Good evening, from Tennessee

Hello, everyone. I've been lurking for a few days, but figured I'd take the time to introduce myself.

I'm currently a Fellowcraft hailing from Tennessee. I'm set to be raised to MM later this month, and absolutely cannot wait for the experience.

I tend to lurk a lot, but this seems like a pretty cool place to get advice and differing opinions from around the globe. Thanks everyone for having me!

Welcome, and thanks for saying hello. Feel free to engage, or continue lurking if that suits you.

Oh wow, you're out there in the prettier part of TN. Sadly, I've only been that far east in TN when I was a child to spend a week in the Smoky Mountains.

Thanks. I was having a friendly jab conversation with the GM the other day. He said, "Man, y'all need to move to civilization." I responded, "Uhhh, you live in Obion."

I'm extremely new to all of this. The GM of TN GL is from Obion? That's really cool. I spent a lot of time hunting in the hills up there when I was younger.

Greetings and welcome to the forum Brother. Let us know what you though of your Raising.

Sorry for just getting around to reply. I was raised last Monday, April 24th. I won't go into any details because of my obligation, but that part I'm sure a lot of you know what I'm talking about. WOW. It was a great event with many in attendance, and I was deeply humbled again at all the hard work that the brothers put in for not only my MM, but all three as well.

I was very fortunate to be able to attend a MM degree this previous Saturday in Denmark, TN. The degree was held in a church that has some really interesting Civil War and Masonic History. If I'm remembering correctly, it was the first degree held there since 1891. There was a HUGE turnout, and although it was very hot upstairs in the lodge room with fans going, I was able to soak in even more of the MM degree.

Here is a page talking about the building: http://bigblackcreekhistorical.com/17denmark_presbyterian_church_and_masonic_lodge__154

Congratulations. I saw this degree posted and would have loved to have come, but it was just too far that weekend. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
