LetterMeLater.com - Schedule Email to be Sent Later Automatically

I just got a letter from a church member wanting something in our bulletin, not this Sunday, but the next two Sundays. I need to be sure I:

1. Don't forget to put the announcement in the bulletin and
2. Can find the information when I need it.

It would have been easy if she'd emailed me after I had done this week's bulletin, I could just go ahead and put it in. So I just forwarded the email to myself, in the future.

I have an account with LetterMeLater.com. It allows me to forward the email to me@lettermelater.com. At the top of the body of the message I fill in the following information.

To: myself@mydomain.com
When: Monday 9:00am

So, next Monday her email will show up again in my inbox, and I can go ahead and put her announcement in the bulletin. If you need to send emails to yourself or others, but need them delayed until a future date or time, LetterMeLater.com is a great tool. The free account allows you to schedule up to 30 emails per month, and to send each one to up to 10 different recipients. If you need to send more, you can upgrade your account for $20/yr.

Leave a comment and tell me how you could benefit from being able to schedule your emails for a future date or time.

It's Like Herding Cats - A pastor's life: It'll Be Coming Down in Buckets!

It's going to rain hope in Haiti. It'll come down in buckets. Hundreds of thousands of them. And families will know that God cares for them and has put His people on the problem.

via itslikeherdingcats.blogspot.com

My friend David Wilson blogs about his church's contribution of 20 buckets of food to provide relief in earthquake ravaged Haiti. I found his words very inspiring, and considering that our church like his provided 20 buckets, I thought they might inspire you too!

Thanks David for a good word.

In utopia there is universal health care coverage and freedom. This isn't utopia: You choose

Freedom isn't free. It is bought with the blood of patriots. It is sustained by the exercise of personal responsibility of those who live under it's umbrella. In the wake of the Great Depression we sold a portion of our freedom in order to have the government provide us with retirement benefits. This week congress will seek to force Americans to exchange their freedom for the illusion of guaranteed affordable health care. Every tyrant comes to power by promising the people a rescue from some great fear.

No one wants to be without access to health care. All of us feel compassion for those who don't have, can't get, or cannot afford health insurance. But the price for universal coverage is a loss of freedom. The government will interfere in the free market and tell corporations who they can and cannot insure. Many of those "evil insurance companies" are owned by people like me and you if we have money invested in mutual funds. If you have an IRA or a 401k, that's YOUR business that the government is interfering with.

In order to "provide" coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, the federal government will force you to buy insurance whether you want it or not. They have to do this to keep people from gaming the system. Otherwise people wouldn't buy coverage until they developed a major illness. This would bankrupt the system. You are wise to have health insurance long before you become ill, but in a free country, you have the freedom to do so or not.

I have compassion for those who have serious illnesses and who cannot get access to insurance. I think charitable, loving, kindhearted people should give freely and help those in their circle of influence get the care they need. I don't think it is the responsibility of a government of free peoples to seize money from some of it's citizens, whether they are stockholders of insurance companies, young healthy adults who are making a free choice to spend their money on something other than health insurance, or any other American taxpayer, in order to provide that health care to those who don't have it.

We can have universal health care, for a while. Eventually as we continue down the path of expecting the government to provide the needs of the people, there will be too many receiving benefits, and too few paying in. The system will collapse. When that happens we will have mortgaged our freedoms and have no house of health care to show for it.
