The First Step

To start the next step on the journey I have petitioned to join the fraternity of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons.  Why the Masons you might ask and my answer is why not.  It is an organization that strives to take good men and make them better and seeks to better society around them.

I have thought about joining for years and researched it extensively including all of the allegations made against them, some of them tremendousness ridiculous, and searching out the truth about each incident and allegation in which I found that between the rare unfortunate incidents of individuals, false allegations, forgeries, and out right lies, that the Masons are good men, that believe in a higher power grater than themselves, and seek to be better men.

I will be voted on at the next meeting and hope to be accepted.  I will record my feelings and impressions in this journal as I go along this journey.  I will not reveal anything that is not all ready public knowledge but I would like to remember my thoughts and feelings during this time and preserve them to cherish later.  I have a friend who has already been voted on and will become an Entered Apprenticeship in the next week and we are both excited to get started.

Please join me on this journey and experience this unforgettable experience with me, whether you have been in the craft for years and just want to re-live your own experiences or someone that might be interested in taking the same journey.  I look forward to your company on this road.

Your Humble Servant,

Mason Seeker
