Of camels and rich Americanos

Natalie has not blogged much lately. She has been busy studying abroad and keeping up with her school work. But this essay on global poverty and American responsibility is really good. She calls us "bruised camels." What a great line. Anyway, in her words:

We Christians in the US have a special challenge when it comes to living a Christlike life. Jesus wasn’t kidding when he said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. Let’s face it, we’re rich—although sometimes we may not feel like it. When I was at home the other day, I got to go to Snowhill, where we were reminded again and again of our wealth. If we condensed the world down to 100 people, one would have a college education, and one out of the 100 would have a computer! So we’re bruised camels, trying to figure out what to do with ourselves. At least that’s what I’m going through right now.
