Welcome to Telegrams From Heaven
Former president Dwight D. Eisenhower challenges us to “perform as thunderbolts.” We’ve translated his telegram into an easier to read experience. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks for dropping by.
Dear Fellow Thunderbolts, One of my eulogists wrote of me, "If he was, somehow at the margins deficient, it was because the country did not rise to ask of him the performance of a thunderbolt." Right or wrong, I pray you not fail to live up to your potential. Perform as a thunderbolt! Let your actions for good be felt far and wide, and when necessary, memorably booming, as though from a thunderbolt. Dwight D. Eisenhower

A Few More Items
Through brief, focused and topical messages, Telegrams From Heaven intends to encourage, entertain and inspire our neighbors around the world. We want to provide hope and inspiration.
The “authors” of each Telegram From Heaven are men and women of accomplishment who lived in the ancient or recent past. Each were known for their faith, or at least the potential for faith during their lifetimes. They are from around the globe, from every walk of life, and their life stories are inspiring and encouraging. We believe these stories offer powerful messages that might help change lives in some small or meaningful way, even if just to improve your walk with God, or to realize someone cares enough to send you a Telegram From Heaven.
The word “heaven” inspires limitless definitions among the religious and non-religious. A few examples include “the home of God,” “a setting of ultimate perfection in the clouds,” or “a place where the resurrection bodies and departed souls of believers spend eternity.” Most often the word conjures up images of ornate, opulent buildings and streets paved with gold. Of beauty, of paradise, of a heavenly kingdom.
Most Christians believe it is a real place, separate from Earth. Others are convinced it is close enough for its inhabitants to reveal themselves miraculously to the living.
