By Chris LundstromPublisher/EditorU.S. Congressman Michael

Cloud (R) has been busy sincehe took office last July. Withcontroversial issues such asborder security, immigration,healthcare, and the ongoingMueller investigation, Cloud iscommitted to serving the peo-ple of the 27th District.Cloud was in Edna last

week and I got to sit down withhim and speak with him to gethis opinion on some current is-sues.

What do you think aboutthe current push for late-termabortion?

(Cloud) I’m pro-life, I be-lieve life begins at conception.We are doing a lot of work topromote pro-life legislation.I’ve co-sponsored a lot of pro-life bills including the Heart-beat Protection Act, the bigthing here is we know a lotmore about what goes on in achild’s development since the60s, ultrasounds weren’t com-mon, now we can watch achild develop, we can hear theheart beat, see the facial emo-tions and expressions and un-derstand that during anabortion they even feel pain.Most of the American peoplerealize it is a living, viablebeing and that’s why you seeabortion not being as popular

as it was.Do you see any progress

being made on healthcareand what is your opinion onMedicare for all?

(Cloud) I’m for more mar-ket-based solutions to health-care, doing what we can. Thegoal is to increase access, theentire conversation has been alittle misguided in thinking themore people we get on healthinsurance rolls the better. Ithink we need to focus on pro-viding access to true healthcare, to where we have more

people who have the ability to

receive care. Right now wehave more people paying morefor insurance and getting lesscare and for the first time inAmerican history we have lifeexpectancy going down. It’ssomething we definitely needto look at.I’m sure Medicare for all

will be a topic in the 2020presidential race, there’s al-ready a crop of candidatesforming, and they seem tomake it an issue already. Weneed to understand the differ-

ence between policy that

Our border security debatehas become not only a questionof effectiveness but of morality– and I welcome that debate.But to debate border securityon the basis of morality, wemust not only ask how thisissue affects our own nation butalso how our national policyaffects those beyond our bor-ders.In Mexico and developing

Central American nations,criminal cartels maintain anoutsized influence. We knowthat cartels profit from smug-gling drugs and humans acrossthe border. They also siphon oilfrom pipelines. They extortfamilies and businesses. Theykidnap for profit. Their corrup-tion influences governmentand law enforcement, hinder-ing the development of thesenations. The brutality of thesecriminal cartels has led to150,000 homicides in Mexicoalone since 2006.Our federal government’s

unwillingness to control ourborder allows cartels to amassprofits of tens of billions ofdollars each year smugglingdrugs and humans into ourcountry, with a devastating tollon the most vulnerable in ournation. Our lack of border se-curity allows these criminalcartels to expand their corrupt-ing influence that makes posi-tive change so difficult in thesedeveloping countries.The lack of border security

has also created a magnet forillegal immigrants – an expec-tation that they can enter theUnited States without conse-quences – creating an unjustand dangerous system in whichcartels profit by transportingimmigrants illegally into ourcountry. And the immigrantsand their children are often indanger of human trafficking ordeath. More than 7,000 immi-grants have died crossing theborder over the past 20 years.This danger was tragically il-

lustrated a few years ago out-side Victoria when 19 migrantsdied of suffocation and over-heating, trapped in the back ofa trailer, abandoned by a smug-gler with a callous disregard for

human life. When I visited theRio Grande Valley recently, arancher with land on the borderreported that he finds dead mi-grants on his land all the time.The goal should be to deter

illegal immigration and createa lawful, orderly process inwhich anyone seeking to enterthe country does so legally at aport of entry, reducing the dan-ger to immigrants and cartels’ability to profit.Certainly strengthening bor-

der security will not enddrug/human trafficking – in thesame way that our local policeforce doesn’t end crime. ButCustoms and Border Protec-tion reports that the UnitedStates has already drasticallyreduced illegal crossings inborder zones protected byfencing. A 1993 border fencein El Paso, for example, com-bined with strengthening bor-der patrol efforts, led to a 72percent drop in illegal immi-gration in that sector in a singleyear. A wall would also allowCBP to concentrate their ef-forts on ports of entry and usetheir manpower more effi-ciently.Unfortunately, like too many

issues these days, border secu-rity has become a divisive anda partisan issue, when histori-cally this has had broad sup-port. In 2006, the Secure FenceAct, which provided for 700miles of additional borderfencing, passed the Senate by avote of 80-19, with the supportof Senators Obama, Clinton,and Schumer.But there should be nothing

partisan about ending a hu-manitarian and criminal crisisthat is driven by cartels – andenabled by our federal govern-ment’s failure to act. Congresshas a responsibility not just toprotect the citizens of ourcountry but to end the humani-tarian crisis on our southernborder.

