#NoFear: A 7-day Devloption to overcome fear and anxiety by Carla Sallee Alvarez
{

Just like the Israelites, we will encounter some giants. Circumstances that seem to make God a liar. The corruption will seem too great, the addiction too strong, or the diagnosis too dire. When the giant you are facing seems too big for God to handle, remember this . . . Jesus was dead. He had been in the grave for three days. When it seemed like it was all over, God proved His power and won the ultimate victory.

Everything's Bigger in Texas

Texas spent $35 billion on pens

$35 Billion in Pens!

The purpose of this site is to share good thoughts about good words; however, there are certain individuals that don’t think that the words I say should be distributed or that I should be allowed to say any words at all. Since the beginning of 2023, I have been the target of relentless attacks to every account and initiative that I am a part of. I believe that this attack is multi-faceted because, of course, evil is also about its own self-interest.”

However, based on the posts that have been particularly targeted, I believe I and all my platforms are being targeted and sabotaged because I have spoken out against Senator Ted Cruz.

This is a violation of my First Amendment right as a U.S. citizen. All of my platforms are being suppressed. I appreciate any support and suggestion you have to offer.

Just Be Yourself

People are always looking to others for what they should do. You will never discover who you really are until you are willing to just be yourself.
