Have You Ever Been Eclipsed?

By Penny Cooke | August 26, 2017

They say life is what happens when you’re making other plans. I’ve found that to be true, as I’m sure you have. It seems every time I plan to do or attend something, it gets eclipsed. I’ve been eclipsed a lot in the last few months by life events which blocked my plans and darkened…

Thank God it’s Good Friday

By Penny Cooke | April 14, 2017

There’s some dispute over who first coined the phrase that gave us the acronym TGIF (it wasn’t the restaurant chain, who only borrowed the phrase), but I find it interesting it stands for, “Thank God It’s Friday” in a world where anything about God is scorned. I guess they can skip right over the word…

By Penny Cooke | March 15, 2017

    Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV Do you eat to be healthy, or just full? Do…

America, We’ve Gut A Problem! – (But There is a Remedy) (Part 3 of 4)

By Penny Cooke | February 18, 2017

  “What are they doing to our foods?” my mother used to ask. She got it from her mother asking the same question, back when they first started bleaching flour. I heard it so many times growing up that when it came time to do a science project in the sixth grade, I titled it,…

Bless This Food to Our Body… (What’s on YOUR plate?) (Part 2 of 4)

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 John 2 ESV Do you know what’s on your plate? Just what is in the food we pray for God to bless?                                             I’ll never forget the vet telling…

Don’t Give Us THIS Daily Bread! (Why I’m Bootin’ the Gluten) (Part 1 of 4)

By Penny Cooke | January 21, 2017

  They say, “Be careful what you pray for.” That may be the case today when we pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.”  Did you know today’s daily bread is nothing like our ancestors ate? It’s made from wheat that is not what God originally created for our sustenance. Nor was our body…

Let Prayer Be Thy Medicine…

By Penny Cooke | January 7, 2017

It’s a new year, that time when everyone decides to get healthy, at least til their resolution fades into dissolution.   I wonder what your health goals are and what plans you have to accomplish them. Science has discovered a health plan which should precede all others, and we don’t even have to change our diet…

If Pilgims Could Talk to Us Today…

By Penny Cooke | November 19, 2016

If Pilgrims could talk to us today, what do you think they would say? With all the unrest in our nation, surely they would be deeply disheartened. They fled the very religious tyranny which threatens us again today in this country. They sacrificed all and risked their lives in order to gain civil and religious…

Let’s Pray for America – Part 4 of 4

By Penny Cooke | November 5, 2016

    It’s time to turn our clocks back again.  And it’s time to vote.  I can’t help wonder what our nation will do on Tuesday, November 8 – fall back or spring forward. Surely, God already knows. He may use this new leader to bless our nation or bring judgment, as He has done…

Let’s Pray for America (Part 3 of 4)

By Penny Cooke | October 29, 2016

Did you ever notice how every story has a hero? It seems in every conflict, someone swoops in and saves the day. Many of these stories are fictitious, but I believe they’re based on truth. How so?  Ecclesiastes 3:11 states eternity is written on our hearts. We can accept or reject it because we have…
