Hey guys! It has been years since I was active on this site. Planning to get back into it again. It's nice to see a lot of the names I remember from 2009.
When I joined this site, I had been an EA for about a week. Now, I am a 32nd degree Past Master, the new secretary of my lodge, and I have been to lodges in 50 states and more than half a dozen countries. I want you all to know that the reception offered me here on this site 8 years ago played a major role in my vigor for freemasonry in those early days. To an 18 year old guy, the fraternity was looking rather...outdated. Finding this website gave me hope that there was reason to put time into things and help to advance our fraternity forward into time. I've done that as much as possible. I have operated our lodge website for a couple years and it has become something of a historical library for the Waco area and McLennan County. Museums and other organizations now contact me/the lodge when doing research or events that require historical information for the area. We are making masonry relevant in many other ways too. If I hadn't been inspired by the hopeful nature of this website 8 years ago, I may not have spent as much time as I have in the Craft. So thanks Blake Bowden and all the rest of you!
