I owe you a word of gratitude.

The questions you were asked and the answers you and gave on this forum helped me decide to apply.

I've met a nice group of guys. My coach is one of the preachers at First Baptist Church and the adult Bible study teacher there. Great guy.

This morning I was raised a master mason.

Thanks.

Don't the Masons carry strike-anywhere matches wherever they go?

Welcome, brother. Two years ago I was presented with my 50 year pin and certificate. It was presented to me by a Past Master of the Lodge who, by coincidence, happened to be a patient I had removed a colon cancer from some 30 years before - a very touching ceremony for all of us.

You and your lodge have made good choices.

I do. Dipped in wax. Also three other ways to make fire.

Couldn't pass it up Tycer. Congratulations on your promotion to Master Mason.

Welcome Brother.

When did you start as an Entered Apprentice? After I started the Mason thread a few weeks ago? If so, that was fast.

I'll return the 2nd next Saturday and then be raised 3 weeks later on April 5th.

I was initiated an entered apprentice Jan 17. I made suitable proficiency on the second degree Thursday night. The two guys I was raised with did their second proficiency immediately prior to being raised.

Yes, it has gone fast.
