Initial Post ny Brother Rapier:
Brethren, the roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of the Craft and with them he has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use. His labors here below have taught him to divest his heart and conscience of the vices and superfluities of life, thereby fitting his mind as a living stone for that spiritual building — that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Strengthened in his labors here by faith in GOD, and confident of expectation of immortality, he has sought admission to the Celestial Lodge above.
Brother Chester Finley was a Great Member of Southern Star Lodge #500. His smile, positive attitude and willingness to share his knowledge and friendship with others will never be forgotten. Brother Finley was a DeMolay Dad and member of The Order of the Eastern Star Long Beach Chapter #51...
In addition, Brother Chester was Worshipful Master of Gulfport Lodge #422 and a hard-working member of the Gulfport AASR's refreshments committee.
Please keep the Finley family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult and trying time.

As much as House Republicans do political messaging votes in the House, I don't want to hear Senate Republicans bitch and moan about it in the Senate...

Border bill fails Senate test vote as Democrats seek to underscore Republican resistance Senate Republicans are blocking for a second time a bill to clamp down the number of migrants allowed to claim asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. The bill failed 43-50.
