A visit to China Garden may take a while

The only difficult thing about visiting the popular China Garden, located in Beaumont’s Gateway Plaza, is choosing what you will eat first and how long you will stay. More than 200 items await you on the largest buffet in the area, beginning with a healthy salad area, a new hibachi grill where you see your food choices cooked, all of the Texas Gulf Coast seafood you can imagine, vegetables, specialty dishes, and tantalizing desserts. There’s also plenty of sushi featuring salmon, tuna, eel and all types of rolls.

God’s grace: Right on time, every time

Today’s column is lovingly and prayerfully dedicated to a fine young Christian woman in our community, Valerie Clara Sallee, daughter of Pastor Richard Sallee of First Baptist Church of High Island. I am impressed with Valerie as a person, as a church leader, as a daughter, and most of all, as a Christian who wants to serve God and her fellow man. She reminds me a bit of Corrie ten Boom, whom I have long admired.

Ready for a big night on the town

a few hours into the popular Moulin Rouge, patterned after the 2001 jukebox musical film directed, produced and co-written by Baz Luhrmann. This one-of-a-kind gala, black-tie event benefits the Baptist Cancer Center of Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas. The La Soiree committee is busy putting all of the finishing touches on the event planned for Jan. 28, and it’s sure to be a fashionable and fun happening.
