I don't remember what all I said in that post. I was just trying to address the issue of going into appendant bodies quickly after being raised, by talking about my own experience. After reading it, it sounded very much like I was patting myself on the back, so I deleted it. I was unaware that it got sent out in emails.

No problem, I didn't take it that way. I'm 59 and I know that I don't have my life in front of me like when I was 20. Freemasonry was something that I have wanted for a long time, but the time was never quite right. So now the time is right and I am making up for lost time. For me it has been a great decision and I am enjoying spending time with my son. This is a journey we stared together.

When I first started the process of joining, I had all kinds of plans concerning appendent bodies, which I would be joining, and how quickly that could happen. Now, being a little bit further down the road, I can see that way of thinking I originally had was unrealistic and inappropriate (time wise). I have enough on my plate as well as having enough to take my interests and challenge myself. Those bodies will come in due time. Blue Lodge is where I need to be.

Probably not as much as you think. I was raised in August of 2014.I have no doubt, but your a little bit further along than me in regards to time and knowledge.

I figure that knowledge you gain on the Internet is some what true, but the knowledge you gain is gained over time thru Masonic Education within Your Lodge and Masonic Educators. The Bible has some good masonic teachings in some of it's books, Your Ritual has a lot knowledge as well....

Absolutely true! The internet is an invaluable tool for knowledge but you have to be careful. Along with the truth there is a lot of BS out there.

Of course, there is a lot of BS, if you traveled any length of ti,e you should recognize what you read and know what you are reading. You got some Past Master that's full of knowledge but say a word to try to enlighten you, but quick to correct you on one word...

you got to pick and choose your readings....

But the internet can be a useful tool as well. Your Grand Lodges are posting stuff on their sights to reflect what's going on in your jurisdictions and calendar of events and so forth...

Me either.
The only thing that I can think of is: "You got some Past Master that's full of knowledge but won't say a word to try to enlighten you, but is quick to correct you on one wrong word..."
I teach at the college level and I've gotten used to interpreting what students are trying to say. I could be wrong but those seem like the missing words.
