Last night at District School of Instruction I was examined on the emulation of the Master Mason Degree, had my name entered in the book of those authorized to confer the Sublime Degree of Master Mason and cleared the final hurdle to be approved to Run for Worshipful Master of my Lodge.
The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania has a requirement that to be Worshipful Master you must be approved on Business of the Lodge and either the EA and FC Degrees OR the MM Degree. DDGMs, however are permitted to require all 3 degrees to be approved and this is the case in my District.
I must admit I was very nervous going in. I have been studying the Degree for months with a PM from our Lodge. It was remarkable to me that over the past month I could rattle it off in front of the mirror at home, but when I worked with the PM I would forget words and stumble along. Luckily my brain connected with my mouth fairly well last night and I only struggled with a few words.
That was a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders!
