That's great! It won't be long now until your raising! The time will fly by quickly...better start picking out rings!

Adds? No adds here. Perhaps your mobile device has some malware on it?

How many of your GLs use short form for candidate proficiency exams? What are your feelings towards the shortened version? Do you think it diminishes or cheapens the masonic experience?

That's what I was thinking. I'm hoping they're as impressive as my lodge when it comes to ritual. My boys are on point!

I was passed this pasted Monday. Thats when I found out that my Master Mason degree will be performed by the Grand Lodge's "Gold Collar Team" at the end of February. I'm curious to know if anyone has any experience with this or can further elaborate on what this means.

Whoa, you're not the only one! I would have found a spot somewhere for it!

I wonder how many of us would actually buy lodge furniture if we saw it at a yard sale.

Indeed it is. I've never gotten into the "Call of Duty" franchise for some reason. Almost any other FPS I'm all about, though.

Lol, I guess not! Although, I do rock Destiny from time to time. Anyone that wants to, go ahead and add me: osketcho

The meeting was dropped down to EA prior to my admittance into the lodge room. They were very accommodating and wanted to include me, even if it was for a short time.

I find it incredibly interesting how everyone has such a widely different experience when it comes to the initiation process. It must have been an overwhelming feeling to have your father officiate your MM degree. I would expect it to be one of your fondest memories, and for good reason...

dfreybur, I was hoping to surprise my friend at his initiation, too! Great story too! I'm sure your friend appreciated all the effort too.

I can empathize with your experience, pointwithinacircle2. I would have loved for someone to have gone that far out of their way. That does speak volumes to not only the fraternity, but to your character as well.

I have recently come into Freemasonry on my own. I didn't know a single mason. I have taken this journey solo. Everything was new to me and exciting. The research, the process of petitioning....THE WAITING!!!! I didn't have the "inside scoop" to know as to when my petition was read, or when...

That's great news! Do you have a date yet?
