Well, the day has finally come and gone. Last night I was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. I cannot tell you how much this journey has changed me as a person. Of course most of you already knew what I just found out. This has been the best journey. Last night was an amazing experience and I cannot thank all the Brothers that have helped me on my journey enough. While last night was a big step I know that it is not my final step. There are many, many things that still need to be attended to and lots of work to be done. Once I get through the memory work associated with this degree I will feel much better. Then from there the sky is the limit. I am looking forward to the rest of this journey now that the prep work is done. Looking back I know that what at times seemed so daunting was probably the some of the easiest times. I am still in awe of what I have seen, heard, and accomplished. It is such a great feeling. I want to thank all of the Brothers here also because it is you that helps keeps the fires burning and driving me forward. I received a great deal of gifts last night from the Brethern but I think that the two things I looked forward to the most was that white, lambskin apron and that dues card! Well, those and the pretty sweet knife that one of the Brothers gave me.
