		<description>I&#039;m late to the party here, but I wanted to add my thanks to the list... When I got interested in the fraternity, H&amp;H was pretty much the first step-by-step account of what joining the Masons is like that I encountered.  Your informative and straightforward posts answered a lot of my questions, and ultimately helped me make my decision to petition my local lodge.</description>

		<description>Your blog is written very well. I share in your experience in after being raised three weeks ago, I have been appointed to serve next year as Sr. Steward and will be installed this weekend (yikes!). 

Anyhow, I am starting a community site focused around masons around the world sharing with other brothers their successes and failures in the blue lodge for the betterment of all who seek further light. Your site has impressed me so that I would like to know if you wouldn’t mind helping me in my goal by contributing to the site. It won’t take much time, and being a Mason in a foreign country adds to diversity in your contributions. Anyhow, please feel free to email me if you would like to participate. Thanks for a great blogging experience.</description>

		<description>A great blog. I&#039;ve really enjoyed reading through the posts. My lodge is in Brisbane, Australia and follows Scottish Ritual Working. Our new site is linked to my name below.

It&#039;s very interesting to see the differences in Masonic structures around the world. On Yeronga Lodge&#039;s site I have a PDF document which shows the structure of Freemasonry in Queensland. 

Best wishes with your Masonic journey. I trust it brings you great enjoyment and personal fulfilment.

I&#039;ll be a regular reader.

Cheers

		<description>Dearest author.

My name is Chris I am a 23 year old in Nebraska.

I started reading this  blog  in the beginning stages of my &quot;Masonic curiosity.&quot; Since then, I have requested information from the GL of NE, and met with two of the brothers in my area.

I was greatly impressed with the personality of these folks, and the information they had to impart. I had even read your post about meeting with masons prior to my meeting :)

Since then I have petitioned the lodge  and had a favorable vote. Unfortunatley due to my request to take the degrees solo, I wont be able to begin my work until the 2nd week of Jan. But I feel that it is worth the wait, as the two fellows I had met with said  it was the most effective way to do it.

Like you my thirst is never quenched for knowledge about this great fraternity, but fearful of stubmling onto something that would ruin the experience of my conferrals... thankfully this blog has been safe in that respect, at the same time as being deeply informative.

Thank you for the time you put into this work, as it is one of the wedges that helped my initiative to join the craft.

Thanks again, looking forward to the day I can call you brother..
