I married a wonderful West Texas Gal and her Granfather was a Mason. He was a wonderful man, and the more I was around him, I started to remember that 2 of my uncles had been Mason's. They were wonderful men also. Then I started to notice that the men that I came across, that are Masons have that, undiscribable quality about them. It is hard to describe a Mason. There are so many good qualities, and many are hidden. But they are all wonderful men.
My wife's Grandfather passed away, and at his funeral, the Masons performed his ceremony. Before passing he told my wife that he sure wished I would become a Mason. She told me this after his funeral. That was the tipping point for me. I had to become a Mason.
I joined the John Sayles #1408 in Abilene Texas. I will be giving my FC exam Monday, Mar 23rd, and will be raised to MM on the 30th of March.
I asked 3 days ago if I could be on the "Funeral Committee" hoping to be a part of that ceremony. I was informed that not only can I be a part of the committee, I can be in charge of the committee, come June. That makes me so happy, just being able to give back to the members on their last day on this earth.
I love this organization. I now see why my wife's Grandfather was a happy go lucky man.
Thank you for your time.
