This Time Last Year

Even though the streets are covered in ice after a night of freezing rain in Kansas, the Stroud House is warm and dry...






As Amy and I snuggle by the fire next to Dallas and Rudy, we are reminded of just how wonderful it is to be together this year. Last year I was in Iraq and spent Christmas in Baghdad, while Amy held down the homefront.


Therefore, we rejoice in being together and doing all the fun things associated with this time of year... the celebration of the birth of Immanuel... God with us!

We thought it would be fun this year to do something different than write the same old Christmas letter and instead come into the 21st Century and do a Christmas blog to share all the Stroud Family blessings of this past year.

Over the weeks leading up to Christmas we will attempt to capture in our own words the wonderful journey God brought us through in 2007, a year of blessings!

In the unforgettable words of Jed and Ellie Mae Clampett, "Ya'll come back now you here!"
