As I write this, my mind is contemplating the natural order of things. There appears to me to be a real beauty in the change of seasons especially as we move from Winter to Spring.

The newness of life that Spring brings is a wonder to behold and motivates me to consider who is behind it all. We may all have differing views as to the answer to that but one thing for certain is that it is indeed marvellous!

PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS Remembering is something we do without thinking about it. We can see a sight and it reminds us of…. We can hear music and it reminds us of… . We can smell an aroma and it reminds us of….

Some of the things we remember will be good and some will be bad, and all the others will fit somewhere in between.

We are between Easter and Pentecost. We have the dates in our diary so that we will remember… what? What are we remembering?

What do we remember at Easter?

What do we remember at Pentecost?

As he was eating for the last time with his disciples, Jesus chose to change their memories of the meal. It was Passover; the time when the Jews remember the Exodus from Egypt.

This was their defining moment as a nation. This was when they became a nation and were made into the people of God. They were told every year to remember that their ancestors

had been slaves in Egypt for 400 years. And so the sights, sounds and smells of the meal would remind them of… Well, they weren’t actually there, but they were living with the benefits of that event, celebrated and remembered in that meal.

Jesus changed it all. He told his disciples to carry on with the meal, but from now on to do it to remember him. Only God would say a thing like that. If Jesus was only a man, only a teacher, then this was a complete break with reality to tell them to forget their great past and remember him instead.

But if he really was, and is, God, then that’s a different matter. He is God and he was doing something new.

He was establishing his people – the Church – and he told us to eat together to remember him (Luke 22:19).

We weren’t there, but if you have been justified by Jesus through repentance and faith then you are

living with the benefits of the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus. That is worth celebrating!

And then there is Pentecost. We are never told to remember Pentecost.

But that’s the thing with the Spirit of God. If you are a Christian you have the Spirit within you (Romans 8:14) and so you don’t need to remember.

It is a living reality. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t celebrate Pentecost; it means we should be living every day in the power of the Spirit of God (Romans 15:19) Easter eggs and Bank Holidays are OK, but why settle for an occasional treat when the whole of your life can be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19).

Remember that what Jesus did he did for everyone, so as you celebrate Easter remember.

Remember Jesus (2 Timothy 2:8).

PARLIAMENT BLOG & TIDE TIMES It will not come as a surprise to many people that, in my role as Cabinet Secretary covering food and drink issues, the horsemeat scandal has kept me very busy in recent weeks.

While I usually try to keep this column lighter, this is an issue that has, understandably, caused great consternation for people. We have the right to expect that what we are eating is what is stated on the label. The issue here has not been about whether or not the food is safe to eat, and provided it is stored and prepared properly that shouldn’t be an issue, it is, rather, about people getting what they expect on their plates.

The criminal activity of people who have introduced horsemeat in Europe’s supply chain has huge ramifications for consumer confidence. However, it has also focused people’s minds on where produce comes from and that, in itself, is not a bad thing. We have, here in Moray, fantastic high street butchers with top notch traceability of their meat and people in Moray can buy that meat with confidence that it is quality assured and fully traceable.

I will continue to back our Scottish producers and work with everyone involved to ensure that illegal activity in the European supply chain for other products is stamped out.

Parliament Blog

There has been further coverage in the news recently of MoD plans for the future use of Lossiemouth and of wider defence basing issues. The one aspect that has been constant, however, has been the regular arrival of new personnel to our Moray bases.

Military personnel posted into Moray regularly talk about how they are made to feel so welcome in our communities and, equally, they also get involved in a wide range of local activities and supporting community groups and organisations.

The welcome given from folk in Moray makes me very proud to be associated with this part of the world and in the coming months there will be further changes to our population as military changes occur and I look forward to being part of that welcome for many more people.

recipe

Chef’s Confidential Shortbread Handmade shortbread makes a lovely gift as well as being a nice treat to eat at home. The recipe below is based on a recipe by Scottish cookery writer, Sue Lawrence, and is the one we use at The Steading. It gives you a plain butter shortbread, but you can also add a handful of plain chocolate chips, chopped stem ginger or lemon zest if you want to try different flavours.

Ingredients 225g/8ozs good quality butter (softened, but not melted) 110g/4ozs golden caster sugar – ordinary caster sugar will do 225g/8oz good quality plain flour (sifted) – we use Dove’s organic plain flour as it has a lovely texture 150g/5oz cornflour (sifted) Caster sugar for dredging over top Method Place butter and sugar in mixer and cream until pale.

Add flour and cornflour and blend until thoroughly combined, but no more – don’t overwork the mixture at this stage.

Tip into a buttered 23 x 33cm (9 x 13in) non-stick swiss roll tin and press down until level and evenly spread around the tin. You can line the base of your tin with baking parchment if you prefer. See below for alternative method of baking shortbread shapes.

Prick all over with a fork then bake at 150ºC for 40-50 minutes (depends on the oven) until a uniform pale golden colour all over.

Remove from oven, dredge with caster sugar and cut into squares or fingers while the shortbread is in the tin.

