	* And He looked on His work and saw that it was good.

	* Hear, O Israel!

	* Let he amongst you who is without sin cast the first stone.

	* And it was night.

	* Jesus wept.

	
	But there are hundreds more; which partly is why I'm here. I am 
	electrified by those short, dramatic moments which occur so often
	in the bible as symbolised by the quotes 2, 4 & 5 above. 

	Greetings, Derek.
