It's a pleasure to come into your homes

and if you're ever in our area, please stop by

and be a part of one of our services,

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

I like to start with something funny

and I heard about this reporter.

He was visiting churches across the nation.

While in the Northeast, he saw this gold phone on the wall

with a sign that said, calls $10,000 per minute.

He asked the pastor what it meant.

The pastor explained that that was a direct line to heaven.

If you were willing to pay the price,

you could talk directly to God.

He continued visiting different churches,

saw the same gold phone, the same sign.

When he finally made it to Texas, he saw the phone,

but the sign said, calls $0.25 per minute.
