Will this go anywhere?
I once blogged while deployed in Afghanistan so that I didn't have to answer 50 emails asking what life was like on camp...was I scared...was it dangerous...but since returning, I've never been one to blog nor even read other's blogs but we'll give this a try here and see if I continue with it or drop it.
I'm now an EA in a holding pattern. I have been initiated and welcomed into my new lodge but now what? I feel a bit abandoned. I have no idea what the next step is nor if anyone is going to call me or if I just show up at the next meeting.
Our meetings are monthly so in my mind, that's a long time to do nothing. I just feel that I should be working on my next degree. I guess I'm just too new and impatient and I'm sure all will fall into place after my next lodge meeting. It is the holidays after all and we're all busy with family etc...
One thing keeping me excited and going is the new ring I have ordered from Dexterrings.com . They make the most detailed family seal rings I have found yet and they have a special secion for Masonic and Templar rings. I've chosen a classic Square & Compass motif with two Latin mottos around the edge. The company is great to deal with sending emails back and forth with recommendations about size and placement and when it's all said and done, they send you artwork of the finished product for your approval before making the ring. I am very anxious to receive it!

Besides, the Church of Christ has poured out its treasure like a flood to enlighten mankind generally, to save their souls, and to do them good both for time and eternity. But what has Freemasonry done in this respect? Their boasted benevolence is a sham. I admit that they do sometimes afford relief to an indigent brother Mason, and to the families of such. I admit that they have often done this. But I maintain that this is not done as an act of Christian charity, but only as an act of Masonic charity; and that Masonic charity is only the part payment of a debt. Masons pay in their money to the Masonic fund; and this fund is that out of which their poor are helped, when they are helped at all.What individuals do for individuals, on rare occasions, is but a trifle. Indeed, it is seldom that they are called on as individuals. The help granted to the poor is almost always taken from the funds of the lodges. And I seriously doubt whether there is a lodge in the United States that has ever paid as much for the support of their own poor as has been paid in to their funds by those who have joined the lodge. Let it be understood, then, that their boast of benevolence and of Christian morality is utterly false. Their oaths do not pledge them at all to the performance of any truly Christian morality; but to a Masonic benevo lence, which is the opposite of true Christian morality.

Bro. Osirus is correct, Just stick with a blue lodge ring. There is no reason not to wear one before you get your MM degree and more importantly, welcome to the craft! Stock Tips
