In the last few months, I have been enthusiastically active in things masonic. In a few weeks I'm scheduled to become a Master Mason, and have really enjoyed these formative experiences.
The guys I've been getting to know from the lodge are a spirited and diverse lot. I've spent considerable time with a few and am cultivating other relationships along the way.
As a Past Master put it last night, "We are a dinner eatin' bunch of doods!" And we do tend to lay out a respectable spread. If you leave hungry, it's not our doing. ;D
The lodge is energetic, and a good number of the boys take the work pretty seriously. I'm learning a lot.
I've done a little lodge hopping already, and so far I like it a lot. Seeing a gathering of brothers who do the same thing you do but with their own character is a pretty cool experience. It's a little like looking at yourself in a way.

You'll enjoy it; I have with rare exception.
ReplyDeleteIt's no club; it's the Masons.
Most take it seriously, maybe 7% or so simply don't "get it".
Considering about 25 - 30% of the general population fails to grasp much of anything; that's substantial improvement that you'll notice within the fraternity.
Keep us posted!
