From Carol Eshelbrenner about being a math tutor:

Isaiah 60:  Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem!  Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.
 Ephesians 3:  It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:  that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Matthew 2:  And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, 
until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.  They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.