Leave for 5 min before carefully removing to a cooling rack.

Cool completely before storing in an airtight container or bag it in food grade cellophane tied with a ribbon for a nice gift.

Alternatively, you can just roll the mixture into a 23 x 33cm block and cut out squares or rounds with a cutter and put these on a baking tray to cook – remember to prick them with a fork before putting them in the oven.

Dreaming of... ...Madeira Enjoying an excellent year round climate, stunning scenery and superb quality hotels Madeira holidays are perfect for those wanting to escape the stresses of everyday life. The people are friendly and there are few places where you would enjoy better or more courteous service.

The Island of Eternal Springtime, Lovers’ Isle, Pearl of the Atlantic & Floating Garden of the Atlantic are just a few of the epithets awarded to Madeira, the largest of the islands in the Madeiran Archipelago which also includes the sand and sea worshippers’ island of Porto Santo. Located 400 miles west of Morocco and 600 miles from mainland Europe, the islands are located on similar latitudes to Bermuda and Los Angeles, allowing holidays to Madeira to be enjoyed in summer and winter months.

Approximately half the island’s population lives in Funchal and the centre of town is especially busy where the 16th century streets attempt to cope with 21st century traffic! Most of the hotels are located west of the city centre at Funchal Lido – an important tourist area with shops, restaurants and cafes. The style is changing, however, with colonial mansions being converted into luxurious hotels although many enclaves and the port still retain an old fashioned feel mixed with the commercial buzz of its working environment and the port area provides a fabulous vantage point to gaze at the rich (and sometimes famous) as cruise ships moor up for their overnight stops.

5* Quinta das Vistas Palace Gardens is magnificently situated on the brow of a hill and surrounded by mature gardens, and you will never be short of space to completely unwind and relax even though you are only a short drive from Funchal centre. Well-appointed guest rooms and suites are elegantly furnished and the restaurant provides a wonderful colonial atmosphere and benefits from a veranda and terrace for al fresco dining. With an unusual swim-through indoor-outdoor pool and a host of spa facilities Quinta das Vistas offers something for everyone.

WORDS BY THE WAYSIDE “Thou shalt not covet” One of the many effects of covetousness is that it can drive us heavily into debt.

Many of us enter into binding financial arrangements for loans, hire-purchase and mortgages, to cover the cost of things we have set our hearts on, but which we cannot afford. These things may be a bigger house, a better car, luxury holidays or some other possession which carries with it a status symbol.

In this way, we find ourselves on a treadmill of our own making, with a crushing burden of debt, from which we cannot escape, because of our lifestyle.

We will get no help from God to maintain a standard of living which we may yearn after, but which we cannot afford. “Let your behaviour be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have” (Hebrews 13:5).

Another evil effect of covetousness is the bad example it sets to others. We all have our own own sphere of influence either for good or evil and this is particularly true of overseers and deacons-hence the reason that such men in the church must not be covetous (1 Timothy 3:3-8). If we are marked by covetousness then our example will have a leavening effect upon others: encouraging them to a similar lifestyle. Yet we Christians are still not content with such as we have. Self denial and godliness with contentment are out of fashion.

heart, our soul, our strength, our mind, and it has become an idol to us, worthy of all veneration.

Those who are determined to have the things of this world will find themselves ensnared. They will discover that covetousness is addictive because each fresh acquisition only whets the appetite for more and more.

If covetousness marks us as a Christian it is evident that we are finding our pleasure in earthly things and that we are depending on something other than God for satisfaction.

God made us for Himself and our heart should find no rest until it rests in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. It must grieve the Lord, who has redeemed us for Himself, to see us striving after the things of this life – clothes, food, job or profession, car, garden, fortune, pleasures, etc. to the exclusion of the higher spiritual interests of our own soul. It must also follow that if God is displeased with us then we cannot enjoy communion with Him until our life-style is adjusted in line with His will. We cannot expect to grow in divine things if our heart is occupied with material things.

Covetousness not only includes the active pursuit of material things and earthly benefits which lie in our grasp, but also includes the passive smouldering desire to obtain that which our neighbour has but is impossible for us to achieve, and this awakens the spirit of envy and jealousy.

Therefore let us set our affections on things above and beware of covetousness for the Lord Jesus Christ “died for all, that they which live Covetousness is also idolatry. If we are covetous should not henceforth live unto themselves, we spare ourselves no pains to achieve our but unto Him which died for them, and rose desired object. We love that object with all our again” (2 Corinthians 5:15)

Let Let your your behaviour behaviour be be without covetousness; covetousness; and be be content content with such things as ye ye have have

Benefits of Solar PV Panels

You've probably seen calculators with solar cells - devices that never need batteries and in some cases, don't even have an off button. As long as there's enough light, they seem to work forever.

You may also have seen larger solar panels, perhaps on emergency road signs, call boxes, buoys and even in parking lots, to power the lights.

Although these larger panels aren't as common as solar-powered calculators, they're out there and not that hard to spot if you know where to look. In fact, photovoltaics - which were once used almost exclusively in space, powering satellites' electrical systems as far back as 1958 -
