So I come from a pretty long line of Master Masons, Scottish Rite 32 degree Masons, and Shriners. The thing is I'm in love with the Blue Lodge. I mean, it just does "it" for me. I'm very active and go to our education classes every week, attend every stated meeting, and every extra meeting for degrees. I was raised in November and have just been appointed as Senior Master of Ceremonies. Exciting!! Plus, I've been given the honor of doing some extra stuff during degrees. Anyway, I love doing memorization and doing things that will make me a better Mason.
The thing is a few family members are on me to join an appendant body like Scottish Rite or The Shriners. Truth is, I'm just not THAT into it right now. My heart is with Blue Lodge. My father would love for me to become a Shriner. He's getting older and I feel I ought to do it so that we can share in that together. But I don't think I'd be able to devote myself to it entirely. The only thing that makes me want to join is so that we can wear fezzes together and carry on the tradition (My grandfather was a Shriner for 75 years). I also feel bad about not wanting to seek more light in Masonry. I mean, Scottish Rite sounds cool, but, like I said, I'm not ready for it. In fact, York Rite seems to be more in my wheelhouse than Scottish.
Ahhh, sorry about rant.
