Change in Terms of Service

To All Active New Mexico Community Voice Mail Clients:

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Beginning February 1st, 2010 you must check your messages at least once every 15 days in order to maintain your service. The term of service up to now has been that you must check your messages at least once every 30 days. However, beginning February, that activity period will decrease. There will be no change to your voicemail service, when you can check messages, or how long you can continue to use your number. However, if you do not check your messages for 15 days, you will receive a warning message which you must respond to within a week, otherwise, your number will be reset and reassigned and you will not be able to access it. Note, this does not apply to messages received. It doesn’t matter if you get any messages during any period of time. It only applies to you checking your messages.

I hope you are finding benefit to using your number. If you want to keep you number, just make sure you are checking your messages regularly.

If you have any questions or comments about this change, please contact me at 750-7545.

Thanks for your attention, remember to always check your messages, and have a great day!

Sincerely,

Your Voice Mail Manager, Amanda Clearwater

A Year of Time


Adapted from: Steven B. Cloud, Pulpit Helps, Vol. 14, # 2.

Welcome to 2010. Especially at the beginning of a new year, it’s a good time to think about time.

As we look into 2010 we look at a block of time. We see 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds. And all is a gift. We have done nothing to deserve it, earn it, or purchased it. Like the air we breathe, time comes to us as a part of life. It is given equally to each person. Rich and poor, educated and ignorant, strong and weak—every man, woman and child has the same twenty-four hours every day.

You cannot stop time and you cannot bring back time. Once it is gone, it is gone. If yesterday is lost, tomorrow is uncertain. We may look ahead at a full year’s block of time, but we really have no guarantee that we will experience any of it.
So, time is one of our most precious possessions, yet we cannot save it up. We have to use it, moment by moment. This, of course, is one of the most important choices of your life - - how will you spend your time?

The new year is full of time. I encourage you, with these new days and months ahead to make the most of your time.

And as Oprah Winfrey once said, “Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
