Was reading http://www.slate.com/id/2194821/?GT1=38001 Pretty interesting. They said about 500,000 artifacts were excavated at this site on July 2nd. Thought is was interested enough to post on blog.

What is the better Path? Scottish or York
I have been contemplating what is the best continuation of the 3rd degree. I have heard alot about the Scottish rite degrees and the York rite. I am wondering which on seems to be the best continuation.
I read a article that Albert Mackey said the York Rite was not correct because it refered to 3 entrances to the Temple of Solomon which in fact there was only one entrance which was the eastern entrance. This is about as much as I read into it. After reading the York Rite it seems to be the best continuation in my honest opinion. I will have to read more about Scottish Rite to make a better assessment.
Obama For President? Newsweek Masonic Overtone
The latest copy of Newsweek gets pretty interesting; the right hand of the man with his hands around the seal shows what looks to be a Past Masters ring.
The picture above does not do it any justice you really need look at the magazine to see it first hand it makes out to be a Past Masters ring.
I can't wait to hear the conspiracy theorists start the buzz now.
York Rite Petition
I have chosen to go through the York Rite and have filled out my petition to do so. The degrees will be conferred on 2 Saturdays. I am looking forward to seeing and being apart of these degrees to me they closely represent the continuation of the Blue Lodge by reading some the online descriptions of what each degree will mean.
First Meeting and New World Order hype
I attended our first meeting www.Divver.org. The monthly meeting was really nice meeting brothers that I only would see in degree work from time to time and meeting other brothers that I usually did'nt see much. We had a normal business meeting despite having no air condition! Copper theives are really bad in this area for destroying HVAC units for copper. So we are waiting on the insurance company to settle all the paperwork and legal documents for a future replacement. However, even after the business meeting we had voted on some initiates and decided to go dark in July in hopes the air conditioning will be available by then. Since I was raised I have be able to get a ring which I got through an estate sell online Ebay
One thing I would like to mention is the Freemason propaganda and New World Order hype. If we were taking over the world I would like to figure how many business meetings and votes would be needed to do so and to collaborate with the other lodges. lol So anyway they are very fun to read!
Raised to 3rd degree
Last Thursday I was raised to the sublime 3rd degree of a Master Mason. It was the most amazing thing ever! There was an officer from the Grand Lodge there as well which made my open lodge examination a little nerve racking on top of our lodge Air condition being stolen the previous week it was crazy hot. The big thing in our area is copper theft so people are stealing anything like air units and cutting the copper out. Needless to say it was very hot after while. The degree work was awesome and alot of brothers turned out to see me be raised. I can now go to regular meetings and where a ring as well as put on car emblems. I can honestly say other than asking the lord to come into my life and my marriage and daughter being borned that the 3rd most important event in my life was being raised as a master mason! Now the question is how to properly wear a masonic ring I have been reading and wearing my compass points outward facing away from me. I see alot of brothers wearing it facing towards their body. Symbolically I think it should be away from the body while the points of the square face towards the body. Feels good to be a Master Mason!