AUSTIN — Voters wouldhave the power to preventtheir local governmental bod-ies from increasing propertytaxes by more than 2.5 per-cent per year under legislationintroduced in the Texas Sen-ate and House on Jan. 31.Senate Bill 2 and identical

House Bill 2, both 116 pagesin length, propose to amendthe current law, in which localtaxing authorities may in-crease taxes up to 8 percenteach year before a rollbackelection would be required.Cries for relief are wide-spread, given the leeway cur-rent law affords and the factthat county appraisal districtsmay increase the value ofproperty at the same time.Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who

presides over the Senate, said,“People desperately needproperty tax reform, our busi-nesses need property tax re-form, and we have set out, onthis date, early in session,with a major piece of legisla-tion. We are setting the tonefor the rest of the session onthis issue,” Patrick added.In the introduced versions

of SB 2 and HB 2, taxing au-thorities that bring in less than$15 million in annual revenuewould be exempt from thenew requirements.Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-

Houston, chair of the SenateProperty Tax Committee,said, “The vexing problemfacing taxpayers is that taxbills are going up at least twoor three times faster than theycan handle. I think that theconcept of having a two and ahalf percent rollback rateacross the board means there'sa universal solution.”According to the Senate

News Service, local electedofficials have turned out inforce to oppose caps on taxinggrowth, saying it harms theirability to deliver on neededservices in their home com-munities. So far, those effortshave succeeded, as similar

measures have failed to reachthe governor’s desk in previ-ous sessions. Patrick said that while he

hopes local officials will workwith the state on this issue, ul-timately property tax reformis coming. “We have beenstopped time after time in thepast by a total resistance to re-form,” he said. “The days ofsaying, ‘No, we’re going tokill the bill because we don’twant change’ . . . that day isover.”The Senate Property Tax

Committee will meet thisweek to discuss SB 2. HouseSpeaker Dennis Bonnen soonwill assign HB 2 to a commit-tee. HB 2 author Rep. DustinBurrows, R-Lubbock, chairsthe House Ways & MeansCommittee, which is sched-uled to meet this week.

Advisory sparks lawsuitsLULAC, the League ofUnited Latin American Citi-zens, and MALDEF, the Mex-ican American Legal Defenseand Education Fund, lastweek filed lawsuits allegingthe violation of voting rights,voter suppression and voterintimidation over an electionadvisory dated Jan. 25 and ad-dressed to county voter regis-trars by Texas Secretary ofState David Whitley.In the advisory, Whitley in-

formed the registrars thatsome 95,000 individuals iden-tified by the Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety asnon-U.S. citizens have match-ing voter registration recordsin Texas. Whitley said about58,000 of those have voted inone or more Texas elections,and that those records wouldbe turned over to the TexasAttorney General's office for

potential legal action.MALDEF’s lawsuit was

filed in the U.S. District Courtfor the Southern District ofTexas, Corpus Christi Divi-sion. LULAC’s lawsuit wasfiled in the U.S. District Courtfor the Western District ofTexas, San Antonio. Bothcivil rights organizations seekto stop the state from remov-ing registered voters, particu-larly those who arenaturalized, from voter rolls.MALDEF's lawsuit names asdefendants Whitley, Texas At-torney General Ken Paxton,Gov. Greg Abbott and Galve-ston County Tax Assessor andCollector Cheryl E. Johnson,in their official capacities.LULAC's lawsuit names asdefendants Whitley and Pax-ton.

Land Office sets deadlineHurricane Harvey survivors

living in temporary housingunits provided by the FederalEmergency ManagementAgency and the Texas Gen-eral Land Office need to so-lidify their housing plansleading up to a Feb. 25 dead-line, Land CommissionerGeorge P. Bush announcedJan. 30.Those who continue to

• Continued from Page 1Aneed to understand the differ-ence between policy that worksin the context of history and re-ality versus well-intendedwishful thinking that doesn’twork in a pragmatic sense.What are your thoughts on

the government shutdown?(Cloud) One thing that has

been overlooked is that beforeChristmas we passed out of thehouse a bill that both fundedthe government and funded aborder wall or border barrier,however people want to phraseit, that would have avoided theshutdown. I voted for the bill. Ithink it would have broad sup-port now. Nancy Pelosi said“you don’t have the votes” andwe passed it overwhelmingly.Unfortunately it didn’t getthough the Senate.

