Washington D.C., Dec 17, 2007 / 10:02 am
The White House has sent out its annual Christmas card, featuring a seven-line excerpt from the Bible.
The card quotes from the Old Testament Book of Nehemiah 9:6, which in the New International Version of the Bible reads:
You alone are the LORD.
You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,
and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it,
the seas and all that is in them.
You give life to everything,
and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
The card closes: “May the joy of all creation fill your heart this blessed season 2007.” The Christmas card, signed by both George and Laura Bush, was paid for by the Republican National Committee.
