Isn't that what makes it so powerful, enabling you to connect with God through your loving relationship >.> ? That's like getting a machine to ring your friend and leave a happy birthday message on their answering service... sheesh.

Here are some free alternatives to paying $4.95/month: 1. Take 30 seconds and pray - you can even do this in your car! 2. Many churches have free "prayer forms" that actual people pray and intercede for you. 3. Setup an Outlook reminder to pray. 4. Program your phone to call you at a certain time of the day. Get a custom ring-tone, and let that be a reminder to pray for your family, or whoever. 5. Put a prayer list on your fridge. Every time you get something from the fridge, say a quick prayer for someone on the list. 6. Step away from the internet and tell God you miss talking with Him. I'm sure He misses you too!