The misnomer in this wholediscussion is everybody thinksbecause you have a Republicanmajority in the House and aRepublican majority in theSenate and the White Houseyou should be able to get stuffdone, but by and large in theSenate everything takes 60votes and in a way the SenateDemocrats kind of get awayscott-free on a lot of this bybeing the obstructionists with-out looking like the obstruc-tionists because most peoplethink the Republicans have themajority. That particular billthat would have funded thegovernment and solved at leastthe next steps of border secu-rity would have kept us out ofthe shutdown, except for Sen-ate Democrats who blocked it.What are your thoughts on

the Mueller investigation?(Cloud) We are waiting to

see the results of the Muellerinvestigation, the White Houseis even waiting, I’ve talked to anumber of individuals who’veseen a number of classifieddocuments that the presidentcould declassify that wouldturn this whole investigation onits head. But my understandingis he is wanting to see theMueller investigation play outand that come to a conclusionas well. This whole investiga-

tion is based on a fraudulentdocument that was paid for bya political party so you have toreally question a lot of it. Youalways want to search for truth,you don’t want to discountsomething because someone isfrom your political party or not.You want to get down to thebottom of what the real issue is.It certainly brings into questionthat a lot of FBI agents thathave been fired, the initialpremise of this if we are goingto investigate we need to inves-tigate wherever it takes us.What is your take on Presi-

dent Donald Trump?(Cloud) He is a very high en-

ergy person. One particularnight he had a rally in Houstonand I was invited to fly backwith him. We were at the rally,which was one of the mosthigh energy events I’ve beento. So that’s a few hours, we goback, take a caravan back to theairport, hop on Airforce One.There’s that scene in Star Wars,“stay on target, – make sureyou get the job done”. I didn’twant to walk away with a lot ofgreat photos on Air Force oneand not get the job done. I wasfocused on that.

There’s a room on the planethat’s like a dining room/con-ference room/situation room inthe sky. We’re sitting in therewith his family and a couple ofassistants, I think there’s about8 of seats in the room. It’s a 3-hour flight back, and about anhour and half into it he [thePresident] comes in and says“hey, how are you doing?” I’mthinking, I’m young compara-tively and I’m worn out and hecomes in all super-high energy.We made our case about fund-ing the ports and he said,“yeah, we’ll get that done, let’sget that done this week. Pieceof cake, let’s do that.”

The very next day he wasgiving a speech and we hadmet and talked to him aboutmaking the case for ports in ourdistrict and how important it is.Right now our nation is pro-ducing more oil than we canget out. We have the opportu-nity to become world leaders in

oil exports, which not only willhelp our producers and helpour economy here and help ourtrade deficit. Think of what itwould do on the geo-politicallandscape of the nations whoare our allies and currentlyhave to buy oil from our ene-mies or nations that don’t haveour best intentions in mindwould now be able to buy oilfrom us if we can just get it tothem.

We talked about the impor-tance of expanding our capa-bilities in that regard. The nextday he was giving a speechsomewhere for a completelydifferent event, on a differenttopic and in the middle of it hepopped up and said, “I was justtalking to the people fromTexas last night. They are try-ing to get the oil out, they needto get the big ships” in hiswhole fashion. He called oneof his staff members up on thestage and said, “do you thinkwe can get this done? They aretrying to get the oil out, it’sgoing to save billions of dol-lars, they need to get the oilout, can we get that done? Ok,he’s going to get this done.

We’ve been able to take thatvideo and go around the ad-ministration and say “the bosswants it done, what can we doto get this done?” We’ve al-ready seen great progress. Got-ten tens of millions of dollarsinvested into the port in ourdistrict. Corpus Christi is themajor one, that’s where thepipes are going, but it does af-fect our whole district.

That is a few things we’vebeen working on, but there’sstill a lot of work to be done. What do you think about

the movement to abolish ICE?(Cloud) The men and

women who serve in our bor-der customs and immigrationdo great work and care aboutpeople and care about the se-curity of our nation and shouldbe respected for what they do.Not only should they be re-spected but they should begiven the tools they need to dotheir job well. What is your view on term

limits?(Cloud) I co-sponsored a bill

on that and would definitely befor term limits.

Now that you’ve been inD.C. for a little while, what isyour opinion of it?

