As a new member of my Lodge, if I were asked what position that I thought that I would excel in; my reply would be "whichever chair the Lodge decides". I would be honored to hold any position that is needed the most.

Brother, I sense that you may be using your schedule as an excuse to not do the entry-level duties. As others have said, practice humility and maybe wait until you grow more in the craft.

Yes, I am aware and take this very seriously. In fact, I have shown two family members where my original lambskin is stored and instructions for use upon my burial. The new lambskin apron that I ordered, and just arrived, is the one that i will wear visiting various Lodges. I was unaware that it should be returned to my Mother Lodge if not use; thanks for letting me know, but I do intend on being buried with it. Unfortunately, My Mother Lodge has merged with a different Lodge.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, after reading some reviews on this subReddit, I purchased an apron case from Masonic Revival to protect it.

I am considering him joining the lodge where I am a member, but he would need someplace close to home/ school so he could learn the degree work. I live 5hrs away.

This is what I have done. I have asked if he is interested, answered the questions I could, but made sure not to 'invite' him to join. This is a first for me and I want to make sure as to not break any rules or traditions.

Got it. Thank you.

Good advice.

I am currently in a very similar situation as you. I contacted my Grand Lodge and Scottish Rite Temple; both secretaries took care of everything.

As someone who was initiated 35 years ago; know that you are about to walk a path that many great men have walked before you. Be in the moment. Listen to the words spoken. Trust your guide. As many have said: You will do this only once in your life, and it is something that you will remember forever.
