Do you think you Grandfather is a god now, with spirit wives, and possible
the pitter-patter of little spirit feet?

Blaine: Good, JD. I agree parents are critical in what children end up
believing. I am very fortunate to have had good advice and guidance from
my mom
and dad. My grandpa was also very influential, mostly by his example.
He
served two missions (LDS) to Norway, and another one to Spokane,
Washington.
He recorded many miraculous healings, casting out of devils, etc. in his
writings. He was a Judge in regular life, and often required those he saw
in
court to go to church, the denomination being left to them. He was always
in
favor of religious training, regardless of the belief system. Any belief
that
advocates Christian values, he felt, was better than the value systems
that
got people into trouble with the law. Nevertheless, he lived and died by
the
LDS doctrines.
