Words by the Wayside “...that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”

%

(Romans 3:19)

Reader, God did not give the Ten Commandments as a means of approach and acceptance with Him if you kept them, but to show you that you cannot keep them, because you are a sinner and separated by your sins from Him. You have a need of a Saviour, that your sins might be washed away. All have sinned, all need the Saviour which is Christ the Lord. He alone is the way, the truth and the life the only way back to God for you. Do you know the Lord Jesus as your Saviour?

Pastoral Le er & Church Meetings I am writing this letter mid packing to move from Aberlour Parish Church to Cults Parish Church in Aberdeen. So, I guess this will be my last pastoral letter for Spotlight. I have enjoyed being able to share some of my thoughts with you over the last few years.

During my last services at Aberlour and Craigellachie the Bible reading was John 1:35-51 – the story of Jesus and his first disciples as told by John. A phrase that appears a couple of times in the reading is ‘Come and see.’ I guess that that pretty much sums up Jesus’ ministry.

Wherever he goes he invites people to come and see. Come and see a new way of living, come and see what God can do in your life, come and see what you can do for God, come and see…

This, I think, is the invitation the

church should use to those in its community. Come and see who we are; come and see what we do; come and see who it is we worship; come and see what Jesus may have to offer you; come and see. Jesus makes that invitation throughout his ministry.

And the invitation is made quite indiscriminately. He excludes no one from the invitation to come and see. And that is what the church should be doing.

But the task is there for the individual too. As we are the ones who can issue the invitation. Not just inviting people along to church or to church events. But also by being inviting in the way we live our lives. If we say that knowing and loving Jesus Christ makes a difference in our lives, then we should show this. Our words, our actions or in converse our lack of words and lack of actions can and do say so

much about who we are. There is no worse turn off than a hypocrite. Saying one thing and doing another is not the way to be inviting.

As I head off to begin a new ministry, I hope that, apart from the obvious badge of office that is my clerical collar, that my life, my words, my actions have been and will continue to honour Jesus and that I will continue to invite people to come and see.

How about we all try to do the same?

Parliament Blog & Tide Times As the days start to get a bit longer, spring is hopefully just around the corner and we all feel a sense of optimism and the hope of better weather ahead. For farmers, the approach of a new season brings with it an extra workload as they are extremely busy with livestock, preparing for lambing and calving and getting the fields ready.

As someone from a farming background, I know all too well how important the change of seasons is to the industry and I will continue to support farmers and campaign for a good deal post Brexit. Politicians of all parties have had constructive meetings with the industry and it’s important that this dialogue continues as we move forward.

The winter months can be some of the longest and most difficult for farmers and their livestock, but the joy of seeing them turn-out in the spring makes up for that. When I worked on local dairy farms, even in February I was yearning for the day that the gates were opened and the cattle could get out of the sheds and start skipping through the grass. Not too much longer to wait!

Douglas Ross MP

Fuels 4 Stoves Oct 17.pdf

The modern world’s reliance on the internet has become so important that a fast broadband connection is now regarded as the fourth utility along with water, gas and electricity.

All politicians will be judged on this issue and even more so now that the UK Government will ensure that homes and businesses have a legal right to highspeed broadband by 2020.

That strengthens consumer rights and that is a step in the right direction.

The Scottish Government have committed £600 million towards ensuring every home and business has secured superfast broadband by 2021. A bold ambition and one that I welcome. However, only time will tell if £600m is enough. By 2021 there will be no excuses and the Scottish Government must deliver.

Thanks to online shopping we are all increasingly aware of the benefits of shopping around when it comes to purchasing new household items, getting deals on broadband services and booking holidays. However people still remain reluctant to shop around to get better deals when it comes to their home energy.

Whilst this is the case across the country, new figures published

by Energy UK, show that consumers here in the Highlands are some of the least likely to switch providers.

From my ongoing campaign to encourage people to take charge of spiralling energy costs, I have heard some fantastic first hand examples of just how much can be saved.

One constituent told me she made a saving of £1,117 per year, whilst another saved £813.

This shows just how worthwhile it can be to switch and I would encourage all Spotlight readers to look to see how much they can save.

