Pay Phone to Heaven

We are spending the summer in Gunnison, Co. and every Wednesday we have a park social hour. (plus our own every night) Everyone brings finger foods and we have a local guest speaker. Tonight we had a History Prof from the college. Made me want to go back to school.

He spoke of a business man back in the late 1800's that went west to find a place to start a business. He was a very religious man and went to mass in every town he visited.

At every Catholic church there was a Golden Pay Phone by the pulpit. He would ask the priest the same question. What is the phone for? To call Heaven. What does it cost for a call to Heaven. The priest would answer $10,000. Since he did not have $10,000 he would move on to the next town. Go to the local church, same answer. He traveled all over the west, going to church in every town. Same answer in every town.

Finally, he arrived in Gunnison, Co. He went to mass as he always did. He asked the priest about the Golden Phone by the pulpit. How much for a call to Heaven. The priest smiled and replied $.25. The man could not understand. Everywhere wants $10,000 here it is only a quarter.

The priest smiled and said, that is because it is a local call.

Hoping you are having a great summer.
