My Name

Mesu Andrews baby picMesu is a nickname…

I’ve often been asked the origin of my name. My mom is a creative lady and gave me a long, melodic first name that I couldn’t say as a toddler. My given name came out “Mesu” and became my lifelong tagline. My husband loves to embellish the story, saying my parents were missionaries in China. (Orneriness leaks out of that man.)

My parents were NOT missionaries, but I come from a patchwork quilt of theological heritage. Phrased a little less delicately…I’m a spiritual mutt. If you’d like to hear more about how Jesus transformed my life (I used to smoke like a chimney, cuss like a sailor, and drink black-label Jack like a backwoods hillbilly), check out my Personal Testimony page.
