Being Passed
Tonight, I will be passed to the Fellow Craft degree. (I hope!)
After much preparation and two practice sessions with all the participants, it would seem that I am ready to be passed to the 2nd degree. I'm nervous. I'm anxious. I'm excited.
This work I have done with several members of the lodge has brought me closer to them and closer to the feeling of belonging I was seeking when I first turned to Masonry.
These are great guys who never turned me down when I needed help. Encouraged me all the way and seem to show genuine excitement to having helped me attain the next level.
What were strangers just a few short months ago, I now call Brothers and feel a real kinship to them. I look forward to being there for them when the time comes.
It is our annual DDGM visit as well so the night promisses to be full of pomp and ceremony. I had better not blow it!

Congrats and I hope all went well. I am actually doing my 2° tonight so I know how you felt going into yours.
all did go well, as I'm sure it will with yours. There were 14 different lodges representing at my passing because of the annual DDGM visit so it was quite a night. There was a piper and all the blue and gold...very moving.
Anyway, I only needed a word once...all went well and I am planning on being raised at our April meeting.
I am too soon to be passed to the Fellow Craft. There is no shortage of people willing to help. Good Luck.
