Just ever so occasionally we see heartwarming examples of unity. I’m a bit of a rugby fan and by the time you read this the British and Irish Lions will have departed these shores for a 10 match tour of New Zealand. The squad draws from Scotland, Ireland (both Eire and Northern Ireland), Wales and England. The players need to bond together, respecting different nationalities but working together to achieve a common goal. New Zealand are currently ranked the number one team in the World by some distance and only by working together might they be overcome. Good luck The Lions!!

How amazing is Grace? I am sure, even if you’ve not spent much time around church, that you’ll be familiar with the hymn, Amazing Grace, so much so that you’ll know the words, even if it’s the only hymn you know. ‘Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me’. I wonder do you know anything of the author and that it is in many ways his autobiography? It may not sound like an autobiography when you know that he was a vicar and worked to end the slave trade in his latter years. However Newton’s early life was a long way from where it ended, he was the son of a successful and well connected ship’s captain. His mother, a godly woman, gave Newton a good education but died when he was 7 years old. He rebelled against this teaching from his pious mother, his well connected father got Newton a job as a midship-man, a junior officer with the promise of promotion. However Newton who had disregarded the education his mother had given him, also disregarded this opportunity. He was disrespectful and up to no good from the beginning. His behaviour was so bad that he found himself demoted before leaving the ship altogether. Nonetheless opportunities kept coming his way but Newton wasn’t able to learn from them. His behaviour and poor choices got the middle class officer’s son into a lot of scrapes, at one point he was almost a slave in North Africa, mistreated and poorly fed; he was stealing raw vegetables at night to

keep himself alive. At times he modified his behaviour becoming outwardly religious, but he soon went back to his cursing, blaspheming and general bad behaviour. Each time the downward spiral after made him worse than he was before. His language was so bad that he often made other roguish sailors blush. Newton at this time would be the last person you would think of as someone who would be a Christian minister; he was a vile excuse for a human being. He recognised this in himself as did others. He truly was a wretch and he knew it. However on one trip, where Newton had already diced with death following a drinking game out at sea, where he had to be pulled by the legs as he went overboard, it was dark, he was drunk and he couldn’t swim. Newton was given an amazing opportunity; you see the ship was battered in a storm, so much so that it was sinking. For several days he and the sailors tried to rescue it by bailing out water but it was taking on more and more water, the situation seemed hopeless, the holes were filled with their clothing and the food had almost all been washed away. Everyone on board was convinced that they were only putting off the inevitable, mere days away from death. It was at this point Newton the wretch cried out to God for mercy. He said that he was not sure that someone like him would have any hope of finding mercy with God. Yet Newton did find mercy, he no longer had to try to

reform his life and fail as he had done numerous times before, now the work of God had begun in his life, Newton was transformed. Like Newton, Saul of Tarsus wasn’t thinking of finding grace on the road to Damascus, as he headed over to Syria the last thing on his mind was becoming a follower of Jesus. In fact he was heading there with the same sort of ambitions that young Jihadists head to Syria today, he wanted to kill for his God. He was set on wiping out the church, on that road you’ll know he was confronted by the risen Jesus, instead of the judgement that he now knew he deserved he was called to be Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, to reach out and share with them the Good news of Jesus, Newton and Paul were both trophies of Grace. Paul said of himself that he was the chief of sinners, yet God saved him. God used the conversion of Saul the persecutor of the church to glorify Himself. You might be one of those people who have said, ‘I am beyond saving’, yet God could take Newton, who truly was a wretch, and Saul who wanted to wipe out the church and bring them to Him. You see grace means undeserved kindness, the grace of this God is not only amazing, it is glorious.

INNES HOUSE

Weddings and Corporate Entertainment A Unique place for any Occasion It is difficult to imagine a more romantic setting for your wedding than a 17th century house set in a sheltered walled garden. However, Innes is not just a stunning venue which you and your guests will never forget, but also offers a wholly flexible programme to enable you to plan your day exactly as you would like. Every wedding is unique and tailor-made for each couple. You may hold the ceremony here in the garden or in one of the two beautiful reception rooms. After the service your guests can wander around the gardens whilst you have your photographs taken in these tranquil, romantic surroundings. The reception and dinner may be held in the East Dining Room or larger parties can be held in our marquee extension which covers a walled garden complete with a summer house for the bar and a fountain around which the tables are set. After dinner you may enjoy dancing or other entertainment and then drive away down the tree lined avenue and look back on a magnificent floodlit house. Alternatively, you and some of your guests may stay the night in one of our splendidly appointed bedrooms and leave after a leisurely breakfast the next morning.

