Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: (Seniors in) Social Activism - Informational and Collaborative Session
http://gloriabennett.blogspot.com/2011/04/seniors-in-social-activism.html
Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Seniors in) Social Activism - Informational and Collaborative Session. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. I shuffled in my seat awkwardly. The young woman smirked at me. Is this something you guys would be interested in doing? Well, as far as resources go, we have money." a man said. Then maybe we could sponsor a low-income family! I don't want to donate anything! An angry woman cried out. "I donate to the blind, I give my clothes to the Salvation Army! He went ...

Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: Serve Anyway
http://gloriabennett.blogspot.com/2011/04/serve-anyway.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. By Dr Kent M. Keith. 1 People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. 2 If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. 3 If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. 4 The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. 5 Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. 6 The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. May 14, 2011 at 7:27 PM.

The Harbour: June 2011
http://theharboursblog.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The thoughts, beliefs and actions of a group of Christians living together and experimenting with calm unity. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. An Experiment with Meetings. What makes conferencing different from a regular meeting is the following:. 1) One by one, everyone gets a chance (and must) talk about how a situation/conflict has personally affected them (emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally). 2) Everyone else respectfully hears out and listens to each person's point of view without interruption.

Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: A Reflection
http://gloriabennett.blogspot.com/2010/12/reflection.html
Sunday, December 5, 2010. I haven't written on this thing in awhile. I think its time I just plugged down and vomitted some thoughts, regardless of how unorganized they may be inside my head. If you are unaware, I am a founding member of an experimental community house which officially started this September. Currently, there are five women and two men in this house. What are our weaknesses? What is tolerable and what needs to change as soon as possible? December 6, 2010 at 9:42 AM. Hey Gloria - I admire...

Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: I'm Bored.
http://gloriabennett.blogspot.com/2011/03/im-bored.html
Wednesday, March 2, 2011. A few times a week it is only me and my boss in the kitchen for roughly half an hour. A couple months ago I attempted to tell him about the community house but really butchered it and basically made it sound like I was part of a cult. I've been attempting to redeem that image of us for him ever since. But I feel like except for the once in a while encounters at SHOW, my life is sorely lacking that kind of adventure. I don't want to live a safe and protected life! Harry says this...

The Harbour: August 2011
http://theharboursblog.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The thoughts, beliefs and actions of a group of Christians living together and experimenting with calm unity. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. This past weekend we hosted a BBQ for all of the neighbours on our street. It was great! We've been meaning to host some sort of neighbourhood event ever since we moved in here, and now that we're leaving in a month, it seemed like the right time. (you know, in case we ruin everything). And, despite any worries we may have had, it went really well! New Canon EOS 60D.

The Harbour: The Actual and the Ideal
http://theharboursblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/actual-and-ideal.html
The thoughts, beliefs and actions of a group of Christians living together and experimenting with calm unity. Thursday, April 21, 2011. The Actual and the Ideal. This is a quote that I brought up during devos last week. I will post it here because I think it is an accurate portrayal of what we are trying to accomplish. There are two things, the actual and the ideal. To be mature is to see the ideal and live in the actual. To fail is to accept the actual and reject the ideal. The Actual and the Ideal.

The Harbour: March 2011

The thoughts, beliefs and actions of a group of Christians living together and experimenting with calm unity. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Statement of Action - Newly Edited. The Harbour an experimental community and we’re all quite inexperienced in the area of community formation. Therefore, it can and should be re-evaluated at least annually as our visions and purposes change over time. Therefore, we will be deliberate about practicing community by doing the following:. 8226; No sex outside of marriage...

Adventures, Reflections and Less than Glamourous Moments in Already / Not Yet: April 2010
http://gloriabennett.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. There was something written on the stairs, which is why we were sitting that way, with Shane Clairbourne. What was written on the stairs, though, is top secret, and therefore had to be edited out. Yup. We share a secret with Shane Claibourne. Be jealous. He would appreciate me being all elitist about this too, I'm sure. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Baba Yetu is Captivating. I am currently obsessed with this song. It is the Lord's Prayer in Swahili. Saturday, April 17, 2010. Our hous...
