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.

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

  2. 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.

    🙂
