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!

I think the angel sent was Maxwell

Tues June 30 was Val’s first day to be an ordinance worker at the Draper Utah Temple. Val’s day started at the church spreading bark with a couple of other High Priests one being Greg Parish whom Val calls The General ( he is always helping). By 9:00 am he was on his way up to the cabin with Bender his favorite electrician. During the Ragnar Race Jr. Team SAM BRINLEY, SARA, JAKOB, and I stopped by the cabin it was difficult to get the lights to go on they were very low. Jeff McNeil held a camp out in the cabin driveway for 3 11 year old scouts with their dad’s he also found low lights and could not see the cause.
When Val and Bender got to the cabin they found a breaker that was not working when they tested it with their equipment. They called Rocky Mountain Power and left for Home Depot --taking a couple of hours to get there - to buy a new breaker. Val called me and said things were not going well and could I pick up his new white coat for the temple and that he would not be making it to the sealing session we do with Pres. Hilton at 3:00 pm leaving for the temple about 2:15 pm. He didn’t know if he could make it to the temple at all.
I PRAYED. It seems Satan does not want Val to make it to the temple. I ask for help for Val to make it to the temple. I Prayed for an angel that knew a lot about electricity to help solve the problems so Val could make it to the temple. I ask if maybe God could sent Maxwell ( He like discovered electricity) to help Val get the electrical problems fixed.
Val’s next call was: the electricity was working great! He was on his way home and would make it on time to make the sealing session. When he and Bender got back from Home Depot the electricity was working without installing a new breaker which would have been very dangerous---something to do with installing it hot. Any way they didn’t have to do it . Everything was working. Val did the sealing session and was able to serve as a veil worker on both sides the first day and started memorizing other ordinances.
Thank You God and Maxwell.
