These texts spoke to me quite differently when I returned to them during worship today, so much so that I wondered whether I had used the correct choices when I wrote this reflection several weeks ago.<BR/><BR/>I am also dramatically influenced by experiencing the texts corporately.

She bade us to 'choose life.'<BR/><BR/>I was also especially struck today by the end of the Gospel reading: Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes and the queers are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you....
