Congrats, Bro CBDub......you seem to be walking up that "winding stairwell" on the way to the two goals of every good STUDENT of Masonry---The Pursuit of TRUTH, and acquiring a vast and thorough KNOWLEDGE OF SELF.........make SURE you consult with your Secretary in your Home Lodge, and contact Lodges in the Cities where you will traveling BEFOREHAND as a courtesy, Young Brother......As you travel State to State, Prince Hall Affiliated Lodges may operate a little differently.....we share the same LIGHT, but a few small customs may vary from State to State......as a Newly Raised Brother soon, remember, it's always good to COMMIT YOUR RITUAL TO MEMORY before visiting other Lodges----it's a good reflection on where you come from, and also gives you more confidence when you hit the door................
Just my two cents......good luck on the final leg of your studies and journey into the doors of our hallowed and time honored institution............The Second Degree is my favorite of the Three Degrees in Symbolic Masonry..........
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Bro Vincent C. Jones, Sr., Bayou City Lodge #228, PHA, F&AM
