It's been a while

Hello Brothers and Companions! It's been a while since I've been on the site due to my activity in Masonry and work. Since last I've posted, I have joined York Rite and currently I am a Royal Arch Mason at Ancient Temple Chapter No. 5 Albany, NY. My petitions for Council and Commandery have been accepted. I go for RM 2/13/15 and SM 3/13/15. My Commandery degree(s) [as I'm not sure if all will be conferred in one day or spread out] is scheduled for 3/28/15. I am particularly excited for the Order of the Temple Degree as everyone says it's one of the most beautiful rituals but reading through a few posts on here regarding uniforms has me a tad bit worried now. Is anyone familiar with Commanderies in NY? Are they real sticklers for having your own uniform immediately after joining? It may take me a while to scratch up enough to complete the uniform to the T especially with all my other dues and bills I have going on. Do you think this should be a major concern or am I thinking about it too much? Thank you.

Congratulations on your continued journey my fellow Companion. A great deal of Light is dispensed in these degrees and it takes a while to absorb. BTW, in the Commandery it is Orders, not Degrees. Takes a little getting used to.

Thank you Companion. I can't wait to take part in these Orders. You're right that is going to take some getting used to lol
