    Symbol?

    A few years back I went on a work trip to Washington DC with a guy who was a mason. At the time I was interested and had yet to become one. Each day after work we ran out to do quick tourist trips. Through out the entire time I was pointing things out asking, is that a masonic symbol ? I...

    Should the history channel have done a show on freemasons.

    Brothers, This show or one like it is what lit the fire under my poor blind butt. What I saw was a negative slant on free masonry. I was already interested in the craft but knew nothing of it. The show I saw on the History Channel at least opened it up a bit and I really never believed or...

    The Most Important Masonic Speech You Need to Hear.

    I am a newly raised MM just being raised this year. Not being one to stand by and go with the flow I have expressed my reasons for becoming a mason and my concerns for not seeing it practiced. There has been some progress in doing more social gatherings outside of a formal lodge in two parts...

    Nervous???

    The answer to your nerves is within the work you are turning in.

    Where were you?

    I was at work on patrol in South Texas. (US Border Patrol) Heard it happening on the FM radio. One of my co-workers (who is/was from Lower Manhattan NY) was working on patrol a few miles down river of my location. I used the service radio and asked her if she was listening to the FM radio. She...

    Fish Fry - Sam B. Crawford #1418

    I wish I had seen this earlier. New Caney is my home town and I have been trying to get my father to contact your lodge for some time now. He has been inactive for a LONG time. He was initiated, passed and raised in California. Now that he is retired it would be a good way for him to spend his...

    Sponsoring Local Sports Teams

    Granted I am a newbie, but the way I see it a lodge may give money but may not recieve any name recognition or advertisment in return. The featured article about advertising on this web site answered some questions for me and gave me a real good understanding about the concept...

    Completing the work after initiation.

    I think that the biggest problem is working through the GL. I'll just let my leadership deal with it. I was just probing for other ideas or experiences. Thanks.

    Completing the work after initiation.

    Let me throw another a monkey wrench into the engine room of this scenerio. What if a brother was a MM of another state and wishes to become a member of my lodge in Texas ? Here is the wrinkle, his old out of state lodge closed and the charter was moved to another lodge 200 miles away. All...

    Fed employees make more than private sector

    No offense taken. It just gets me all riled up when discussions like this get started and a lot of misinformation is stated along the way. Through our back and forth I believe that we 99% agree with each other and have put out a pretty good picture of the facts. Thanks for the help. That...

    Fed employees make more than private sector

    Please enlighten me brother. What would you compare the job of a Border Patrol Agent with ? BPA's are Fed employees. While your at it can you tell me what the job description and duties of a Border Patrol Agent are ? I believe we are on the same sheet of music on comparisons. (*** "All...

    One Day Classes

    I just completed part one of my EA. I will soon turn in my part 2 & 3. I can tell you that each and every time I have sat down with a MM to practice my work I have gotten something out of it. Each session has made the what, how and why's more and more clear just through the memory work. I do...

    Fed employees make more than private sector

    Yes I have checked their wages. I check the wage of a Border Patrol Agent every two weeks when I get paid. I'm sorry for the leading questions but it really was not directed at you. I have friends that work for the local PD, SO and DPS and my pay is higher than all of them. Not bragging just...

    Fed employees make more than private sector

    Then you believe that US Border Patrol Agents, Customs and Border Protection Officers and ICE Special Agents should be paid less then the local PD Officers and Sheriff's Deputies in their respective communities ?

    Dan Brown's 'Lost Symbol' moves forward

    I read an article that after the book and movie dust settles that he is interested in becoming a mason.

    Hello from Eagle Pass, Texas

    I am an EA and am just about ready for my FC. I really have enjoyed my experiences and Masonic education thus far. My Lodge has really seen a flood of petitions recently and from what I'm told there is a lot of excitment to work with us EA/FC's and really get our Lodge more involved in the...
