1 Corinthians 15:52
In a moment.
In the twinkling of an eye.
It will not wait for you to finish the sentence. Whatever you have been meaning to say to the people you love — the apology, the blessing, the thing you assumed there would be time for — there will be no time for it.
So say it now, while you can still choose the words. We will hold what you write, sealed, and carry it to them.
Your first letter is free. No card, and no subscription required.
What people write
Most of it has been waiting years to be said
- To your children
- What you want them to know about who they are, in your words rather than someone else's memory of them.
- To someone you wronged
- The apology you keep meaning to make properly, and keep putting off until a better moment.
- To the ones still here
- Where you have gone, why you believe you were called, and what you hope for them.
Why people write
“The thing I cannot bear is that the last thing I said to her was nothing in particular.”
What people are saying
Sarah R.
Tennessee
“My daughter stopped going to church years ago. I have never known how to say what I believe without it turning into an argument. So I wrote it down — not to convince her, just to tell her what it means to me and that I will be thinking of her.”
Marcus K.
Georgia
“Both of my kids walked away from the faith in college. I do not blame them. But if the day comes, I want them to have a letter from me — not a sermon, just a father explaining where he went and that he loved them the whole time.”
Diane W.
Ohio
“I wrote to my sister. We have not spoken in four years. Some things are easier to put in a letter than to say out loud, and this way she will hear it when it matters most.”
What it costs
The common ways to start — there are larger packs too.
Your first letter is free. One letter, delivered by email, written and sealed without a card. It is held and delivered exactly like the letters below — these are the prices after it.
One letter
$2
Delivered by email to the person you name on it.
Five letters
$5
$1 each. For when there’s more than one person to write to — unused letters never expire.
One printed letter
$10
A physical letter as well as an email, with printing and postage covered up front.
Plainly, before you write
- Your letter outlasts you
- We hold it for as long as it takes. No expiration, no renewal. The service is built to run for decades, because it may need to — and your letter will be there when the moment comes.
- A person decides
- Nothing here detects anything. One of a named group of administrators declares it by hand, waits a full day, then confirms. If they are wrong it goes early; if they never decide, it waits.
- What this is
- We cannot detect the rapture. No one can, and nothing here tries. A person decides, by hand, in two steps a day apart. Read how it works before you pay — it is written to be unflattering.
