Okay, I think I'm ready...

So it's been two months since returning home from Guatemala and I'm still trying to answer my Veinte Preguntas.
12. Responsibility. This "what is my responsibility" question is pretty big. Perhaps the question I really want to ask is "What does God expect of me?"
I could explain this with a whole bunch of words, even great scriptures, but regardless of how many directions I try to come at this question, I end up with the same answer:
Anything, Something,
and Everything.
13. Is this really about changing the situation for the poor, or should it be about changing the attitude of the rich? We can't change the situation for the poor until we change the attitude of the rich. And the rich need to know that they're rich.
14. Is it okay to serve people with the expectation that I will benefit even though I know that’s not the right attitude? Well, is it better not to serve until I get it right? I think God knows I want to serve with a completely genuine heart, so until I get there He'll do all the forgiving and changing I need.
15. “Can an accident of latitude and longitude really be the difference between life and death?” – Bono It's ridiculous to me that this is true. Not because it doesn't make sense, but because for the first time in history, poverty is "not the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich." (John Berger) Poverty has a myriad of causes and just as many different solutions. But we in the United States have the awareness, access, and ability to be the generation that no longer accepts this reality.
16. Why does God allow people to live in these conditions and allow us to live in our conditions? I'm afraid He's asking me the same question.
