Younglife of Brazoria County is an non-profit outreach ministry that disciples kids in grades 6th-12th. They are hosting their 7th Annual Crawfish Boil. The boil is an exciting family fun day at Billy's Hall and it will be catered by Floyd's Cajun Seafood on April 7th from 1-4pm. This event gives kids a chance to earn money towards their Christian youth camp this summer.    Younglife has  set a goal to get 26 $200 sponsors to help subsidize the expenses of putting on the crawfish boil. This is not a fundraiser for the organization, it is strictly for the kids. They need help funding the event so the students can sell tickets and keep most of the proceeds in their own camp accounts. Camp is often noted as "The best week of my life" by the kids that attend. What you will receive in return...

  The decision to purchase a home is exciting and a major investment for your future.  Because there is only so much of it to go around, real estate is the top choice for many investors and the desire for most families.    Tired of The Rental Game One of the most profitable markets in real estate is rentals, which means that many families are paying to live in a home that isn't their own.  In some cases, renting a home is necessary.  For all others, the money that would be spent on rent could instead be used to pay a mortgage.  In fact, monthly rent payments often exceed that of a typical mortgage payment.  One of the greatest benefits of home ownership is putting money into something that you can call your own and knowing that the monthly payments are going toward your home's equity.  ...

  Buying a home can be both exciting and stressful but, for those with past credit problems, the process may also seem intimidating.  The good news is that many lenders have adapted to the idea that many hopeful homeowners simply need a second chance, which means that past credit problems no longer have to define your future.   Credit Blemishes   When life unexpectedly takes a turn for the worst, it's not always possible to come out without a few bumps and bruises.  Every day, people are faced with late or missed credit card payments, mortgage foreclosures, bankruptcy proceedings, auto repossessions and even civil judgments that will affect their credit reports for years to come. Whether it's from a job loss, injury or just a simple case of temporary hardship, credit blemishes are often...
