you're gonna set it up- IMHO.
