I must tell you that I am chuckling to myself right now...for a number of reasons! First of all, that I just looked at my calendar and thought, "A month from now, it will all be over....like Christmas...there's all the excitement, and then it's done." Yes, it's a little comical to me that I am feeling all giggly inside over Groundhog Day...and not wanting it to go by too fast! (Please know that I don't equate the importance of the day to Christmas!...still giggling...How did this happen????) Another reason for the hilarity is in God's choosing such a non-outdoorsy girl to be smitten with groundhogs...of all things! Oh yeah, He has a sense of humor! In fact, I feel sure that He is just as delighted as I am...as He continues to work in ways that amaze me!
So, do you have your book??? Groundhog Day is rapidly approaching! Leave a comment here or email me at kristi@graciesgrounds.com. We'll get your copy shipped out! Or...if you are in downtown Cary, stop by Beadazzled. They have autographed copies there!!!

And it doesn't stop there!!! Cindy Kenney, author & editor extraordinaire, has finished editing my next groundhog book...Grover Groundhog Is Not Hibernating This Christmas!!! We are expecting a summer release date...in plenty of time for the truly "most wonderful time of the year"!!! Want to know the next in the series??? A book to celebrate July 4!!!
I would love for you to pray with me, for God's love and truths from His Word to be spread in ways that only He can imagine!! Pray for me as I speak in schools, churches, at Chick-Fil-A, and at Write2Ignite! Pray for me as I continue to write, edit, and revise. Pray for my Daddy as he illustrates my books. That is a treasure beyond words!
