In the original series of “Mission Impossible”Jim, the head of a daring team of secretagents, receives tape-recorded instructionsalong with photographs, usually inenvelopes hidden in isolated phone booths,and is told that, if he accepts theassignment, he’s on his own. In any case,the message always ends, “This tape willself-destruct in ten seconds!” - and it alwaysdid, as it was the same piece of film thatwas used each week!

The saint after whom the old parish churchof Keith is named - our St. Rufus - was thehead of a daring small team of monks whoset sail in a coracle - only slightly largerthan a phone box - and made for the shoresof Scotland where their arrival would bespied on by the Pictish warriors of the time.

St. Rufus (known in Gaelic as StMaelrubha) and his monks set foot onScottish soil knowing they faced onemission impossible after another but notgiving up because, unlike Jim, they werenot alone - God was with them! And so themission of St. Rufus and his monks atApplecross was very successful, for Godequips his people for the work to which hecalls them.

God equipped Solomon with wisdom. Newsof Solomon’s great wisdom spread toforeign lands. “When the queen of Shebaheard of the fame of Solomon concerningthe name of the Lord, she came to test himwith hard questions.” (I Kings 10:1) Indeed, she listened as a case was brought

before him. Two women entered his court,dragging between them a young man. Thefirst woman addressed Solomon saying,"This young man agreed to marry MYdaughter." The second womanremonstrated, “No! He agreed to marry MYdaughter." And so they argued beforeSolomon, until he ordered, "Bring me mybiggest sword and I shall cut the youngman in half. Each of you shall receive a halfof him." The first woman responded,"Sounds good to me!” But the secondwoman pleaded, "Oh your Majesty, do notspill innocent blood. Allow her daughter tomarry him." Solomon proclaimed, "Thisyoung man must marry the first lady'sdaughter." The Queen of Sheba gasped,“But the first woman is willing to cut him intwo!" "Correct," agreed King Solomon."That shows she is the TRUE mother-in-law!"

The Queen of Sheba was a woman ofsubstance with her own mission in mind,probably a political alliance. But her missionwas impossible for she recognized that thereports about Solomon were indeed true,namely, that his wisdom was no naturalendowment; it was a very special gift ofGod. The Queen of Sheba recogized,“Because the Lord loves Israel for ever, hehas made you their king to maintain lawand justice.” (v.9)

The maintenance of law and justice throughGod’s wisdom came to the West ofScotland with the arrival of St. Rufus andhis monks. As Abbot of the monastery at

Applecross for fifty years, St. Rufus was thereligious “king” of the area who, in distillingwisdom to the local people and far beyond,maintained God’s law and justice.

What our churches and governments needin today’s world are leaders gifted withwisdom and integrity, for sadly there are toomany in both spheres who are not properlyequipped for their jobs, not because Godhas withheld His gifts from them, butbecause they misuse their gifts for self-glory, thereby cheating their people. Theymisuse their time failing to do their work.They waste money on short term savingsrather than looking at the long term future.Let us pray that our modern day leaders inall spheres will “wise up” and bring glory toGod through truly helping His sufferingpeople by leading lives of integrity in orderto establish the justice and righteousnessof the Kingdom of God.

I recently cameacross a young man whoprofessed to have the answer tolife. Listen to nobody, ask fornobody’s help and rely entirelyupon oneself. Good advice for arecluse maybe but I think thatwe were designed to interactwith each other and when thatgoes well there can be nogreater joy. All it takes is for usto think more of our neighboursthan ourselves!

POLICE MATTERSThere was no police present tonight. JM gavean update that she received from SergeantMulloy.There have been 38 recorded crimessince the last meeting including road trafficoffences and a break in at Moray Councilgarage in Balloch Road..The offences of thestolen Christmas trees were investigated butno offender identified. On 1st April GrampianPolice will cease to exist and will be replacedby Police Service for Scotland. A new nonemergency number was launched overScotland which is 101. Examples to call thisnumber on are for car theft, damage toproperty, Minor traffic collision, suspected druguse or dealing and information about crime inyour area .Calls are 15 pence per minute andwill connect you to a local police servicecentre. You should still continue to dial 999 inan emergency.Donna Jamieson the community wardenspoke about the on-going dog mess there is inKeith. She had to call out council staff to cleanup 66 messes on Balloch Road. Plain clothedpatrols have been considered to try to combatthe problem. Fixed penalties will be issued ifanyone caught not cleaning up after their dog.Green Dog Walkers have been encouraged tosign up to a scheme where they would wear agreen band and could be approached for bagsif a dog owner doesn’t have one with them orthey can offer an owner a bag. Email"mailto:[email protected]"[email protected] if you wouldlike more information.Donna is hoping to set up the Junior Wardensthis summer for local school kids. She ishoping to secure funding for this.

