Raising delayed

Well, I received a call today from the master of my lodge and was informed that my raising would be postponed. It seems that the degree team has not been able to practice due to the amount of snow we have received this past week. The person that was to do the lecture now has to go to Atlanta for business that day due to the snow as well. I was hoping that I would be raised before the next stated meeting so I would be able to attend but it looks like I will have to wait till the next month. It is not that big of a deal actually. I have waited all my life for this, I can wait a little longer. I would like to be more active in the regular lodge activities but will wait till I am able.

FC exam

I did my FC proficiency tonight. It was also the first time that I was at the lodge before a regular stated meeting. There were about 15 members present and myself. I waited outside the lodge room while they opened the lodge. I was then summoned in and conducted to a chair where my coach was sitting across from. We went through the entire catechism without any problem. It was great experience. The catechism was much easier to learn this time than the first. My raising is scheduled for 2 weeks away on 1/17/11. I can not wait til then.
