    For my more seasoned brothers----What would you say?

    Re: For my more seasoned brothers----What would yo My advice to new Brothers when they ask about how to approach this situation is simple. Anything you can think of as being commonly found on decals and such is obviously fair game and easy to remember. "Remember when *this* was a binding...

    This Thursday evening, Waco 92 will be raising one of its members. As usual, all of you are earnestly invited. This time, however, we will be having a most unique visitor. Brother Francois Vaultier from Switzerland will be joining us in the Lodgeroom and I expect many local brethren will be...

    Masonic anecdotes

    I have many, but I'll begin with the one that occurred first in my own life. When I was still very young, about 5 or 6 years old, I was very close to my Papaw. He was my great-grandfather, a helluva character and Army vet. I didn't know it then of course but he was a well-respected Mason in...

    When does man become Mason (Brother)

    I'm in agreement. Not after the obligation though. I like to be more specific. A man becomes brother UPON taking the obligation. It's a simultaneous occurrence.

    So, Today In Lodge

    Ah yes Brother. I'm very glad you enjoyed the meal. I'm very busy with school so preparation time is lacking. I'm unable to serve as good as a meal as I'd like, but as long as brethren such as yourself are satisfied, then so too am I! When does Turkey meet?

    Masons and the Military

    Brother Nick, thanks for your service. And thanks also for your input. There we have it folks, directly from an active soldier. Not only should this happen, but there are plenty of capable men to make it happen. In fact, this might be a way to ignite a spark in Texas Freemasonry. Looking back in...

    So, Today In Lodge

    Brother Dave, I'm now certain I know you. I'm the young fella usually toiling in the kitchen. Your visits are always warmly accepted... Without further ado as I sit in the Lodge building... "At a meeting in December 1900 an announcement was read before the lodge which seemed to breathe a fresh...

    So, Today In Lodge

    Right on. I didn't realize there would actually be reasonable interest in this. I'll post what the book tells later this evening!

    Where Have Our Widows Gone?

    The beginning of your post saddens me greatly. Perhaps, in light of your own exposure, you can lead the way in your Lodge in the support of its widows.

    Where Have Our Widows Gone?

    I'm digging up old posts, but thought I'd share this... Waco 92 has a tradition of delivering poinsettias to every widow of our Lodge come Christmas time. It's really a great pleasure to participate. Also, we try to take care of our widows as best we can including building a much needed shed for...

    So, Today In Lodge

    Waco Masonic Lodge No. 92 has in its possession a book reporting the happenings of our lodge in the first 150 years of existence. In it, an account is given regarding the relocation of the Grand Lodge from Houston to Waco as being directly influenced by the fundraising and encouragement of Waco...

    God and the Universe

    Re: Can non-Christians go to Heaven? Some Middle Age philosophers/theologians like Boethius will outline a very curious understanding of "evil." Evil is nothing. To expand on this, it's important to point out that contemporary thought focused on God, god's nature, and in many instances, His...

    Atheists, agnostics most knowledgeable about religion

    I would say this is also a result of the centuries old belief that reason and faith cannot coexist. Now, of course there are great theologians like Aquinas who made considerable impacts and greatly undermined this notion, BUT, the fact remains that as a society, we tend to separate reason and...

    Masons and the Military

    A member at my Lodge was forced to put his fellowcraft degree off for year due to military obligations. This is a very interesting and subject and with Fort Hood being in Texas, it would be fitting for Texas to lead the way in Freemasonry in Iraq and Afghanistan. If anyone has an objection...
