Well, it has been a busy couple of weeks for this traveler. I went to Ashland, KY for a a Scottish Rite reunion a couple weeks ago and now am a 32° Scottish Rite Mason. The very next week we had an Entered Apprentice move to Fellow Craft and a Fellow Craft get raised, all in the same night!
Prior to the meeting getting started, there was some business that neeeded tending to… It seems that the two Brothers who had been appointed as Stewards couldn’t do those roles after all. So, what to do? Well, the decision was made and I was asked if I would server as Sr. Steward for the year instead of Marshal, which is what I was going to be. ‘Sure!’, I said. So another Brother and I were sworn in as Stewards and then proceeded to serve in that capacity (completely without preparation) for the two degrees we had to do that night. Thank God I had my copy of Look to the East in my back pocket!!!
Along with the new Worshipful Master at the Lodge, we are starting a degree team, which is very exciting. Not sure if we’ll have to audtion for roles or if we’ll end up begging a few of the Brethren to help us fill all the roles needed. For those of you ‘in the know’, I’m hoping for Bad Guy #1…
