Yet he was willing to put himself out there for all of us. Thank you Governor Perry.
A New Yorker was a veyr religious type. Once he retired he decided to visit a church in every state in America.
As he went from state-to-state he noticed a phone in the back of some churches. By the phone was a sign that said "Call Heaven - $10 Dollars A Call".
The man visited every state. From New York to California. After many months and many churches he finished his trip in Galveston, Texas. At a beautiful church. But something was different about this church. He once again saw the phone in the back of the church and the sign. But this sign was different. It said "Call Heaven - $.10 cents".
He sought the preacher out in the Texas church and said to the preacher "I have been all over America and in every church the call to Heaven is $10.00 but your sign says it is only $.10 cents. Why is that?"
The preacher looked at the traveler from New York and chuckled. Then he replied "My son, the reason is simple, in Texas the call to Heaven is a local call".