Offer extended! Any couple booking their wedding within six months of their wedding date, will be offered a complimentary wedding night accommodation along with a 'Champagne Toast' upgrade of their chosen drinks package

Words by the Wayside "Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you...to bring you near to Himself." (Numbers 16:9)

Christian, the Lord wants to take everything away from you that is displeasing to Himself and is no good for you; you must be willing to give them up. Christians are people called out from the world and called into fellowship with their Lord. Entire separation to God is the divine standard. Don't be half hearted or double minded, walk worthy of your Lord and according to His mind alone. www.wordsbythewayside.co.uk Registered Scottish charity SC041290

Business Profile

Moray is home to Scotland’s first specialist shade and home automation company which offers state of the art blinds and smart home products that can be remotely controlled via your phone. Cascade Blinds, based in Elgin’s Chanonry Road South, is also the north’s first Somfy Tahoma dealer, offering a wide selection of products that can be operated via any flash enabled smart phone, tablet or smartwatch using an intuitive app. The independent company was established in Inverness in 1987. It was bought over by the McCrea family four years ago, and run alongside their Inverness window blind superstore, World of Blinds. Owner, David McCrea said: “We’re keen to do something special with Cascade and with the growing demand for automated and motorised window coverings, and on it’s 30th anniversary, our direction became clear; we have launched the business from our new Moray office. We have now secured the desirable Luxaflex dealership, offering exclusive products and systems, and an awnings and canopies range. Motorisation means you can schedule the opening and closing of your blinds, curtains, awnings, garage doors, gates, velux products and security systems from one easy to use app.” The app means that you can create a cosy home environment before you even get there, as well as boost your home security: “Using a timer means you can give the impression that your home is occupied even if you have been delayed at work or are on holiday. It is without a doubt the way forward,” David continued. Cascade Blinds also offers bolt-on products including smart switches, smoke detectors, light sensors and security devices such as cameras and motion sensors. The Moray showroom offers free advice and consultation to ensure you can choose the best soft furnishing and window styling for your home. “The first consideration is deciding what your room requires. For example, does the light need softening, filtering, or blocked out completely. We offer a huge range of benefits, including exclusive patterns and designs that can create a warm, comfortable and striking environment – and they’re combined with world leading technology. A major benefit for this next generation of shade systems is that the looped cords and chains have been eliminated which removes risk for young children and vulnerable people. “We have been involved in the window styling industry for many years, and with the latest trends moving rapidly towards automation, we find this an interesting challenge from a manufacturing perspective, and also a very exciting time in the history of window coverings,” David concluded.

Cascade Blinds is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 11am to 5pm, Wednesday 10am to 2pm, and Saturday 10am to 3pm. Contact:Cascade Blinds, 9 Chanonry Road South, Elgin, IV30 6NG- T: 01343 552 222 www.cascadeblinds.co.uk

Reader, you are a sinner by nature, you were born that way because Adam sinned against God. You are a sinner by practise because you live your life in a determined, independent and deliberate manner, having no time for God or His Son Jesus the Saviour. You are your own God, setting your own standards and consistently doing that which is right in your own eyes; you condemn yourself. I say therefore unto you, you shall die in your sins, unless you repent and receive Jesus Christ Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Son as your Saviour.

Before cooling, pour in your fragrance into the wax using manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guide or 2 tablespoons, BEWARE: avoid over-stirring your wax when you add the fragrance, Lightly stir 10 times in one direction and 10 times in the other, over-stirring can cause cracks in the wax once it sets!

3. Wooden Utensils

UK FRANCHISE OF THE YEAR RUNNER UP

2013

Red Thread (Yellow Be Aware Warning) ! We often have an outbreak of Red Thread fungal disease in this area now. It’s pretty widespread in this part of the world from June onwards, and especially if it is mild and wet. It’s a fungus, like moulds or mildews, and in the right conditions can attack grass leaves causing blotchy brown patches that leaves the lawn looking like it is drought stressed. Clearly if it’s been wet, that’s not the case. The picture below was taken previously on my lawn in late June.

If it’s a persistent outbreak, you can often see the grass producing a pinkish mould growth. That’s the mycelium or fungal bloom from the Red Thread spores. It doesn’t usually kill the grass, but it damages and disfigures the leaf causing a rather unsightly blotchy browning-off effect. Once established, the infection will usually persist through the season until the first frosts in October, when the frost kills it off for the year.

I mention it now as it CAN be successfully treated with a fungicide, and when we apply a fungicide spray to affected lawns, it usually clears it in a week or so. Occasionally a repeat application is required. Once control is established however, it usually keeps the grass free of the infection for the rest of the season. You can get more information and pics at www.greenthumb.co.uk, or at www.rhs.org.uk (Royal Horticultural Society)..

For more information about our annual lawncare plans from just £11.25 per mth, plus useful downloads and photos, go to www.greenthumb.co.uk. Although GreenThumb is a multi-award winning national franchise, and is the runaway leader in the sector with half a million customers, we are the family-run local franchise covering the wider Moray Firth area.
