Great! Now I can convince my church to give me more housing allowance so I can buy that home on the ocean I’ve always dreamed of!

Blowin’ A New Mind, 1970. Nice.

Greg, I think you might need a Grammy first. Sorry. Don’t worry, though, you can probably get a house on Lake Delhi for a good deal.

Actually — this might be very good news for pastors who live in a parsonage — but have a house somewhere else that they are using as a future retirement home or a “fallback” option if they need it. One of the frustrations of having a parsonage is that when you retire (or get the boot or whatever), you don’t have a place to live, no equity, etc… This would make it far easier for pastors to plan for their future.
