Second Grade Here We Come

Hannah had some rocky times in first grade. She was troubled by some of the television that they watched during lunch, and very concerned that they would be showing it again this year. Thankfully the television is different this year, and she was much more relaxed about school this afternoon. Being a parent of a child that is anxious about attending school is not fun. I've never had to deal with that before. Hannah has always been excited about school and never seemed to miss me. This bothered me the first time I left her and she didn't even look back at me, but in the end I prefer that. It's much easier on me if I know she is happy and enjoying her day. I am hoping this year will continue to go well. I'm praying for it!

Simple, but Amazing

I've not blogged in a while. Summer is always just so busy, and this summer has been no exception. To update you on the kitten, she (it is a girl) is doing well. She does not appear to have rabies. She is full of life, and we have adopted her as our office cat; the Diggs Law Office mascot.

Hannah and I have spent 2 weeks at church camp at the Bogg this year. We just got back from Kidz Kamp last week. We really enjoyed it. It was different than West-Central Camp. There were some things that I liked better about West-Central and then some I liked better about Kidz Kamp. The preaching was so kid friendly at Kidz Kamp. I decided that sometimes even adults need the simple preaching. We sometimes forget that God has said that we must come to him like children. There are adults who want their sermons to be deep and challenging, and sometimes we just need to remember that Jesus is God and he died to save us; he has set me free. That is powerful! I was bound by sin, but because Jesus came and conquered sin, I can now stomp on Satan. It's simple, but amazing!
