The Challenge of the Road

The road. Those that travel for business know what I mean by the challenge of the road. The road is hard: from staying in shape, eating, and getting any rest to keeping up with the work, connecting with your family back home, and just finding a few minutes to yourself to think and catch your breath. Then you add the relentless distractions and temptations that only a road warrior knows and experiences. The evil one whispers everything from "Nobody will ever know" to "It''s the cost of doing business to win or keep the deal so it''s okay, right?" The guilt, shame, and regret of the spiritual road warrior are all too often overwhelming and paralyzing.

One of my biggest challenges on the road is not only finding time alone with God, but especially reading something that can relate to my life as a business traveler. Until now. So, why David? And what does he have to do with the life of a business traveler? Plenty.
