Eating My Way Away From God
March 20, 2013 By Jaymes Downer
I read an interesting post on Facebook today by Don Miller. He was talking about the 3 sins that tempt him most. I admire his vulnerability to open up like that to Facebook, but more so to open up like that to himself. It was a short simple post, but it really got me thinking. I need to give you a … [Read More...]
Is God Always the Same?
March 18, 2013 By Jaymes Downer
Has your view of God ever changed? Do you see him the same way you have always seen him? 'God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.' You've heard that right?

Speak Life not Death
August 4, 2012 By Jaymes Downer
'Let there be light.' God spoke something into existence with that statement. Why didn't He say 'Let there be no more darkness'? Instead of addressing the thing that was already there, He spoke to the thing He wanted to have life. I feel like we often focus on the thing … [Read More...]
Just Move
August 6, 2012 By Jaymes Downer
So over the last year or so God has been speaking to me about the things I am doing with my time. I have changed jobs a couple times, started school, and invested time in a few business ideas. Just when I thought I was set on the 'right track', God told me to do something … [Read More...]

Family
August 7, 2012 By Jaymes Downer
