There is a Green Hill and Wisdom

Today I got to play the music for church at Snowbird which was held basically out on the mountain side. Not often do I get to have church outside. It was at a place where outside concerts are held. We sang High on a Mountain Top and There is a Green Hill. This was a beautiful Green Mountain Top. The sun was shinning brightly and I loved it. RS was something about being judged by the light in us. Sunshine and spiritual thoughts must bring light.

Wisdom: D&C 45:56,57 And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins, For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day.
D&C 89:4,18-21 In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation-
18.And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones:
19, And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowlege, even hidden treasures.
20. And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.
21. And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.
Could It be that to be wise and to find wisdom relates to treating our bodies as a temple to receiving light-- to taking healthy things into our bodies is one step leading to wisdom in fact a promise that wisdom will come. And the next step is to not be deceived and to have the destroying angel pass by us. To be a Wise Virgin-- the Wise Men at Christ"s birth saw the new Star and recognized it as the sign of the Messiah---maybe there were only three and the rest of the world missed it. It seems we should seek for wisdom that may come by eating meat and grains sparingly and fruits and vegtables in the season thereof with prudence and thanksgiving. Could this clease our bodies so we can have the Holy Ghost to be our constant companion? Sometimes the ideas are so simple we miss them---in fact all but three missed the star.
OH, to find Wisdom!
