By the way I have always found it mystical the way a campfire can whisper wisdom in your ear if you sit with it long enough! I would love to join one of those campfire sessions in the future!
I have read something along these lines before except they said eating the apple transformed us from our vegetable soul to our animal spirit. When in the vegetable state we are in total peace with GOd because he provided all we needed without the polluting of self awarness and this vegetable...
GM Master Counts spent a ton of money from his own pocket so the budget looks like money was not used but in actuality it was used it ws just RW Counts money he donated to help out. Counts wanted a balanced budget and spent his own money like crazy to achieve it. Most of those line items like...

Yes blood donations does credit his medical bill $50 dollars a unite if I am right. Josh do you know the acct.# and details on that. By the way next Monday the 13th we are having a Christmas party which Santa is coming so bring the kids and we will raffle off the computer. This event start at...
I always thought it reffered to those at labor when Grand Lodge was open which means the Grand SW would be represented in that term since he is the "general" in charge when at labor as well as all the masons at work under his leadership.
You are right the increase is not due till 2012, June I think it is? So we have a year and a half to get ready for it.
The Endowments will get a dispursment sometime in the near future. 4/5ths of the Grand West had to approve it being discussed and voted on but itt happened
This has been great discussion and insight my brothers and we did a good thing today passing the increase IF we follow up with the proper rules and regs. to see the money is spent proper to increase our mystic as Texas Masons not hols the status quo.
I was not sure if it had been posted that Jerry Martin was elected to the Grand South. Congrats RW Jerry Martin.
By the way the other GRand Lodge formed in Texas was not in Brazoria COunty but Brenham County. Sorry my Brethren.
I also heard there was great discussion about the cable tow...
PGM Reece Harrison was masterful in his presentation of the asking for full recognition from the Grand Lodge formed in Brazoria county from the Grand Lodge formed in Harris County, wink wink. ;)
The Grand West would have nothing to do with lessening the memory work. Many speaches where given in favor for the resolutin and where met with great applause, some standing. Our Grand Lodge will in no time soon do away with memory work in regards to the Q&A. :) It was neat to learn we have...
Brother Bill you did more than you can imagine for this craft today! Cheers My Brother Cheers!
M Boyd Patterson gave me goose bumps with the intensity of his oration in support of this resolution.
p.s. I am curious to know what counsel Brother Glassgow whispered to you!
Just got word that my amendmenst are a no go for this year. I was told 1-3 of my amendments where not germane to the subject matter of the Grand Masters Recommendation. I had thought since this all had to do with per capita payment it would fly but I now know it has to be more specific than...
I know Brother Coach as soon as I read my post asking for a t-shirt I said, "Self, that is totally not what a Retrosexual would wear" My first reaction was then to edit the post but then I thought that covering my tracks to try and look cool was so "Metrosexual" so I called my self out in...
You are not disagreeing with me Brother I feel the same way. I wish the whole 14.25 did go to charity and maybe it will in the end but right now I know we have a better chance at a snow ball fight in hell than do away with all of our money in per capita to charity. To many feel Freemasonry is...
nice post Brother Coach and I feel you are right many amendments have been made to the ritual to make it "fit" better in society which did hide some secrets deeper. I have always felt the checkered pavement represented more than just evil acts or evil people. Many things that we find in life...
