***Isn’t CHOOSING one of the greatest gifts we have?!***
I was shown the error of my ways and I repented. It is a stain on my soul that I will take to my grave and I expect to be called out on it by Him at my Judgement because I did not make the right decision based upon information which was available that I declined to consider.
Most of the Masons that I have been privileged to know have been good men and well intentioned. It is the institution that is not right. I regret having joined it. Yet, it has provided me with insight as to the rituals of the LDS and has provided much mirth when we discuss Temple rituals.
I am glad (blessed?) by being able to have folks who have had the experience in these things to be able to speak from an eyewitness perspective - unlike me, who can only rely on what I hear or read being true.
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
