As we strive to address the continuing pressures of life and especially during this pandemic, we are faced with many new challenges, both professionally and personally.  Perhaps you have felt the strain on your home relationship or on your work relationships.  I know I have missed the personal contact of extended family, friends, and co-workers and especially the contact with my brothers and sisters in church.   Ron Price MA is a member of the Rocky Mountain Conference and serves on the RMC Executive Committee.  He is a relationship expert and has spent over 30 years professionally mediating and coaching couples, families, businesses, and for the court system.  He has amassed a diverse education and broad knowledge of resources which can help people of all ages in all relationships.  He is a published author, a former newspaper columnist, and has hosted his own weekly radio program.  Ron Price is the owner and operator of Productive Outcomes, Inc. This just in- Ron’s newest book “Play Nice in your Sandbox at Church” is now available and it joins two of his previous books- “Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Home”, and “Play Nice in Your Sandbox at Work”.  All of these are available on Amazon.com or directly from Ron himself.  He has generously agreed to share with us some of his “gems of wisdom” that he has gleaned over his long and distinguished career.  I want to share with you these very short (10 minutes) gems.  I have found them personally enriching and often times challenging but always thought-provoking.   Every week or so we add another “relationship vitamin” to this list.   I invite you now to check them out for yourself as you may find them just the boost of encouragement that you need.  Ron and I pray that perhaps they will be a blessing to you in these unprecedented times of stress and uncertainty.