UK FRANCHISE OF THE YEAR RUNNER UP

2013

Complete Lawn Renovation – a project this year ?

Many of you will, in your darkest moments, consider giving up on your lawn… too far gone ….. wouldn’t know where to start ….. best to get it dug up and put down a new lawn !

Replacing a lawn can be very expensive, however, whether you plan to replace it with a new lawn or even slabs or gravel.

Consider this, a worn-out lawn can actually be renovated in situ at a fraction of the cost of removing and replacing the whole thing. I have included here a Before and After picture taken just a few weeks apart. I suggest there are 4 stages in the process, and you could either try this yourself, probably with some hired machines, or get some help (probably best as you have to live with the results for years to come).

1.

Hollow tine Aeration removes thousands of cores, reducing compaction and allowing air to move in the root zone, encouraging microbial activity and root development.

2. Severe Scarification removes as much thatch as possible, allowing the seed to find the soil surface which always aids germination. Once the thatch has been removed it has to be cleaned off the surface by either raking or sweeping, using a leaf sweeper.

BEFORE

3.

Seeding should be applied at a rate of 20-25gms per m².

The seed, being on the soil surface, puts it in direct contact with the material that will help it germinate; it is, however, open to the elements and can be disrupted by heavy winds and birds’ feasting.

4.

Top Dressing covers the seed. Many think top dressing should be a sandy soil mix. We actually use a lawn compost, manufactured from recycled green waste and, therefore, environmentally friendly. It contains nutrient to assist existing grass and promote good germination from the seed and aids good microbial activity. This is applied at 2kg per m².

All that’s required now is regular watering until the seed germinates (regular rainfall isn’t usually a problem in these parts). The best time to tackle this is June-Sept in Scotland, and that means starting planning now for your new lawn this summer. At around £2 per m2 to renovate, compared with around £12 per m2 to replace, it really is worth considering.

THE MOUNTAIN GARDENER, HAVING PREVIOUSLY RUN HIS OWN COMMERCIAL GARDENING BUSINESS FOR TWELVE YEARS.

TOM ALSO BLOGS AS THE MOUNTAIN GARDENER. February can feel like the harshest of winter months, and we have certainly already received enough cold weather in January, but spring is around the corner now and there are a number of jobs that can be done now to help keep on top of the garden before the spring growth commences.

One of the trickier jobs that can be managed now is pruning Wisteria, but you needn’t be too scared of this.

Pruning involves cutting back summer side-shoots to 2 or 3 buds. I’m going to elaborate on this in my blog, where I will give some more detailed instructions for this.

Here are some other tasks that could or should be done in the garden in February:

DO prune summer-flowering Clematis before they start growing actively.

DO renovate Beech hedges that need more robust pruning.

DO plant bare root shrubs and trees.

DO prune Winter Jasmine after it has flowered.

DO take down any tired looking dead seed-heads that you have left over the winter.

DO cut back deciduous grasses before fresh growth begins.

DO prune/trim winter-flowering shrubs such as Mahonia japonica and Viburnum tinus after they have flowered.

DO dead-head winter bedding as it can encourage some species to flower again.

DO prune apple and pear trees.

20

DON’T forget to make sure all your machines are all serviced ahead of the spring.

DON’T work heavy soils that are wet, wait till they have dried out.

DON’T be tempted to start sowing lots of seeds in the greenhouse, they may well just become weak and spindly due to lack of light.

DON’T forget to keep putting bird food out, and if possible keeping some water available for birds to drink from and bathe in.

DON’T forget to use any slightly warmer days to start tackling moss build-up on hard surfaces.

March is a busy month in the garden, with fair amounts of pruning to do, so get all and any tidying done that you can in February. I’ll be back next month, and in the meantime I’ll be getting on with all these jobs in my own garden!

(Psalm 86:5)

Reader, it is those who willingly choose the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour through repentance of their sins and faith in His atoning death, that He willingly bestows salvation upon. In God’s Family there are no conscripts; all have called upon God for salvation through Jesus Christ His Son. You must receive Him for yourself. Genuine repentance and salvation will always have a turning away from sin. All who call upon the name of The Lord shall be saved. Are you saved?
