Golden Telephone

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 Pennsylvania . Upon entering a Church in Pittsburgh, he saw the usual go lden telephone.

But THIS time, the sign read "Calls: $0.35 cents."

Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, "Father Jones, 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

$0.35 cents a call. Why?

The priest, smiling benignly, replied : "Son, you're

in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania now, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers-5 times Super Bowl Champions, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Pittsburgh Penguins, 3 vibrant rivers meeting at the Point of the most beautiful downtown area around, the city with the best hospitals, neighborhoods and friendliest people in the world!

You're in God's Country....

It's a local call."

AMEN!!!
