Sunday Morning Letters—Then and Now


     Sunday mornings long ago my family listened to the Old Time Gospel Hour with Rev. Charles E. Fuller, evangelist radio pioneer.  We would sing along with his trademark hymn “Heavenly Sunshine” and enjoy his inspirational gospel messages.

     The program featured Mrs. Fuller who read & answered letters from listeners.  Every week for years, Rev. Fuller lovingly introduced his wife with these exact words “And now, Mrs. Fuller with the Letters, go right ahead Honey.”  

     Then one Sunday, Rev. Fuller hurriedly exclaimed “And now Mrs. Fuller, go right ahead Honey.”  We were astonished.

     There was awkward dead air before the forgetful Rev. Fuller blurted out “Uh…WITH THE LETTERS!”

     Spontaneous uproarious laughter erupted from everyone. 

     That was then.  Sunday mornings now I awaken with eager anticipation for the Latter Day Letters on 5 Doves. 

     While the studies of numbers edify and the links engage, my favorite Letters share personal testimonies—like those of Carl Worline, Gerry Almond, Chance, Luis Vega, and many others. 

     After all, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10) and we overcome by His Blood and our testimony unto death (Rev 12:11).

     So when the Spirit moves you to share your own testimony in the Latter Day Letters, but you hesitate, remember Reverend Fuller, and go right ahead Honey.

     Many thanks John for 5 Doves and for The Latter Day Letters.