(Cloud) My family lives inVictoria and I fly to Washing-ton on Monday and come backThursday or Friday. I’ll take aday in Texas over a day in D.C.any day. There’s certainly neatmoments, but I’m there towork. The hardest part is I missmy family, to be honest. WhenI’m there I’m often in meetingsuntil 8 or 9 at night and then I’llstart my reading at that point. Ijoke with my kids that my staffgives me homework. They’llcomplain about homework andI’ll tell them see, homeworknever stops! I’ll be reading upon bills or legislation or what’sgoing on.

Cloud said he is planningfor his staff to hold regularmeetings in towns around thedistrict about once a week.These “mobile office hours”will make it easier for residentsto offer input about issues be-fore Congress and request as-sistance with any issues theyhave with Veterans Affairs,hurricane recovery, or anyother federal agency.

“My office is here to serve,”he said. “Even during the shut-down it didn’t change what ouroffice staff was doing in thesense that we are still workingon hurricane recovery and toadvance our district and the in-terest in our district to help pro-mote economic development.”

He said Hurricane Harveyrelief is an ongoing process.

“We hired someone in theoffice full time whose only jobis helping individuals or com-munity entities such as aschool district, county or citygovernment, through theprocess. On a weekly basis weare seeing progress on differ-ent issues.

“Our office is here to helppeople. They can go tocloud.house.gov to connectwith us or sign up for ourweekly newsletter. We try togive a weekly update onwhat’s going on, it’s kind ofour report to the ‘boss’.”

Cloud also said if anyone isinterested in going to D.C. hisoffice can set up tours to makesure their family gets the mostout of the trip.

Dear Rusty: My husbandstarted getting Social Securitydisability in 2016 at the age of61; he is now 63. Did it auto-matically switch over to regu-lar Social Security? Also, he isfeeling bored and would like tohave a little job. Is he allowedto work just so many hours perweek, or does it go by howmuch you make per month? Isit just reported at tax time nextyear?

Signed: Helpful WifeDear Helpful: Your hus-

band’s SS disability will auto-matically switch to hisretirement benefits when hereaches his full retirement age(66 years and 2 months if hewas born in 1955). Regarding his working

while still collecting SSDI ben-efits, Social Security encour-ages those on disability toattempt to return to the work-force, so your husband shouldconsider enrolling in the SocialSecurity “Ticket to Work” pro-gram, which will provide himthe chance to test his ability towork for at least nine “trial

work months” during a 60-month time frame. During this trial work period

he’ll receive his full SSDI ben-efit regardless of how much heearns. Briefly, any month heearns more than $850 (for2018) counts as a trial workmonth (if he earns less thanthat it doesn’t count as a trialwork month). After he has reached nine

trial work months, he can stillreceive his SSDI benefits foranother 36 months, except thathe won’t receive benefits forany month that his earnings ex-ceed what Social Security con-siders “substantial gainfulactivity”, or “SGA”, which for2018 is $1180. If his benefits stop because

his earnings regularly exceed“SGA”, and within 5 years heis once again unable to workdue to his disability, his dis-ability benefits can be restarted(without having to re-apply). You can get full details about

Working While on Disabilityand the Ticket to Work pro-gram by going to this link:

https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10095.pdf. The Ticket toWork program should allowyour husband to work and testhis physical limits without hav-ing a negative impact to his So-cial Security disability benefits. As for reporting his earn-

ings, your husband must notifySocial Security when he startsto work and must, as well, re-port his monthly earnings toSocial Security at 1-800-772-1213. Once he has entered the

Ticket to Work program, heshould also report to Social Se-curity if he stops working.And, of course, once his dis-ability benefits convert to regu-lar retirement benefits at hisfull retirement age, there is norestriction on how much he canearn.This article is intended for

When legendary funny manJackie Gleason, who I have al-ways loved, was asked aboutdieting he said "The secondday of a diet is always easierthan the first. By the secondday you're off it." I have been on the Atkins

diet for a little more than aweek and I am ready to be offof it, kinda. I am glad to be los-ing a little weight, to be honestit was about time, but I alsomiss the foods that got me inthis mess in the first place. The Atkins plan limits car-

bohydrates and has worked forme in the past. In some ways Ifind it easier than other dietsand in other ways it is harder. Ilove that I am not hungry onthis diet, I can eat bacon, eggs,salads and steaks but I ammissing out on rolls, potatoes,tortillas and sweet treats, allwhich I LOVE. The Atkins diet is easier for

me because my lifestyle in-cludes lots of traveling and eat-ing out and in the past when Ihave been on strictly low calo-rie diets I have failed because I

couldn't maintain both the life Ilove and the diet program. Until you are dieting you

don't often realize how muchof your life and in-teractions withfriends, family andeven clients revolvearound food, but ifyou are like me theytruly do. Food, food,food it is every-where! From a quick bite

for lunch to catch upwith friends, to adinner date withyour partner, andeven for drinks after work withco-workers, there is no escapeand why would we want thereto be? Food is one of the great

pleasures of life, which makesit easy to over indulge. For meto combat the battle of thebulge I have to feel like I canparticipate in life fully, and lastweek when I was out to dinnerin Austin, Atkins let me feellike I could genuinely enjoy theevening.

