Hello my Brethren, it's been a while since I've been on the site. Lots going on here at home, and work. I see some of the posts from the site on FB, and a few Brothers are my FB Friends. I hope all are well, and enjoying Freemasonry, whether a new EA, or and OLD MM :-)

As so many others, I am officially a Past Master now. I have discovered some of the really cool things about it already. One being that the Rocker, and $5.00 gets my supper at all Stated Meetings. If I still go to GL, I still have a vote. As PM, I was immediately made Secretary for ONE year. I...

N5XMV located between Hearne and Franklin, Tx. Seems like I was licensed in 1990 or 1991. Had a Novice ticket in the 60's and gave up on Ham Radio while in the service. Never thought about it anymore until the late 80's. Had a few minor issues with V.N., and just wasn't ready for a lot of things...

I have already come across the issue of one Lodge accepting when another didn't. The problem was that the Petitioner had stepped on some toes in that area. Though he had lived in that area ALL his life, and he had family who were Brothers, a group had gathered in order to keep the younger one...

You Grunts keep fighting among yourselves. The USAF is taking care of the ladies while ya'll are having at it :-)

As a USAF Vet, and a WM (will be PM by the time to vote), I will definitely support this. My SW is also a Vet and will be WM by the vote. We have a friend in another Lodge here who is also a Vet and will be WM, so there will be plenty of us from Booger County to help vote it through. We do not...

I am sorry to hear this. Bro. Chris is from near my "Old" hometown in Indiana. I will have to send a post to another Brother chastising him for not letting me know about this personally... OK, I won't chastise him, but will ask if he knows yet. Thanks for the info. Hippie...

We had been taking a copy to the bank as many have said, but this year, we started writing up a Resolution as Bro. Bill said, and they accept it. This is a bank known pretty much across the State, but is not outside the State. They get a little cranky at times, but we've always been OK with...

A Brother in Lodge last night stood, and gave a report on his Granddaughter and her treatment in Dallas. She had been to several Docs about pain in her hip and legs. Finally one found that the right side of the pelvis was growing wrong, but refused to try to fix it. No one else would try. He...

As I recall, there was a Resolution this past Grand Communication concerning the Cypher Book, and the GLoTx producing and selling it exclusively. It was voted down, or disqualified. I don't see the GL really searching for profitable things to do, except to keep expecting the Lodges to send more...

I have not given up on either son becoming a Mason, I just hope they don't so as so many others do, and wait until the witness the Masonic Service... I have met many who waited until then, and petitioned, as they felt it was a good thing towards their Dad or Granddad. Unfortunately, most of them...

Consider I was OLD when I started (all of 56!!!) My Instructor and I met every evening after I got off work at his house. We studied for 30 minutes - 2 hours. It was not just solid hammer time on the long nights, but I really enjoyed the work, was able to learn pretty quick, and made it through...

Several of us on here are members of FMRC, but I don't know if anyone is WS. I personally prefer to NOT wear something "risque" in public while supporting Texas Freemasonry. My preference... I also read in tne statement posted at who they are, it was " The Widows Sons are an independent group of...

When I find a good website, I add it to a list I provide the members each month who want one. It has the URL's for this Forum, as well as many others. Not all have computers as was noted above, but many times one of us will print out info we think others might like, and bring it in. All in all...

Brethren, it is with heavy heart I once again announce the passing of a Brother from Golden Rule Lodge. We have lost several this year. Brother William Houston Sr. laid down his Working Tools today. I spoke with his Grandson Wm.III, and the family has requested a Masonic Service. Bro. Houston...

I have the obituary info from the Bryan Eagle on Mrs. DeHart, and is as follows: "Idabell DeHart, 73, of Franklin, passed away Tuesday, January 4, 2011 in Houston. Services are set for 10 a.m. Friday, January 7, at Memorial Funeral Chapel in Bryan. Interment will follow in Bryan City Cemetery...

You should get info with your membership to login to the Members Section on the FMRC website. They will have a listing there, and a place to post the question. I will try to look here in a little bit, and see if there is anything near you. Most seem to be in the Austin area, and on down to the...

Brother Preston, In the mean time, you might get a Facebook page up and going. It's pretty simple, and effective for the immediate areas. We have one for Golden Rule Lodge #361 in Hearne. I and other Brothers can post things we are planning, and information on getting in touch and so on. This...

WIngnut does this I know, and our Departed Brother Petcock also did it. That's how I met him...
