I Almost Laughed Out Loud
So Paula and I were driving through Menlo Park today (the town just north of Stanford) when we saw a house for rent. We decided to call just to check on the price.
$9,500 a month.
It boggles my mind–whoever rents that house will wind up paying $114,000 a year ON RENT!
Back in Lousiana our ministry BOUGHT a house and a six-unit apartment complex for almost $25,000 less.
Somehow, I was able to refrain from laughing out loud on the phone.

Guess you’re not in Louisiana anymore, eh, toto? Or Missouri, for that matter.
Whew! Welcome to the high-rent district!

I don’t understand? Doesn’t a XA campus minister’s salary start at $250,000 a year?

Well, yes. But after the monthly payment on the Lear jet and our trips to Cancun who has an extra $9,500 lying around?
I mean $7,500 is one thing, but $9,500? Yeah, right.
