As we journey through life, it’s natural to reminisce about the past. For those of us in the 45-65 years old range, the summers of the 1970s hold a special place in our hearts. Personally, I have fond memories of working with my father, bailing hay under the warm sun, and taking a well-deserved break for lunch. It was during these midday breaks that I would tune in to Paul Harvey on my trusty little transistor radio. His voice would instantly transport me back to those balmy summer days when life seemed so simple and my loved ones were by my side.
Paul Harvey was a voice that resonated with millions of people across America from 1952 to 2008. His radio program, “The Rest of the Story,” captivated listeners on over 1,200 radio stations, 400 AFN stations, and 300 newspapers. But it wasn’t just his stories and knowledge that drew people in; it was the comforting nature of his voice. Hearing him speak felt like stepping into a different world, one where we could momentarily escape and perhaps even change our perspective on life.
In those cherished moments of listening to Paul Harvey, I learned valuable lessons about life. I miss the deep thought and introspection that those times brought. In today’s fast-paced world, it seems like we seldom take the time for such contemplation. Maybe it’s something we should prioritize more often – to pause, reflect, and gain insights like we once did.
One intriguing aspect of Paul Harvey’s career is an article he wrote, which he modified over the years even before his television career began. This article, open to interpretation, has stood the test of time, capturing the essence of truth whether taken metaphorically or literally.
To get a glimpse of Paul Harvey’s wisdom, let’s take a moment to listen to his reading of the 1996 version of the same essay. Prepare to be amazed at how some of his “predictions” still ring eerily true to this day.

There’s no denying that Paul Harvey was a remarkable man. His trustworthiness set him apart and made him a beloved figure in the hearts of millions. One of his most renowned broadcasts was the “Letter From God” – a deeply impactful message that resonated with listeners far and wide.
In this powerful piece, Paul Harvey reminds us of God’s intent for our world. He describes how God looked down upon His newly created paradise and realized it needed a caretaker. So, God created a farmer. It’s a poignant reminder of our responsibility to care for and nurture the world around us.
If you’re as intrigued by Paul Harvey’s wisdom as I am, you’ll be delighted to know that his words have also caught the attention of Ram Truck. Experience the awe-inspiring visuals that bring his dramatic “God Made A Farmer” broadcast to life. It’s a testament to the enduring power of his message.
