INTERESTING INFO ON THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER OF HEBER J. GRANT

My dear wife has, or has read, a book on the lives of the nineteen wives of the Prophet Joseph Smith who did "the works of Abraham". My dear wife really choked on that meaty information, but she has since learned the true principle of stewardship as I have in the past nine years with all that we have been through together.

I digress, that book contained alot more info on Rachel Ivins Grant, the mother of Pres. Heber J. Grant who lived a remarkable life that was filled with twists and turns that most of us would never expect to pass through in our lives. Abrahamic tests of sorts - sacrifices of the heart required of anyone who will make it back to God's presence.

This is a great synopsis of Rachel Grant's life and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. There is as much information implied in her life's story as there is explicitly stated. I suppose the same goes for the reference in John 8:39. The fine, spiritually discerned text written between the lines is often of far more significance than the gray scale that is stamped on the pages.
