We go deeper into where the California Masonic Ritual came from and if it has developed any further since then.
Let's learn even more about how our brethren have worked to get some sort of semblance of a unified ritual.
Who did they assign to overlook the ritual?
How much money did they spend?
Why would they feel the need to have a unified system of ritual work throughout the state?

In part 3 of this series, Brother Jeff Bayer and I finish up an article published in 1964 by the Past Grand Master of Indiana called "Whither Are We Traveling?"
We cover:
The Puritan Influence on American Masonry. NO ALCOHOL IN THE LODGE!!! Freemasonry should be made over to fit what the Moose Lodge is and make it easier. No F@#ing WAY! The Casual Living of the Day The Over Emphasis on Togetherness! DEI!!!?We share some of our experiences working in the quarries of the Symbolic Blue Lodge and ask if any of what Dwight L. Smith said is still relevant.
Ultimately, you have to ask yourselves:
Why does some of this sound familiar? Was this always the case? When did this start to happen? Who is to blame for the state of masonry? What can we do to correct course and make masonry worth continuing?Write to me and let's discuss this article more in-depth at:

Jeff Bayer and I delve into some Grand Lodge of California history and learn some history. Some of it we believe was romanticized a bit and some of it was left for the reader to decipher.
We a four-book series called One Hundred Years of Freemasonry in California. This book set came out in 1950 celebrating the one hundredth anniversary.
As Bayer and I finish reading the chapter called "Organization of Grand Lodge" we share our insights, comments, and opinions on the matter.
Join us as we ask questions and learn more.

This interview has been long overdue. Brother Jason E. Reichenberg from Texas reached out to me on January 17th, 2024.
Brother Reichenberg is the Senior Warden of Victory Lodge in Texas and if all goes well will sit in the east next year.
What he said was that he had lost 55 pounds and that he attributed it the Freemasonry.
Life happens, you get a new job, you get married, you begin to focus on making more money, and the next thing you know you're 60lb. overweight.
How do you get the weight off and keep it off, especially after 40?
Don't rely on one thing to lose weight effort discipline working tools of Freemasonry - the common gavel and the twenty-four-inch gauge the alchemy of fat into muscle - 4 elements of earth, fire, water & air set goals deal with setbacks and pain what happens at lodge masonic education at every meetingFollow me at Masonicmsucle@instagram

We as Masons are told to adopt a prudent and well-regulated course of discipline in all we do so that we can show honor to God by honing our talents and using them for the greater glory of ourselves and God.
Texas Grand Lodge Communication has come and gone they still have a lot of work to do.
I read a few paragraphs from a book called " The Beer Option" by R. Jared Stuart.
Many Masons love their beer, and you can't deny it. Raise a toast to all the Brothers across the world. HERE'S TO YOU BROTHERS!

As our lodge continues to work toward getting our charter back, the present Grand Master came down for our January stated meeting.
After business was conducted the Grand Master was given the floor and proceeded to answer any questions the brethren had.
Once this was done, the Grand Master gave us the blueprint for how to get our charter back.
Why do we need an AGL???
