Church Phone
A man in Topeka, Kansas, decided to write a book about churches around
the country. He started by flying to San Francisco, and started 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, "$10,000 per minute."
Seeking out the pastor, he asked about the phone and the sign.
The pastor answered that the 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, Salt Lake City,
Denver, Chicago, Milwaukee, and around the United States, he found more
such phones, with the same sign, and the same explanation from each
pastor.
Finally, the man arrived in the lovely Green Bay, Wisconsin. Upon entering
a church, behold: he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the
sign read: "Calls: 25 cents"! Fascinated, the man asked to speak with
the pastor.
"Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each
church I have found this golden telephone, and have been told it is a
direct line to Heaven, and that I could use it to talk to God.. But in
20 other churches, the cost was $10,000 per minute. Your sign says 25
cents per call Why is that?
(I just love this part!)
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied: "Son, you're in the north now,
and it's a local call.
