Deuteronomy 4:9-10 9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. 10 Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.”

If you’re due to the low levels of light in the looking to do something outside creek. If you prefer artificials, try other than yard work, head to Village spinnerbaits, square bills, and dark Creek. This local natural resource of colored plastic worms Texas rigged. fun is ready to be explored and enjoyed by all. It’s a great place to feel the soft sand between your toes, to listen to hundreds of bird’s singing, to work on your tan, and to enjoy spending time with friends and family. Whether your idea of fun is fishing, swimming, canoeing, or hiking, Village Creek can provide entertainment for the whole family. Village Creek is a great place for bank fishing as well as fishing from a kayak or small flat bottom boat. Another fun way to fish Village Creek is to get out in the water and wade fish. The Creek is home to many different types of game fish including bass, gar, catfish, crappie, and sunBy Silas Beck Student, Age 18

If fishing isn’t your forte, but you love getting out on the water, Village Creek offers great kayaking and canoeing trips. There are multiple places to launch from, depending on your location. The launch site closest to Lumberton is right off U.S. Highway 96, approximately 2 miles outside of town (all launch sites inside Village Creek State Park have been closed indefinitely due to the damage caused by hurricane Harvey). If you are a Kountze resident, the closest boat ramp is located 3.2 miles outside of town on Farm to Market road 418. Silsbee residents are blessed with two access points those being TX highway 327 located 3.6 miles outside of Silsbee, or local launch site Baby Galvez, which is right off U.S. Highway 96, as you enter Silsbee. Each site has its own trip that you can take, ranging from trips of 1-2 hours up to 6 or more hours of steady paddling. A favorite local pastime is going sand bar hop-

ping (commonly known as bar hopping). Launch your floating device of choice and stop at the numerous large white sand bars. Get out of your boat and eat, swim or lay in the sun. No matter what, you’re guaranteed a great time. So, pack a lunch and get out on the water! If you want to enjoy the water without having to strain at an oar, merely go to one of the launch sites. Each sight has a great beach and swimming hole. Some of the sand bars even have great rope swings stretching out over the water. Simply pack some food and drinks, drive to one of the boat ramps listed above, park your vehicle and hike down to a good time. None of the hikes are over a mile, so you don’t have to worry about wearing hiking shoes or carrying a walking stick. However, if hiking is what you love to do, there are hundreds of miles worth of trails just waiting to be traversed by foot or by bike. Head

down to Village Creek State Park, located off U.S. Highway 69/96 North, or up to Roy E. Larsen Sandyland Sanctuary, which is right off TX highway 327 for a great time in nature. These nature preserves are perfect for studying and observing nature. In Village Creek State Park, guided tours are provided to further your outdoor knowledge. Village Creek State Park is also popular for geocaching and campgrounds. So, get out there, roast some marshmallows and sing a song around the campfire, and bring out a little bit of your wild side. If you enjoy being outside in the great outdoors, Village Creek can accommodate you. Nevertheless, don’t let yourself get so caught up
in the fun that you forget common safety. Bring sunscreen and water to avoid coming back looking like a tomato. Also, don’t forget that this is still wild nature preserve, if alligators or snakes are seen just leave them alone. The creek is a moving body of water so for younger, weaker swimmers, life jackets are recommended. NEVER EVER, EVER dive head first into the creek because you never know what’s down there. With these simple safety tips in mind, go have fun. Remember that we are there to enjoy nature, not to destroy it. Stay on the path and pick up your trash. Thus we will all be able to enjoy the beauty of God’s Creation for years to come.

A MEAL PLAN FOR EATING AT HOME
By Crystal Breaux As a busy mom of two, this time of the year is really hectic with spring activities and soccer schedules. I have one child finishing the high school soccer season and another one kicking it off with the Beaumont Youth Soccer Club. As you can imagine with our hectic hours and amazing restaurants in Southeast Texas, we do occasionally dine out. However, my goal is to have a something easy and healthy for my family at home most nights of the week. Some days, it may seem that a home cooked meal is not worth the effort. You might think, “Why bother?” Here are a few statistics that may change your mind.
It’s Healthier for Your Family
A study posted by the journal Medical Express revealed that “those who cooked were more likely” to live longer. The possibility of other factors, besides cooking, was also extensively investigated, but cooking at home clearly remained
Hello, I am Crystal Breaux. I have different roles in my life from mother, wife, friend, teacher, speaker, Life Purpose and Wellness coach, and sometimes I think I’m a taxi driver.

an important factor.
balance the calories.
When you prepare your meals at home, you can choose how much butter, oil, sauce, sodium, etc. there will be in your food as well as your portion size. According to a study with the Economic Research Service, each meal or snack eaten away from home adds an average of 134 calories, compared to the same meal or snacks prepared at home. If you are eating out every day, that alone could contribute to over ½ lb of weight gain a week, if you are not actively doing anything to counter-
There is no doubt that eating home does not just save you calories, it will also save you money. Let’s take for example, fast food, not even a nice sit down restaurant. For a family of four, you are going to spend a minimum of $25 for one meal. A sit down restaurant will easily push the bill to $50 after your tip. Last week, I was able to feed my family, home cooked oven fried chicken with two vegetables and salad for $15. Even better, there were left overs for lunch the next day.

