Should I be Jealous

So. I know it's been a while, so I better get back to posting something out here.

So, my oldest two children got to go the CIY and church camp this year and it really helped them focus more on their spiritual life. They got a week for each event. They were away from responsibilities of the household, with no real requirements except just to worship and learn.

So, should I be jealous? At this stage in my life, I don't have the opportunity like that just to worship and learn. I'm always dealing with being the husband, dad, brother, son, etc. I just can't drop stuff and go anywhere. I'm thinking of the emails I'd have to deal with at work, the phone messages, the stuff that just appears on my desk and that's just at work. Wait until I dig up all of the family stuff. Whew!

I believe I'm looking at this all wrong. I still have the opportunity to worship and learn daily and I just need to do it. David Heffren, an OCC student from our church, preached on James 1:22-24 today. It was simply titled Learn and Do. I was reminded that we don't have to just try to do things, we simply need to do things. It was hammer to the head. James laid it out for us and we just need to learn and do it.
