Texas,....a 'model' of heaven?

One day a man decided he would visit a church in every state. He starts in New York. In the first church he visits he sees a telephone in the back of the church. In front of the telephone is a sign that says "Call Heaven, $1,000 a minute".

As the man makes his way across the country he see the same sign. From one part of the country to the next, North to South to East to West you can call Heaven for $1,000 a minute. It's the same price in every state.

Finally, an after a very long journey the man visits the last state on his list, Texas. He stops at the first church and see a phone in the back of the church. But the sign says "Call Heaven, $.10 a minute". He figures this must be a mistake. So he finds the preacher and says "in every other state the cost of a call to Heaven is $1,000 a minute! How is it that you can only charge ten cents a minute in Texas!?"

The preacher looks at the man and smiles. Then he says to the man "My son, the answer to your question is simple! Here in Texas it's a local call!"
