Fast forward 2 years...
A movie I watched with a friend, that contained a plot about the masons had sparked some more curiosity in me. Curiosity I had to research.
I mentioned this curiosity to my wife (girlfriend at that time) who worked in a local funeral home. "Oh those masons aren't a secret society or anything! I know one, you should meet him, he is a great person!"
Aren't these masons a secret society of people trying to control the world? Nice? Can't be!
The Internet is an amazing thing.
Query: Freemasonry
Response: A lot more goat sacrificing, underhanded deals, and world domination.
Problem: Most information available presented masonry in a negative light. Unfortunately for mankind, often the negative has a way of shadowing the positive.
Solution: Meet this mason friend of my wife's.
Result: The beginning of a wonderful friendship, an amazing journey, an even better perception of the fraternity, and a draw to become a part of something that fits my values, and beliefs more than anything else in my life. A journey that has had ups, downs, and in betweens. Douglas Adams said it right... "Don't Panic"
Tomorrow I will detail that first meeting I had, and the path it led me down.
