    L.I.F.E. Program

    It's been a few years since I had a look at it, and it was years out of date. When was it last updated?

    Is freemasonry right for me

    The Petition for the Degrees of Freemasonry of the Grand Lodge of Texas contains the following question: Do you seriously declare, upon your honor, that you firmly believe in the existence of God, the immortality of the soul, and the Divine authenticity of the Holy Scriptures? Becoming a...

    Homosexual and Bisexual Brother Masons

    I don't have a problem with a Brother's sexual orientation, nor with the word "gay." Societal norms (as well as language) are always evolving.

    Fraternal Greetings

    Oh, I guess I should have looked at the date. Thanks, Bro. Upton. I'm glad to see that Bro. Gross was healed. The history of Alpha Lodge is fascinating: http://adsmithlor1949.org/Transactions/Volume%202/PDF%20Files/Alpha%20Lodge%20No%20116.pdf

    Fraternal Greetings

    I could not find Baruch Lodge #613 on the website of The Grand Lodge of New York, nor on that of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of New York. Is your Lodge affiliated with the Tyree Grand Lodge?

    Can a woman become a Freemason?

    Although one of the landmarks of mainstream masonry excludes women, I believe that the teachings of Freemasonry (as well as the initiatory process of the Lodge) can benefit mature persons of any gender. Women may join women-only Lodges, as well as co-masonic (male/female) Lodges. These Lodges...

    Oh the French, they are a funny race...

    In the May 30 issue of the New Yorker magazine, http://www.newyorker.com/talk/2011/05/30/110530ta_talk_gourevitch there is a short article about the French view of the arrest of IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Below is an excerpt: Back at the dinner party, guests were engaged in a...

    Masonic License Plates

    Looks like the Grand Lodge may not get all the money it was hoping for if this bill passes: "House Bill 1 and Senate Bill 1278 plan to take 50 percent of all annual specialty plate revenue to attempt to fix the $23 billion budget deficit." http://www.txnp.org/Article/?ArticleID=13353

    Masonic Books

    I've read lots of books about Masonry written by Masons, and have usually been disappointed; many of the books seem to be a re-writing of the Degree Lectures, with no new insights. One of the most useful books I've read is "Freemason's Guide and Compendium" by Bernard E. Jones...

    Plate Update

    According the Texas DMV website: http://www.txdmv.gov/vehicles/license_plates/sponsoring_orgs/faq.htm "If your application is approved, an $8,000 deposit will be required before work on the plate begins. The deposit offsets the initial costs to produce, sell and distribute the plate. We...

    Winter 2011 Texas Mason Magazine

    I don't have a copy of the Grand Lodge Budget at hand, but I recall that this shiny waste of wood pulp eats up 12% of the budget. Someone please tell me that my memory is faulty before I choke on my own rage!
