It's great to hear your going to petition a lodge for the degrees of Masonry .

Wasn't taking nothing away from you with my comment about getting out Masonry what you put in , so I hope you wasn't taking it the wrong way. This is something I tell all new Masons and those thinking about joining the Fraternity . Masonry is something you take from it what you will . To some , it is nothing more than a place just to get together and fellowship . To many other's Masonry makes you look inwards into yourself . To take the symbolism and the allegorical teachings and incorporate them into your daily life . Freemasonry has a lot to offer a man and there is much learn in the Fraternity .

Then there are those who become a Freemason , pay their dues every year and never step foot in a lodge after they are Raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason .
