NC Heaven

Just a little reminder of wonderful weekends in the NC mountains (or coast for that matter). This was passed on to me from a friend I grew up with that misses NC terribly!

TELEPHONES

A man decided to write a book about churches across the United States.

First, the man visited a church in California. During his tour of the
magnificent building he noticed a golden telephone on a wall with a sign that read $10,000 a minute". Intrigued, he asked about the phone and was told that the golden phone was a direct line to Heaven that could be used to talk directly to God.

Next, the man visited a church in New York. Again, he noticed exactly the same type of phone, with exactly the same sign on it. Sure enough, upon inquiry, he was informed that it was a direct line to Heaven and could be used to talk directly to God.

Continuing through many other states, he found the same phone with the
same sign and was repeatedly told the same story, until, finally, upon
arriving at a church in North Carolina, he spotted the usual golden
telephone with a different sign. This time, the sign read "Calls 25 cents." He quickly found the preacher and said to him, "I have been in
cities all across the country, and in each church I found this golden telephone, I was told that it was a direct line to Heaven, and that I
could talk to God. But, in all the other churches across the country, the charge was $10,000.00 a minute. Your sign reads 25 cents a call. "Why?" The preacher smiled at him and said "My son,
that's very easy to explain. You see, you're in North Carolina now and, of course, it's a local call from here."
