No - No Fault Society

Upon returning from Papua New Guinea, Meghan and I had quit the ordeal in Brisbane Australia. We arrived in Brisbane 10 minutes late. Then we had to go through Immigration to get our luggage. However, the conveyor belt didn't start for 12 minutes. My suitcase was of course the last one to come down the shoot. We had to wait in line for a short time in order to go through Customs because we needed to have some gifts checked (didn't want to bring anything through Austalia and into the United States illegally)
When we arrived at the Domestic exchange counter we were told that we had missed our connecting flight to Sydney and would we please wait off to the side. After all the other Quantas customers were taking care of, a Quantas representative came to us and asked us who booked our flight? I told them, "Travelocity." I was then told that Quantas could not help us because Travelocity had booked an illegal flight. Quantas would put Meghan and I on the next flight which was the next day directly to Los Angeles. I immediately called Travelocity only to be told that they did nothing wrong and it wasn't their fault. I was told that they could only book those flights that the airlines provided. Needless to say much was lost: Time - Meghan and I had to stay in the airport overnight; Money - I had to buy two one-way tickets back to Minnesota from Los Angeles because Quantas would not help make a connecting flight for us, it wasn't their fault.
Physically, emotionally and spiritually it was draining. All Meghan and I wanted to do was get home, but the powers in charge wouldn't help nor did it seem they cared. It wasn't their fault or problem according to them, so why think anymore about it?
When is it my problem? Try this on for size: If you're not part of the solution - you are the problem! How many people need to be homeless before I'll do something about it? How many children need to go unnoticed, abused and used before I'll do something about it? How many people will I pass by without even offering them the hope that only Jesus can give? It is my problem - and yours!
"Mea Culpa" was the Latin term for "My guilt/shame." The Apostle Paul admitted that when he said, "It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all." (1 Timothy 1:15) He also said, "For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God." (1 Corinthians 15:9) Paul recognized that when he wasn't part of the solution, he was the problem. There is no such thing as a "No Fault Society." And before we start looking to point our fingers at anyone else, we better take a look at ourselves.
