Friday, February 28, 2014. Binary Opposition in the Comedy of Errors. An Actor's Analysis of Shakespeare's First Play. As members of the species called the "story telling animal" we long to enhance our sense of self and society through hearing tales that provide templates for thinking about our place in the universe. Shakespeare's ability to tackle profound psychological and existential questions that haunt humanity has long made him a celebrated literary prophet. Prof Gillespie as Egeon,. Audiences laug...

Poems and Essays: When Worlds Collide
http://gillespiepoems.blogspot.com/2012/06/when-worlds-collid.html
Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Today's text: Romans 6:3-4;8. Imagine the world’s last night. The sun goes down without hope of it coming up again. That is a scene in the 1951 film “When Worlds Collide” – a classic sci-fi that my wife Teresa and I recently enjoyed. Steven Spielberg is planning to make a new version. For the disciples Good Friday looked like the world’s last night. Their Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, had been executed. On Saturday they entered a state of shock and grief. ...Although we may...

Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Race to the top. To sustain our thirst. To feel the rain. Like knights of old. And fall like leaves. Then sing we all. Tunes learned long ago. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Poems and Essays: Victory over Death
http://gillespiepoems.blogspot.com/2012/09/victory-over-death.html
Friday, November 9, 2012. Come down from heights. To spit upon the deep. Cut short by lofty defenses. That force inevitable retreat. Sure as children manifest. An innocence that keeps. Are at a loss for words. At the sunset of the years. When resistance is complete. The gentle of the earth. Lost among the beasts. Twitch lips to murmur truths. And pose with those who sleep. The meek will awake. To greet a wonder. Too glorious to speak. Judge both strong and weak. Commence that promised kingdom.

Poems and Essays: Divinity of Christ 5. His Substitutionary Work on the Cross
http://gillespiepoems.blogspot.com/2013/02/comments-on-creeds-5-his.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. Divinity of Christ 5. His Substitutionary Work on the Cross. A question to consider is: how do you deal with guilt? Perhaps you hurt another person or chose to do something that you knew was wrong and the memory troubles you. Do you try to put guilt out of your mind and ignore the feelings of self condemnation? That doesn't work well. The existence of God adds to the mix. He is the standard of perfection, making our own limitations for goodness apparent. Essentially the idea is...

Wednesday, October 9, 2013. What part of Innocent Don't You Understand? Taking a Stab at Abortion and Capital Punishment. By G J Gillespie. HAVE YOU EVER been at the beach and noticed when the tide changes? The water ebbs out for a few hours then a tipping point occurs and it begins to flow in. As we mature we may notice tide changes in our lives as well. It was then that I began to doubt my liberal outlook. My professors, role models and politicians who I had admired were defending aborting the live...

Poems and Essays: May 2013
http://gillespiepoems.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 29, 2013. By G J Gillespie. Go tell of symmetry. Ringing in the world. How it slips down the slough. Spurred to reach the gate. We lift our heads to see. A hundred bright spots. Leaving gray the sky. Balancing night with light. And with each sigh. Sings a somber lullaby. Longing too intense to taste. Music to fill empty space. Hear now this stellar narrative. To drive away dust and decay. In time to meet the dawn. Then hands will join. With hugs of kin. Away into a snow storm.

Poems and Essays: August 2013
http://gillespiepoems.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 15, 2013. Souls descend beneath slabs of rationality. Through fathoms of subterranean silt. To granite caverns dark and still. Where headwaters seep and. From secret plots of solitude. The living cast their prayers. Past clouds of bronze. To quench desperate desires. And wash troubled brows. And rest their heads on rocky beds. Dampened by rain and sleet. Where roots grow thick in sweet earth. And eternal boughs do shade. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Poems in One Place.

Poems and Essays: Divinity of Christ 4. His miracles: Authenticating Proof of the Trustworthiness of Christ
http://gillespiepoems.blogspot.com/2013/02/comments-on-creeds-4-his-miracles.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. Divinity of Christ 4. His miracles: Authenticating Proof of the Trustworthiness of Christ. When we consider that all reality is ultimately information miracles become plausible. Time, space, matter, living organisms, even our thoughts are information patterns that could be expressed as a mathematical algorithm. Therefor if those algorithms could be re-written, the outward expression of reality would change. The Christian does not have a problem believing that on occasion God in...
