Though I wasn’t certain I would be accepted in the Lodge, but I felt confident I had a good chance, so I went to the Internet to learn more about Freemasonry and about the local Lodge.

Even so, I felt I was in the right place. “Breaking bread” with these men, some from other Lodges in the region, felt natural and surprisingly compelling. Clearly, for me the Brothers and the ideals of Freemasonry had touched my heart and enlivened my spirit.
