Dating Joseph In the Faiyum

Though I’ve never actually SEEN Joseph, son of Jacob, after hearing his description from the Bible’s Book of Genesis, I would have gladly dated him. In the Faiyum. In the desert. In the rain forest.

Quotes by Mesu Andrews (?)

“But neither the mountains nor the people can rob you of the forgiveness God has given...unless you let them.”
― Mesu Andrews, Love Amid The Ashes

“The messages of a prophet...affect the decisions of kings. The decisions of kings determine not just the course of nations but also the life and death of individuals in those countries. If we become so enamored with our own little world that we disregard the nations, we are no better than those who focus on nations and ruthlessly disregard human life.”
― Mesu Andrews, Love in a Broken Vessel

“Forgiveness is like an olive tree, mistress. Once it takes root, it will grow, and it’s hard to kill.”