I was out with some gal palsand we decided to eat at Ja-coby's Restaurant & Mercan-tile, which was the perfect

choice for meand my low-carbdiet. Jacoby's is a"ranch to table"restaurant mean-ing that they onlyserve JacobyBrand Beefwhich they de-scribe as "bred,born, raised, andprocessed inCentral, Texasby the Jacoby

Family", and it is truly excep-tional, tender and bursting withoutstanding flavor. The company was great, the

meal was fantastic and the at-mosphere of the restaurant andmercantile were even better. Ilove shopping almost as muchas I love eating so a restaurantthat combines the two is al-ways right up my alley and atJacoby's they have curated ashop full of interesting and un-usual finds.

It was a feast for the senseseven before we sat down fordinner. By the time we wereshown to the table I had al-ready selected a little few treas-ures. Located on CesarChavez, right on the banks ofthe Colorado River, Jacoby's ishoused in the humble lookingformer Kanetzky Electricalbuilding. If you find yourself in the

area and decide to go, don't letthe utilitarian exterior fool you,the food and atmosphere aretruly second to none! We began our meal with a

hearty serving of the home-

made pimento cheese and itwas some of the best I haveever tasted. It was the perfectlow-carb snack and I was in-spired me to make a batch toshare on Super Bowl Sunday.This version is a little spicy andbest if you make it a day beforeserving. Jalapeno Pimento Cheese2 c. shredded extra-sharp ched-dar cheese8 ozs. softened cream cheese1/2 c. Duke's mayonnaise 1/4 tsp. garlic powder1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp. onion powder1/4 tsp. pepper

1 seeded and chopped jalapeno 1 4 oz. jar diced pimento,drainedUsing a stand mixer blend

the cheddar cheese, creamcheese, mayonnaise, garlicpowder, cayenne pepper, onionpowder, pepper, jalapeno, andpimento.Beat until thoroughly com-

bined. Cover and refrigeratefor 4 hours or overnight. Servewith crackers or on an sand-wich. NOTE: For the best result

grate the cheese yourself ratherthan using already gratedcheese.

502 Apollo Dr. 361-782-3108Pastor M.D. Yonts


When I was in the Seminary, I had threeroommates. I have never been closer to anyother men here on earth. We were likebrothers.Have you ever had anybody like that in

your life? They aren’t related to you, butthey are family.Family has your back. Family stick by

you when no one else will. Family will takeyour side when others come at you, no mat-ter what.It’s wonderful to have family like that, but

we all need at least one friend.A friend is different than family. Like

family, a friend will love you and stand byyour side. A friend, however, will also tellyou what you don’t want to hear. A friendwill tell you when you’re wrong. A friendwill push you to be a better person.It’s wonderful to have family who sup-

port you, but a true friend is a gift of God.A friend doesn’t enable you to do bad

things. A friend doesn’t silently sit by andwatch you hurt yourself or others. A frienddoesn’t encourage you to get drunk. Afriend doesn’t help you get away withthings at work or school or in your mar-riage.A friend tells you when you’ve had too

much. A friend takes away your keys. Afriend encourages you to work things outwith your wife.A friend will risk your friendship if it

means helping you.A true friend will always take you back

to Jesus. If you don’t believe in God or areslowly sliding away from your faith, afriend won’t stand idly by. Though you maynot want to hear it – though it may mean

losing your friendship – a friend will alwaystry to help you see Jesus and what he did tosave you.A friend won’t let you blindly wander

down the road to hell without saying any-thing.That’s what we so often forget. If we

truly believe what the Bible says – if faith inJesus is the only way to be saved from thehell we all deserve – how can we not sayanything? No friend would knowingly lettheir friend go to hell.So that means having the tough conver-

sations. It means inviting them to church. Itmeans praying for them and being an ex-ample of faith and love in their lives.This coming Sunday at our church we

will have our annual Bring-a-Friend Sun-day. Every year, we have at least one spe-cial Sunday in which we encourage ourmembers to invite a friend, a family mem-ber or an acquaintance to go to church withthem.Honestly, though, you don’t need a spe-

cial Sunday to invite a friend to church. Ifthey don’t know or believe in Jesus, if theyhave gotten away from God or church, whatare you waiting for? You never know whenit will be too late.So have that conversation. Invite them to

church.That’s what a friend does.Pastor Andrew Schroer has been a pastor

for 20 years and is currently serving at Re-deemer Lutheran Church with campuses inEdna and Victoria, Texas. Read more of hisdevotional writing and contact him at364DaysofThanksgiving.com.

