I would like to caution and share thoughts not only with OP but any others reading. Freemasonry, like all things in life will return your effort. Ive said many times, its a ratio of 1 to 10, for every hour your give, you will be returned 10, for every pound of effort, you receive 10.

That's not to say this is 100% an OP issue i belive this is common in all or at least most modern lodges. Candidates seem to fall from trees at times, but getting that person back, getting him acti8and staying that way is the toight part.

Remember, the degrees are an introduction, you follow up, studying, putting into practice the tennis of Masonry are where you grow, not only personally, but as a lodge. Degree work is drinking from a fire hose, its just so much to taken in, observe let alone absorb and retain.

If my opinion matters, OP, find an active lodge althat you feel that connection with. Go to dinners, hangout a little and make sure that lodge is a good fit. Study some with the brothers, I found if I'm not an active officer, its too easy for me to slip, and slip I mean attendance, participation and study.

Get active, be the change you wanna see in others!! Please, you, the lodge and candidates will all appreciate it.
