Bro. Benjamin,
This is what we have done. Many of us are contributing more to OUR Lodge, than anything other than Church. We are making some progress, in getting things moving forward once again. I have had my S.D. with me many times, when I visit a Brother, someone with the City, or any...
Welcome Brother King. If traveling East on U.S. 79, there are few of us in Robertson County who will be more than happy to extend a hand to you.
Botex, you are in a good area of the State for Freemasonry. You show Aggieland as your location, which leads me to think you are just S. of me, and...
Bro. Bruce,
In Texas, there is a process called Deferred Adjudication. Even if someone has been charged, arrested, and convicted, but is given Deferred Adjudication, it does not show as a conviction. They are also told that it is NOT a conviction by most Judges, Probation Officers, and...
The best thing I can tell you, is to remember what was told you when you knocked upon the door for each Degree :-) I have been excited about Masonry, probably more than many. I was all set to do what I was asked or needed to do in our Lodge. My 1st year, I was S.D. Was not yet sure of what all...
Now, don't be too harsh or upset, this included Jewels too..... :-)
Yeah, one Brother said there was a "Lot of Fluff" in the budget, and I am sure there is. It does need to be looked at, and trimmed some. There was something like $25,000.00 budgeted for something, and only $6000.00 used last...
On the Charter situation, that is exactly what LJ, Rene' and I were saying, and we were way across from the rest of you. That shows, there was a lot of the same thoughts, with no discussion or direct connection at the time. We thought, had he started with an apology of some sort, it would have...
Bro. Rhit,
Maybe we should keep an eye out for those in need of blood, cells, platelets etc over this next year, and setup some way we can help out from over the entire State. Also, how about having a Blood Drive at or near Grand Lodge next year. I don't know if they can or will help sponsor...
As I laid awake last night, not able to go to sleep (again), I started to think about Freemasonry, the so called Mystical Powers, and the Mysteries of such.... As many know, Texas will be having our Grand Communication this week. Some started today (Thursday), Friday, and Saturday.
As many...
If there is a way I can help with blood, or replacement for that used, let me know. I can get to Bryan or College Station, and use one of the centers there. I am AB+ which used to be like Gold :-)
I often say this Group is like a "Virtual Lodge", in that we can have fellowship, learn to work...
Bro. Rhit, I just found this today (I've gotta spend more time on the Forum!!). I will try to make a purchase or donation of some sort. Work is S-L-O-W right now, but I LOVE to help others, especially a Brother. I applaud you and the others for stepping up, and doing this, it shows WE are a...
I just posted a Thread in the Quarry about this... Should have read a little farther first :-)
Bro LJ Linson (S.W. Golden Rule 361), and Rene' Ferrell (S.W. Patrick in Franklin) will be there, and I'll be with them. I'll leave LJ's number, so you can call and let us know where you are. Oh, and...
ANy chance you might consider brining the Jewels, and Aprons to GL?? I'll be there with the S.W., and those are two items we've been discussing, but have not had the funds available yet. Our Jewels are old, but polish up nicely. We have no Aprons, other the regular White cloth one's. We'll have...
I agree with Brother Rhit. We do need to make some changes at all levels. This year, we increased our dues by $10.00. First time any one could actually remember it being done. I had to be the bad guy... But, we sent out post cards ahead of time informing everyone, and asking them to come to...
It's kind of like if you are licensed in Kentucky, and drive in Texas and get a ticket. You are "obligated" to pay that ticket. If you don't, Texas will contact Kentucky. If Kentucky is a member of the Violator Compact (which they are), they will make you pay the ticket, or refuse to renew your...
Congratulations Brother Randy. You still have some road to travel, but remember, you are not traveling alone, nor are you traveling an untraveled road. Each one of us have gone the same way before you :-)
