On the Road Again

In today's reading from Galatians (1:18-2:1), Paul tells us about his travels. Today, I can empathize with Paul.

I am on the road again, this time in San Antonio, Texas.

Before I left this afternoon, my wife, Mary, and I had lunch. During lunch I thought to myself, "I really don't want to go. I'd rather be at home this evening. I really don't relish spending the evening away from home." But here I am, doing what needs to be done.

All of us go through this. We all do what needs to be done. Even though we may not want to do some of the things that we are called to do, we must muster the courage and the discipline do it while remembering that we are not alone in our work. Jesus is right along side with us. When we submit to doing what we are called to do, then the blessing of life begins. I can truly say that I am blessed, and I am not alone.
