Give and it shall be given...

...to John Hagee, televangelist and pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio.

Thanks to Harry Seabrook for the link to an article about the kind of money Hagee's raking in. His personal compensation package is $1.25 million on an annual basis. This doesn't include his irrevocable trust which includes "a $2.1 million 7,696-acre ranch outside Brackettville [Texas], with five lodges, including a 'main lodge' and a gun locker. It also includes a manager's house, a smokehouse, a skeet range and three barns."

It almost makes you feel sorry for poor old Paul and Jan Crouch of TBN, who have to live on a combined income of only $751,200.

It sure beats living like those preachers who only have enough faith and "anointing" to get by making tents. That Saul bloke from Tarsus was always upsetting people, too. It's hard to have a successful ministry if they keep running you out of town.

Mr. Hagee makes me laugh....my wife and I sometimes stop and watch his sermons on TBN, just for kicks.

Once in a while, he actually makes some good points...and his style is so entertaining, who could resisit? *grin*

The little box here to read the comments is a bit odd, Dave...it wont enlarge with either a box at the top...not an option, nor will it accept the cursor at either side. and the comments run off the page...any ideas how to make it work?..and dont tell me its a function of aol. When I type in my comments, they stay on the page, but they go off the edge and are not completely seen in the preview. Mary
