Again with 3's, it just occurred to me the year will be 2013, I'll be 33, it will be my 3rd year as a Mason, and the 3rd officer position I will have held.
Wow. The 3 is strong with me.

I'm currently Junior Deacon at my lodge. If things go according to plan, I will be WM in four years and will be 28 years old at time of installation.
Are there usually timelines to this? I've only been an MM for a few weeks now. I understand there is usually a progression to it. A year to each station or something along those lines?
Though my youth still kicks in sometimes and would gladly take an helm, my age now dictates that I would like more time to soak up the "feel" of the place for a while.

Don't worry about it. Just do whatever you can to help your Lodge & in time, if found worthy, you shall have it. Just let your Brethren know that you are willing to work.

Yes. But it's totally up to the brethren of my two lodges. I would like to become a voting member of the Grand Lodge of Texas and to be among the men I've grown to admire for their service in the East. From all appearances, it's a good measure of a man. Peace, harmony, and respect for the East and the GLoTx is a must, but growth of yourself and the lodge are always hoped for. If called upon, I will be twice past master in the next four years.
Either way, I fully intend to work with candidates, help out with degrees, and continue my study and growth as a mason. Can't see that changing much. That's why I am a mason. Like they say, U swim R U die.

There needs to be a spot on that graph for, "I'll go because its my duty."

Brother,
It is a GREAT thing that fathers and sons can be Brothers as well.
I hope someday my son will ask. My nephew has and I was so fortunate to have conferred his FC and MM degrees.
I was Senior Deacon on his EA degree.
While I was Master of our Lodge in Salado, we had a Grandfather, Father and Son serving in various offices: Treasurer, Deacon and Steward.
What a gift for a father to give his son.

I want some day to be the Old Tiler..... they seem to be our conscious and memory. I love the Old Tiler talks that come across my email and attention periodically.

My Dad turned 60 in his year I was his Senior Deacon, good times man good times. I hope it is not coming off wrong but I am a big fan of Dad's having their sons in Lodge.
I hope one day my son will sit in the lodge as well... :thumbup1:

I have not given up on either son becoming a Mason, I just hope they don't so as so many others do, and wait until the witness the Masonic Service... I have met many who waited until then, and petitioned, as they felt it was a good thing towards their Dad or Granddad. Unfortunately, most of them don't follow through. At least with Dad around, you can still get a boot if you don't do your Homework I am a few months away from having my "Rocker". I don't know that I will immediately miss the pressure, but I seem to do best under pressure... I hope all who come into the East do so for the Lodge, and consider the R\"rocker" as a reward for a "Job Well Done".