Let her take care of the payments

Dear Dave,My daughter is in college,

and I’ve al-w a y swarned herto stayaway fromc r e d i tcards. Re-cently, Ilearned shegot a de-partment store credit card de-spite my advice. She hasstayed within her credit limit,but she has never made any ofthe payments. At this point,she owes about $3,500. She’sa good student, and I want tolook at this as a young per-son’s mistake. Should I pay itoff for her this one time?

JosephDear Joseph,You’re right, this is a typi-

cal young person’s mistake.

Like a lot of mistakes our kidsmake, it’s one that’s bad andwonderful at the same time.It’s bad because, if she hadjust listened to dear old dad,she would’ve avoided a mess.It’s wonderful, though, be-cause it gives you the oppor-tunity to provide her with areal world, teachable moment.I understand you wanting to

help her out “this one time.” Itmeans you have a good heart,and that you care about yourdaughter and love her. There’sa reality here, though, I hopeyou won’t overlook. It’s herdebt, not yours. She knewwhat she was doing when shesigned up for that credit card.She knew what it meant, whatwas expected, and she is theone who should have to makegood on the repayment. Theentire deal is legal and fair.At this point, my advice is

to put your arm around her,talk to her, and lovingly ex-

plain where she went wrongand why it was a bad idea.You can even help her find apart-time job if she doesn’thave one right now, so she canpay off her debt and get out ofthis mess. But leave the pay-ments to her. My guess is bythe time she finishes workingher tail off to pay this debt shewill have learned a lessonshe’ll remember for the rest ofher life!

My dictionary, the Web-ster’s NewWorld Col-lege Dic-t i o n a r y ,defines cri-sis as “atime ofgreat dan-ger or trou-ble whichthreatens to result in unpleas-ant consequences.” Not having good food is a

crisis. It can lead to starvationwhich I would imagine wouldnot be a pleasant conse-quence! Because of the gov-ernment shutdown, my wifeasked me last month, “whatabout the people on SNAP?”SNAP is Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program, it’sFood Stamps. I did a little research and

learned some things aboutSNAP. It turns out that overhalf of SNAP householdswith at least one working age,non-disabled adult does havea worker in the home. I alsolearned that because manyworkers turn to SNAP be-tween jobs, more than 80%worked in the year before re-ceiving SNAP. Additionally, 11% of

SNAP recipients are elderlyand 26% are disabled. Thatmath doesn’t work for me soit’s obvious that there aresome elderly and disabledpeople who are working someas well. All that means that athird of SNAP recipients areelderly and/or disabled andmost of the rest are workingpeople, between jobs. We breathed a big sigh of

relief when the governmentgot funding through February15th, but there is no guarantee

about February 16th. Eventhough February SNAP waspaid, and the furloughed fed-eral workers are supposed toget backpay, who knowswhen our government will de-cide to spend more energypointing out why everyoneelse is wrong than finding so-lutions?I’ve known for a long time

that SNAP benefits can beused to purchase vegetableseeds and I mentioned that tomy wife. Her response wasthat it’s a little late if peoplearen’t going to get theirSNAP for a while. My re-sponse was that it’s time forpeople to get busy!Vegetable plants don’t

make vegetables overnight, ittakes a couple of months.While it’s too late to plant forFebruary and March food, it’snot too late to get busy plant-ing and taking responsibilityfor your family’s food secu-rity. As mentioned in last

week’s article, with a govern-ment shutdown, food inspec-tions are not up to par and youcan have all the money in theworld and not have safe foodunless you grow your own.Whether you buy your

seeds with SNAP or usegreenback dollars, now is thetime for planting severalthings. February is the timeto plant carrots, greens, peas,potatoes, radishes, andturnips. February is also the time

plant seeds indoors for starterplants of cantaloupe, cucum-bers, corn, eggplant, peppers,summer squash, and toma-toes. In March it will be timeto plant seeds for beans,beets, cantaloupe, corn, salad

greens, potatoes, radishes,squash, and turnips. Martha plays a game with

herself of trying to not go tothe grocery store but once permonth. Recently I’ve comeup with a new joke for her.I’ll come in the house and an-nounce that I’ve been groceryshopping. To be fair, I tend towear out my good jokes. One day before time for

