It might be hard to imagine right now but, like the end line in the movie "Casablanca" ... "this could be the start of a beautiful friendship".
While you will, even with all your preparation, go through the stage of the somewhat confused new Brother, the day or night of a DeMolay's Initiation often marks one of the most memorable events in his life, when viewed from the perspective of the future.
Let me plant a seed of thought within you .... your (soon to be) Chapter Master Councilor, your State Master Councilor, and your International Master Councilor (a Brother from Tennessee, BTW) all started out as the newest member of their Chapter. To initiate something is "to begin" and Initiation is a Beginning. How far you go from that beginning is entirely up to you.
Let us hear from you Brother (soon to be).
