Tuesday, 10 April 2007
After talking with several Masons and doing lots of reading, I decided that I would like to join the ranks of the Freemasons. I talked with a Mason friend from church several times, and eventually he gave me a petition form to complete and return to him. It was an intriguing form with some interestingly worded questions, but everything seemed to be in order, so I completed the form and returned it to him. And that's it! So now I wait patiently to learn the next steps.

He told me that my form would be presented to the Lodge, and that if the Lodge voted to consider my petition, then an investigating committee would be formed to meet with me. Hmmm...sounds ominous! But from what I've heard and read, it's really just an opportunity for me to learn more about what's to come, and for the members of the Lodge to decide whether or not they want to allow me to be part of their Lodge.

I'm guessing that it should be pretty straight forward, so I figure that if I just be myself and don't try to impress, they'll see me for who I really am and make decisions based on that.
 
This is my third article about my experience in Freemasonry.

Masonic Rings

www.gordonsmasonicrings.com

Since I received my Third Degree, I wanted to purchase a Masonic ring, but I was discouraged by the high cost of nice-looking rings. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with buying high-end, high-quality jewelry, but the prospect of dropping $400 or more just didn't cut it. I really needed an affordable alternative. So, after a Google Search, I found Gordon Spurlock's Masonic Ring site, and I was very impressed by the selection of designs. So many, in fact, that I had a hard time deciding! Anyway, Brother Gordon's rings are made of durable stainless steel, so they should hold up well, and the designs are beautiful. And at about a hundred bucks, it's a great deal! Check out the site, and then send him an order!
