I live in Crowley, TX, literally within walking distance of Lodge #1437, but can find next to nothing about the lodge, it has no website of its own. Is this a dying lodge, there must be a reason I cant find any information on it? I have been researching for 2 weeks about Masonry, learning everything possible. I realize though, I know nothing, having never even met a Mason or set foot in a lodge. My parents are Catholic, and thats how I was raised. I began seeing many problems with the Catholic church itself, I knew that God and Jesus would guide me, but the Catholic church did not seem like the way to go for me.
I recently had a great realization, an epiphany of sorts. With my fiancee threatening to leave me if I didnt change my behavior (Ive made stupid mistakes, no criminal record, but just incredibly dumb things). I realized that I needed to, and wanted to, become someone far better than what I was. I admire great men like Teddy Roosevelt, Abe Lincoln, and John Wayne, who had faults just like any man, but still managed to leave a great legacy after they left this world. I want to do the same, to help people as much as possible, to improve myself as a man by improving the world around me. I see kids my age (Im 22), acting like thugs, uncaring for others, obsessed with the next pop sensation singer, or with getting "***ed up" on booze or drugs. I drink yes, but not to excess. Ive realized a lot in my life. I was raised with good values, and lost them somewhere along the way, but have found them again. I believe Freemasonry can help me better myself, improve my relationships, and, even if not one person remembers my name, I will know that I helped someone in this world.
