It's been a long summer of waiting, but the time is nearly upon me.
Assuming my wife doesn't decide to go into labour early, tomorrow night I shall be raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason.
My Father-in-Law will be taking the chair for the evening and I know he's been practicing all summer long along with making sure I'm word perfect in my responses to my questions!

Congrats on the baby and the degree!
Being that i have never been in a UGLE lodge...I got a question....u said "along with making sure I'm word perfect in my responses to my questions" in UGLE lodges you know whats going to be asked in the degree before you take it? or do u have to turn in your FC profeciency before the degree tomorrow?

Thank you!
I think it's a bit different here to how you all do it in the States. There's no proficiency work, just a short list of questions asked just before the actual degree ceremony. There's even helpful prompting from the Junior Deacon (at least when I took my FC) who's stood next to you, should your mind go blank.
I'm sure someone like Glen would be able to explain it better than I, though.

I think i understand...are those questions pertaining to the previous degree? If so then i completely get it...if not then yeah im lost...lol
Yes, they are regarding the prior degrees, and he quite accurately described the process.

Wow, what a night!
Firstly, baby behaved and there were no emergency interruptions!
The ceremony was amazing. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't that! To say I'm in awe would be an understatement.
Following on from that, the Festive Board was full of fellowship and I left feeling truly a part of the family!
