Welcome to my blog on Masonry. I have decided to keep a record of my journey for both my own sentimentalism and for the benefit of those who would seek to join the world's oldest fraternal organization. This is, in essence, the story of a man endeavoring to better himself through the application of Masonic teachings and ideals.

As I write this today, I am a new person; My body which has carried me through my 24 years of life thus far remains the same yet I am different in a way only another Brother Mason could understand. I have learned that earthly titles which have been bestowed upon us are ultimately meaningless - Brother, Father, Mother, Sister, President, CEO, Chief, Freemason. Nay, it is what you are in your heart and soul that defines just who you really are.
Today, I am a Master Mason... and like the grains of sand through the hourglass of life, my Journey has just begun...
Am I yet Proficient?

Lately I have been buried in the Fellowcraft Proficiency in my efforts to learn it word perfect. It has been quite a challenge and there are still some sections that I am working on but the material is quite interesting. I really hope I'm ready as I prove proficiency this coming Monday.
I have also found out that February 4th will be the big night when I will be raised to the Sublime Degree. I'll be sure to write about all my experiences soon.

I passed my proficiency last night, the big night is 2 weeks away! On an aside, I will be travelling tonight with a couple of brothers from my lodge to Philo Lodge in South River, NJ to watch a Fellowcraft Degree be put on as part of my Masonic education program. I hope to gain new insights from watching the degree in full as opposed to being the candidate.
