When I was in the third grade, my leg was badly burned on a camping trip with my dad, brother, and grandpa. My leg became infected and doctors were afraid they would have to amputate it. I was taken to the
Shriner's burn hospital in Galveston. While there, I was visited by Shriner's and their wifes, clowns, magicians, you name it. It was amazing a thow much they did to make my stay there as positive as possible. It was a scary place and I never forgot their kindness and generosity.
Years later, my grandfather passed away. As a sophmore in college, I gave the euology at the funeral. He was given a masonic funeral service which was inspriing to say the least. After the service, each Mason approached me and told me what a great job I did. It left a big impression on me. Later that semester, a professor at the college approached me and asked me if I had ever considered becoming a Mason. I explained that I was not 21 yet and he suggested that I look into it.
The week that I turned 21 I went to the lodge and asked for a petition. It was one of the best decisions that I have ever made.
