This one task, to study Joseph, was perhaps the most challenging to understand of any that the patriarch, Brother Pace charged me with back in July of 2002. He blessed me with so many comprehensible and wonderful things that this one seemed almost out of place. How was I to study the life of a man from over 4000 years ago in any sort of detail, especially if his life is for the most part only recorded in the book of Genesis, which in large part uses the language of symbolism both in stories and numbers?
Well, I am beginning to grasp the message and doing more to follow that all important counsel. If God feels I would not only benefit, but become a better person from this endeavor, then I shall do it and do it gratefully. I have turned this into a blog so that I am accountable for pursuing the subject and can get feedback and new ideas from other seekers of truth.
The things I have learned from him already amaze me and I hope to learn more. Joseph in Egypt was one of the greatest men who ever lived and we could all do well to emulate his example.
