    Author

    Ted Erekson

    Ted Erekson's passion is storytelling. He's a member of the Utah Storytelling Guild and has been telling stories since High School (just ask his mother). Almost all of his stories have been funny and not serious, until Diane Weese pretty much forced him into a corner to tell Joseph's story.

      I have used my limited knowledge of the Jewish way of life at the time of Joseph and Mary, my emotions and feelings as
