Praise to the Man

Today, June 27, 1844 is the anniversary of the matyrdom of Joseph and Hiram Smith.  I had to give the thought at Devotional today, and all I could think about, was this.  I also chose the hymn Praise to the Man, and do you know that the hymn number in the book is #27.  It was  all I could think about since I pulled up my email this morning from the Joseph Smith Papers. It is inspirational as I ponder on what we have today because of Joseph and Hiram's contribution.  The Book of Mormon, the Church....because our loving Father in Heaven provided all of this through his son Jesus Christ.  We are so blessed.