¿Encontraste la casa que quiere comprar? Ahora tu agente trabajará contigo para presentar la oferta al vendedor en la forma correcta. Determinarán cuanto deseas ofertar, propondrán fechas y eventualidades- u otras condiciones que se deben acordar. Si el vendedor acepta tu oferta tendrás oportunidad de inspeccionar la casa y negociar reparaciones. Negociar, negociar y negociar La espera después de hacer la oferta puede ser estresante. ¿Dirán que sí? ¿Dirán que no? Algunos vendedores simplemente aceptan la mejor oferta que reciben, muchos otros hacen una contraoferta. Si eso pasa depende de usted si desea que su agente negocie con el vendedor de la casa o retirarse de la oferta. Esta es un área donde su agente provee su experiencia gran valor usando sus habilidades de negociador, regatee en su nombre y consiga el mejor acuerdo. Haga inspeccionar la casa Si su oferta es aceptada, entonces se firmará un contrato. La mayoría de los contratos incluye contingencias de inspección lo que significa que usted contratará un inspector licenciado para que inspeccione la casa. Los problemas más importantes son: eléctricos, plomería, techo, aire acondicionado, termitas, cimientos y moho. Estos son los problemas más costosos y su agente lo ayudará a negociar los arreglos
con el vendedor. La tasación (The appraisal) Después que tu oferta es aceptada por el dueño el banco que le está otorgando el préstamos contratará a un tasador para valuar la casa. El banco necesita asegurarse que la casa está valuada en la misma cantidad que el préstamo que pediste. Cerrar el trato La última etapa del proceso de la compra es el cierre del trato. En esta etapa el dueño firma el traspaso del título de la propiedad a tu nombre . Tu pagaras tu parte y finalmente el banco le pagará al vendedor. Cuando todo sea dicho y hecho usted tendrá las llaves de la casa y podrá tomar posesión de su nueva casa. Disfrútala!

Visite casas abiertas y mire vecindarios Ahora que tiene en su equipo un agente que conoce sus preferencias de vivienda y conoce su presupuesto y un agente de préstamos que financiara una casa dentro de su presupuesto, es el momento de ponerse serio sobre visitar propiedades.

Mujeres en los negocios Say, “I saw it in SETX Family Guide”
Este año ha sido histórico para las mujeres profesionales latinas del Triángulo Dorado. Hemos logrado crear la SETX Hispanic Women’s Network, una de red de mujeres, de habla hispana y profesionales o con ganas de serlo. Y lo festejaremos el 9 de mayo con una fiesta aniversario. Hoy en día somos casi 60 miembros, 12 de las cuales somos el comité organizador. ¿Cuáles son nuestros objetivos? Potenciar a las mujeres hispanas, a través de talleres de desarrollo profesional, redes de colaboración y servicio a la comunidad. ¿Qué nos detiene? Nada.

Luciana Paulise Llegué hace poco menos de dos años a Beaumont viniendo desde Argentina, y me sentí bastante sola al principio, en un nuevo país, nuevo idioma, nuevas costumbres, nueva casa y nuevos amigos. Sentía que no había un espacio para que las mujeres hispanas desarrollaran su poder. Creí que era la única, pero poco a poco, y conversando con otras mujeres, descubrimos que a todas algo nos faltaba, y queríamos crearlo. Nos faltaba unirnos para animarnos a más. Como presidente electa de la organización, estoy dispuesta a ayudarte en lo que necesites para encontrar tu camino. To Advertise Call (512)567-8068

9 Por tanto, guárdate, y guarda tu alma con diligencia, que no te olvides de las cosas que tus ojos han visto, ni se aparten de tu corazón todos los días de tu vida: y enseñarlas has á tus hijos, y á los hijos de tus hijos;
¡Hola Mayo! ¡Feliz Día de las Madres! Te celebramos, querida mamá. Eres tan importante. Cuidas a tus hijos, haces el desayuno, el almuerzo, la cena, aseguras que cepillan los dientes, escuchas a los cuentos, y trabajas a convencerlos cuánto los ama. Eres una parte invaluable de la voz dentro de sus hijos, la voz que más influye a crecer su autoestima. Eres el modelo que van a ejemplificar. Cree en tí misma, dale una palmadita en la espalda, y un guiño en el espejo. Lo mereces.
