My Story

This is my story and my journey. Look for the signposts that might just help you on yours.
Stories I tell

I no longer preach. I just tell stories and paint pictures with words.
People I see

I am a people-watcher and now a nature-watcher
This is me…
Paul Cook, aka Cookie, Papa and now Grandpa. No labels – I hate them – but a Friend of Divine Love. It doesn’t get better than that. Divine Love’s Little Boy – The Pinnacle.
Who, why and what?
It is February 2024. I decided on a revamp of this blog-site, only to discover that it isn’t quite as intuitive as I thought. Watch this space.
At the time of writing I am sixty-six years old, enjoying my state pension and being a School Patrol Officer at a local school. Staff, parents and children, along with the people I pass every day have become “My People.”
In the past, I would have accepted many labels of church culture – an evangelical, a charismatic, even a fundamentalist. No more. That is not to say that I have abandoned ship, but my journey has taken me across many mountains and oceans. I have discovered that the faith I had was far too impoverished. I have also discovered that I am not alone. There are far too many who have been hurt by church to the point of disappointment and disillusionment. I am one of those.
After countless conversations and observations I decided to write down my own story and share my journey with those who walk with me even just a few steps. People I trust have observed that I am “a serious writer,” and “you paint wonderful pictures with your words. So, here goes.
