Luke 2:16-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 They hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the feeding trough. 17 After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary was treasuring up all these things[a] in her heart and meditating on them. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard, just as they had been told

Psalm 90:12

12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may [a]present to You a heart of wisdom.

From that fateful day when stinking bits of slime first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars, "I am man.", our greatest dread has always been the knowledge of our mortality. But tonight, we shall hurl the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of death itself.

Tonight, we shall ascend into the heavens. We shall mock the earthquake.
We shall command the thunders, and penetrate into the very womb of impervious nature herself!

Amos 5:14-15
New American Standard Bible
14 Seek good and not evil, so that you may live;
And so may the Lord God of armies be with you,
Just as you have said!
15 Hate evil, love good,
And establish justice in the [a]gate!
Perhaps the Lord God of armies
Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
