We've only had DialMyCalls' service for a short time. Already used it for rain cancellations and event reminders. Its great and everyone seems to like the service too. Win...Win...

kwikphilly, We are in FL too. Last year we canceled service one time due to Hurricane warnings and another time because the a/c wasn't working. Our church isn't mega big but the congregants sure appreciate getting the call or text so they don't get all ready for service and travel only to find out service was canceled. That is why we started looking into this service. We had another provider but their pricing got out of control. DialMyCalls gave us a non profit discount and offered us 7 days a week customer support. So far we are very happy. We are going to give it one more month. After that, we are going to remit payment for the full year so this will be one more concern under control soon. We've also used the other service provider to remind our members of a yearly picnic we have. Everyone seems to like the reminder and update calls. Some prefer texts so we have the ability to do that too.

Thanks so much for all the responses and help. We ended up trying out a system called DialMyCalls. So far so good, working great. We can send calls and text messages out to everyone at the same time and pretty quickly too.

Such nice responses. It is great to see all the responses of comfort. Fear is not from God. Don't let fear tear you apart, pray instead. God Bless.

Congratulations, you quit smoking!!! The best thing you did for yourself. Try sucking on a lollypop. I have never been a smoker and I thank God for not giving me that addiction. My dad smoked for as long as I can remember from morning till night. He finally passed away from lung cancer. A dreadful disease. He lived until he was 74 years old. Not bad for a chain smoker who started at about 12 years old or so. He started back in the day when there weren't any filters on cigarettes. However, after being diagnosed with lung cancer, his life just dwindled away. I prefer to remember him with his curly dark hair and smiley face. Too bad back then (before the addiction started) no one knew what they were doing to their body. God Bless.

Thank you for the input. I am looking into some mass notification systems and I will post them once I have the best service narrowed down.

That is exactly the issue. If some are not notified, they travel out in the nasty weather for a service that has been canceled. I have noticed lately that some churches, schools especially delay the service or class instead of canceling it. Its best for everyone to stay off the road when there is inclement weather and poor driving conditions. The cities actually advise that people stay off the roads so the plows can get through too.

Thank you for the responses. I will followup with all when I have more information on this topic.

Don't forget Mother's Day is May 8th! Its early this year so don't forget MOM!!! All moms, grandma's and all the special women in your life will appreciate your thoughtfulness on this special day which celebrates WOMEN.

Excellent - Faith isn't faith until it's all your holding on to.

How can people question the Bible? It is God's word.

Have you suggested maybe a simple walk together in the evening after dinner? It sounds like your husband may be depressed or even bored. Its work but try to be creative and find simple things the two of you can do together.

I am hoping for the best with your marriage.

Hello Everyone. What communication tools does your church use to keep congregants informed? What if service was canceled due to weather or a heating/cooling system failure? Or any other issue? How would your Pastor/Minister let all the people know so they didn't head out for service, when its been delayed, postponed or canceled? What if there was an emergency at your church? How would congregants be notified of the emergency? Many people would be involved. How would your Pastor/Minister notify them all at the same time?

Ask yourself, "Do I really want to be with someone who doesn't love or want to be with me?" With prayer, I think you will find your answer.

Yes, Baptism relieves us of original sin. It makes us clean and worthy to God. I think the actual act of being baptized would bring a significant change to goodness if one is truly trying to follow in Jesus' footsteps. God Bless.

Thank you for the recommendations. I am going to look into these for the proper translations suggested. Have a great day!

Hello Forgon, just checking in to see how you are feeling today. I hope you are in a better place in your heart today. I prayed that Jesus would help you see how glorious you are to HIM.

God has allowed man knowledge. I, for one, am grateful for all the doctors and health care workers that have helped me get better when I needed medical care.

This is a terrible situation that you are in. Pray for help with your marriage. Maybe suggest a marriage counselor to your husband because your marriage "deserves" it. There is an opportunity here for you to forgive his disrespectfullness towards you and enjoy many more years of a happy marriage.

Congratulations! Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me". Be joyful for another follower will be born.

Surely you don't want to harm yourself, it is your illness causing this. God love you for you are one of his own. Don't give up, persist in the Lord and your blessings will be bountiful!

Love yourself. You are perfect in God's eyes. Once that love you have for yourself and God shows, you will attract others to be your friend. You can let God take it from there. Never give up on yourself.
