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 '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, Dallas, 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 in Massachusetts. Upon entering a church in
Boston , MA 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 each church 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? Why?"
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Son, you're in Boston,
Massachusetts now, home of the Boston Red Sox, the Patriots, Celtics,
Bruins and Boston College! "
You're in God's Country, It's a local call.
