A bit of a brag!

Well, since this is a spot to ramble on about whatever, I choose to post this. No smart-assery today. I have something to announce that I am really quite proud of.

8 months ago I was accepted into a fraternal organization. I am known to the world as a "Free and Accepted Mason". I am a 4th generation Mason. My Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, and Father are all Masons. I finally came to a point in my life where it was something I wanted to explore. My time had come. To become a Mason, one must first want to become a Mason. It's not something that you are asked to join. Its something that you have to seek out, and want to join. Can't say why I decided to try, I just did. I was accepted and for the past 8 months I have been learning all the lessons necessary to make it official. I can't explain too much, as I am sworn to secrecy regarding certain things, but there are 3 degrees you must pass. I have taken classes and memorized all that was required. These classes were 3 times a week.

Tonight, I will finally be raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. This is the culmination of all the effort I have put forth for 8 months. It means so much more to me that my Father and Grandfather will be a part of this ceremony. So I state it here in my blog, that this is one of the more important things to happen to me so far in this little life of mine, and I am supremely grateful for the experience. This entire process has changed my outlook on things, and I hope to pursue even more.