Martha to go back to workingher 12-hour shifts, she hadspent the morning cooking ahuge pot of collards and I hadvacuum sealed some frozenbroccoli. The day before shestir-fried some cabbage andcooked a big pot of carrots.She had made her monthlyforay to the grocery store andhad the refrigerator well or-ganized. So, when I came in an-

nouncing that I had been gro-cery shopping, she wasn’tvery amused to learn that Ihad a huge cabbage and a 3-gallon bucket of broccoli andcauliflower from my shop-ping trip in the back yard.When I asked her if shewanted me to go back andshop for some carrots, she as-sured me that would be un-necessary. Just remember that it takes

a couple of months, but if youstart now, you can go groceryshopping for safe, nutritiousfood in your back yard inApril and May. The awesome thing about

this coup is that Republicansand Democrats alike cangrow food and both sides ofthe aisle have a tendency toeat. Email your comments and

We encourage your questions. All inquiries will be kept confidential

We seek Bible answers to Bible questions. We hope you enjoy this column andwill participate in sending your questions to us to use in this column. It is our in-tent to get everyone to reading their Bibles and searching the scriptures. We believewe are guided in our affairs today by God’s Word, the Bible. We believe that ifeveryone followed the scriptures, there would be no division in the religious com-munity. We seek therefore, to center our minds on what the Bible says, so that weall might be one. (1Cor. 1:10) Please read Rom. 1:16, 2 Timothy 2:15, & 2 Tim-othy 3:16, 17.

Parenting Pitfalls: PartialityShowing partiality with our children is another pitfall

we must avoid if we want to raise good and godly kids.Believe it or not, this is an easy trap for us to fall into.Perhaps one child shares a similar interest we have so wetend to spend more time with them than our other chil-dren. Or perhaps, when one child is easier to parent, wemay favor them over the child who is more demandingand difficult. Any number of things could cause a parentto favor one child over another. Such was the case withJacob and his brother Esau. The Bible says that their fa-ther Isaac favored Esau over Jacob because he loved toeat the game Esau hunted, but their mother Rebekah fa-vored Jacob who was a quiet man (Genesis 25:19-28).Partiality in our parenting will hurt our marriages

(Genesis 27:1-13). Because of her partiality towardJacob, Rebekah was willing to hurt and deceive her hus-band. The same thing could happen to us. We could hurtour spouse and damage our marriages, all in the name ofloving our child. Not only will partiality undermine our marriages, but it

will hurt our children too. Isaac and Rebekah’s fa-voritism led to jealousy and hatred between Jacob andEsau (Genesis 27:41-45). It led to a family separationthat lasted many years. Unfortunately, Jacob went on tostruggle with this same problem with his children (Gene-sis 37:3-4).The Bible teaches us that God, our heavenly father,

doesn’t practice partiality (Acts 10:34). He loves every-one (John 3:16). Since He doesn’t practice partialitywhen it comes to His children, we can’t afford to play fa-vorites with our own (Romans 2:11; James 2:1, 9). Let’slearn from His good example and be impartial with ourkids, loving them all and seeking what is best for each ofthem (Psalm 127:3).

By Michael BrooksStaff WriterEdna Elementary and In-

dustrial schools have beenstruck with various sick-nesses over the last twoweeks.Edna Elementary has been

particularly hard hit by theflu.“On Wednesday we had 93

kids that were absent becauseof sickness, and a good por-tion of them had the flu,” EEPEIMS Clerk Gail Bartonsaid. “The next day therewere 80 out and both days wehad more than 10 go homebecause of sickness.”At Industrial, the flu joins a

long list of sickness over thelast two weeks.“It was bronchitis, strep,

the flu – we have been hit

with everything here lately,”Sandy Meador, IndustrialHigh School attendance clerksaid. “It was rough for thecheer squad. Half of them hadthe flu the week before thestate competition.”With the kids at school get-

ting sick, the Jackson CountyMedical Clinic and hospitalhas been full of sick peoplethe last few weeks.“It has been overwhelming

since last week,” Cesar Mal-donado M.D. said. “We havehad many come in from theelementary and we had over10 cases of the flu in one dayat both the emergency roomand the clinic.Maldonado said all they

have seen so far is “Type A”flu, and there are flu shotsavailable to help.

