TWO SISTERS, THE GREY HOUSE, AND A CARING GOD
By Dena King … After working for ten years for an employer, my sister and I decided to go into business for ourselves, opening The Grey House, a boutique in Estes Park. And after three years of paying other vendors to print our private label items, my husband and I bought a printing company that was going out of business so that we could keep everything in house. Our family was now fully self-employed and enjoying all the benefits that brings.
Those of you reading this probably already know the twist that this story takes. At the beginning of this year, COVID-19 began to spread across the country and in March all non-essential businesses in Estes Park were asked to close their doors for a time. This definitely hurt The Grey House because we didn’t have any foot traffic supporting our shop, but it equally hurt Trail Ridge Printing because all the events we normally print for were cancelled–no marathons, summer festivals, or fundraisers.

FULLY ALIVE CURRICULUM FOR RMC YOUTH CRAFTED FOR 2021
By Kiefer Dooley – Ward, Colorado … Glacier View Ranch was filled with activity this summer, including the creation of a 52-week, theme-based curriculum for RMC youth for 2021.
Implications from the continued pandemic kept normal camp programing from operating, but GVR staff were not discouraged; rather, inspired. Camp staff from Union College and Southern Adventist University worked to improve GVR facilities and programming and to create youth initiatives to benefit churches throughout the year.

COMMENTARY: LOOK FOR THE GOOD
By Ron Price – Farmington, New Mexico … “I have never seen a monument erected to a pessimist.” Paul Harvey
Stop what you’re doing and get a pen and some paper. Jot down two or three criticisms of a co-worker, or family member. Just take a moment (by the way, the official definition of a moment is 90 seconds) and list two or three of their imperfections. Now list two or three aspects which you find noteworthy and commendable of them.
I’m curious. Which list was easier to compile?
