A man in Topeka, Kansas decided to write a book about churches around
the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and began working
east from there. Going to a very large church, he began taking
photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the
vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read "Calls: $10,000
a minute."
Seeking out the pastor, he asked about the phone and the sign. The
pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to
Heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God. The man
thanked the pastor and continued on his way.
As he continued to visit churches in Seattle, Tulsa, St. Louis, Chicago,
Milwaukee, and around the United States, he found more phones, with the
same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived at a small church in Dayton , Texas . Behold- he saw
the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read: "Calls: 35
cents." Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, "Reverend, I have
been in cities all across the country and in many churches I have found
this golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven
and that I could talk to God, but in the other churches the cost was
$10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call. "Why?"
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Son, you're in Texas
now........................ It's a local call."