“Lately it had been morethe parents of the kids with flusymptoms,” he said. “It seemsto be trending about the sameday to day now. A couple ofdays ago we had over 25 atboth the ER and the clinicwith flu-like symptoms.”Anyone with flu-like symp-

toms can easily spread the flu.Maldonado advises if you aresick, stay home to prevent itfrom spreading.“The most important thing

is to cover your mouth whenyou cough, when you sneeze,and always wash your hands,”Maldonado said. “If you go tothe movies, to the grocerystore, and you touch some-thing, it will stay there for 24hours. A doorknob, a chair, itdoesn’t matter, that is how theflu is spread.”

Theyopened the week tied for sec-ond, but had to face the teamthey were tied with and thenface the team in first place.First, they played Edna downto the wire and won it on aNathan Hammack last secondbasket. Then they clinched aplayoff spot when they went toColumbus and took down thefirst place Cardinals.The Cowboys opened a 24-

19 halftime lead but the Cobrascame back in the third and tooka 37-34 lead into the final quar-ter but the final quarter was anoffensive show as the teamscombined for 46 points in thefinal quarter. With only secondleft in the game, the Cowboystook a one point lead but a sec-ond free throw shot was errantwith only four seconds left.The Cobras rebounded andafter two quick passes, Ham-mack took the shot as thebuzzer sounded and the Cobraswere on their way to a firstplace tie.The Cowboys had a really

tough week. They fell to theCobras and then fell to Hal-lettsville on Friday. The twolosses dropped Edna from asecond place tie down to fourthplace. The good news for theCowboys is all they have to do

Bailey Kolb went 5 1/3 inning is his first college start for UHV.The Former Industrial Cobra gave up one run while striking outfour as he picked up his first college win.

Despite a few early nerves,Industrial graduate BaileyKolb turned in a strong per-formance in his first colle-giate outing to help theUniversity of Houston-Vic-toria Jaguars win their open-ing series against theSterling College Warriors.Kolb, a freshman and

Game 3 starter, limited theWarriors to just one run onfive hits and three walks,while striking out four over5.1 innings in a 4-1 victoryon Saturday.“I was a little nervous and

felt I could have done a littlebetter,” said Kolb followingthe game. “I got behind on afew hitters and was able tofind the pitches I needed andoverall I think things wentwell.”The only run Kolb allowed

came in the third inning on atwo-out run-scoring triple toright center. Kolb wouldleave in the sixth with oneout and runners at first and

third.Closer Austin Wailes came

on two strikeout the first twobatters he faced to get theJaguars out of the jam andpreserve the win for Kolb.Wailes would retire all threebatters in the seventh for hissecond save.Kolb was quick to praise

his teammates in helpingearn his first collegiate win.“I had great defense back-

ing me up the whole gameand the offense camethrough with some big hitsas well,” said Kolb. AndWailes closed it out for meand that was nice.”The Jaguars took two of

three from the Warriors andreturn to action Tuesday at5:30 p.m. when they host St.Mary’s University at River-side Stadium. The Jaguarswill also host Wayland Bap-tist University in a 3:30 p.m.doubleheader on Thursdayand a noon single game onFriday.

TRADITION?

TRUTH or TRADITION

Is the Old Testament of any value to the present-day Christian?

We left you last week with Paul explaining in 2 Timothy 3:16, that the scripture Paulrefers to must have been the Old Testament. Now, let's see what Jesus says. Jesus says in Matthew 5:16:

"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shallin no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."It's quite obvious that heaven and earth are still around. Then so is the Old Testament.Again Jesus says in John 5:39:

"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they arethey which testify of me."Jesus could only be referring to the Old Testament. Once again Jesus says in Luke24:44-45:

"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while Iwas yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law ofMoses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their un-derstanding, that they might understand the scriptures,"It is quite clear, that Jesus calls the Psalms, the law of Moses, and the prophets, scrip-ture.Paul tells us that all scripture is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruc-tion. He also says:

"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are ableto make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." (2 zTimothy3:15)The ordinances of "dead-letter" living, and the ceremonial laws of the Old Testamenthave surely been "nailed to His cross". But the truth, righteousness, holiness, and justiceof the Old Testament has and never will be done away with. "I am the Lord, I changenot..." (Malachi 3:6), and "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."(Hebrews 13:8). The Lord does not change, and neither does His truth.

Don't accept tradition, philosophies, or ideas to secure your salvation. Get the facts.Ask yourself, what does the Book say?
