Good call there Brother Rhit. The C.O.W. would recommend any changes which would probably do away with certain parts and possibly add others, to the Grand Lodge , and the members of the Grand Lodge would have to vote to ratify it and make it become Law.
Nice conclusion there Brother Red.
I often wonder how our minds sometimes get so closed to the possibilities that exist.
How can we as masons enjoy close fellowship with each other, disregard (usually) any discussion concerning religion and politics, and still have problems with each other?
The reason that the names must stay under wraps every year is because it would be a discourtesy to the present DDGM in the District. Each year when the new Deputies are trained during July, August, and September, they are instructed to remain silent until Grand Lodge, except that they usually...
NO ONE brother has the wisdom to do what is right for every lodge, BUT that is why the Grand Lodge is made up of thousands of brothers, just like you and me. We are all supposed to take a look at our brothers in the rural areas and the lodges in the metropolitan areas, and the lodges in-between...

I understand your statement. I am however very much enthused by the fact that our lodges are beginning to see some youth. The input of some of the guys who post here certainly make me believe that our brotherhood is coming back to life. I do like to see a well dressed lodge, but the best part...
Some times the guys who appear to be goofing off are really the most attentive. I am not one to worry about if a brother is texting, playing games, or just plain day dreaming. He has shown an effert to appear at a Masonic meeting and I appreciate his attendance.
Congratulations Brother, what a moving story. I wish the best of everything to your son. It sounds as if he will be one who will contribute to our great fraternity in a positive way.