Matters ArisingDuncan Falconer dealt with the matter of ratsin the Den. Police have been dealing with thecars that have been going to Keith Grammarcar park. The gates have to be closed by theprimary school. Fiona Grant (groundsmaintenance) will be contacted by a councillor.JM and GC attended the meeting about thelack of proper signs pointing to Mid Street. And

the amount of unnessessary signs there are.There are new signs showing the way to theKeith shops - One sign is to be made to showBEAR, Transport Scotland and Moray Council.

CorrespondenceCorrespondence including Scottish HydroBoard second consultation – C will look at itand reply to them. Towers that are appearing on A96 are to heighten pylons and then they will be lowered.An email was received from Jane Sharp aboutthe closure of the public toilets. The FKAGenquired if a group could be set up tovolunteer to clean the toilets so that they mayremain open. It was questioned who wouldpay for the cleaning materials water andelectric used f taken over by a group. We needto respond by 30th March about the proposedtoilet closure. JM to email a compromise tokeep open the Keith Square and Fife Keithtoilets and shut the ones in car park on midstreet. It seems unfair that the toilets at StRufus Park are to shut as where are peoplemeant to go. A member suggested that theybe opened shorter hours could be acompromise. A suggestion that super looscould be used where you pay to use theconvenience. Training Calander – there are various trainingopportunities for people to attend.Local Government – a reply has been receivedsaying we had responded.Community Warden Service – Communitycouncillors have been sent a questionnaire tocomplete asking how they feel the wardens intheir area are doing and what could beimproved or done differently if anything.

The Rotary Clubpossibly will do a Sponsored Walk if this pathis under 10 miles.Water hydrant sunk at toilet block in KeithSquare. Holes are appearing on the newly laidtar which was laid in December. Street lightshave been put in through the old juniorprimary. There is a mess of smashed bottles inthe playground. Unauthorised parking is still aproblem at the KGS. Police will be approachedabout this matter.SC to see about the entranceto the school – it is not what the original plansaid it would be like.

Mrs Margaret McDonald – Cleansing Reportsabout the council driver being on busy roadsat peak times again when he could be gonground when it is less busy.

Cllr Stewart Cree - The subject of the DeveronCoaches which are to be cut at the end ofMarch was discussed. SC said that there it wasnot used enough.

PARLIAMENT BLOG & TIDE TIMES

I recently had a great experience speakingwith students at Buckie Community HighSchool about the power of campaigning. Thepupils I spoke to at the school were lookingat the issues of activities for young people in

Buckie and care of the elderly.It was a real pleasure listening to students who are reallyengaged with these issues and who clearly have a great deal tocontribute to their community. It gave me great heart that weare in good hands for the future!

In my role as Cabinet Secretary for RuralAffairs and the Environment I have spentquite a bit of time in Brussels andLuxembourg in recent months involved incrucial talks on fishing and farming. On a

personal level the downside of this is weekends cut short byoverseas travel playing havoc with family life and reducing thetime I would otherwise like to spend in Moray. That being said the issues being discussed and the outcomesof these talks are of vital importance to key sectors in ourregion and it is hugely important to make Scotland’s case. Iam of course now well used to the request from my youngsons to come back with sweets for them and I am sure theyjust think I am off to some kind of exotic chocolate emporium- If only!

KAM Hair and Body Spa has a long and proud history of being North Scotland's leading hair and beauty salon. Situated in the picturesque town of Lossiemouth, Moray, the award-winning team of 19 hair directors, stylists and beauty therapists prides itself on providing the complete hair and body experience.

KAM has been delivering exceptional service for over 20 years. Back in 1991, owner Karen Thomson took on the original premises of Square Cuts, developing it into a thriving salon before moving to larger premises on Queen Street in 2003 and renaming it KAM. Expanding into beauty, KAM’s reputation for excellence has continued to spread, and demand for its range of hair and beauty services has grown to such an extent that this year they have had to expand the salon.

KAM is recognised as a leading salon within the hair and beauty industry. Its list of accolades includes finalising for Scottish Hairdresser of the Year at the British Hairdressing Awards, and this year KAM was proud to have three team members fight off stiff competition to secure places at the L’Oreal Colour Trophy Regional Finals.

Whether it’s a simple cut or a complete restyle, you can be sure you’re in the hands of an expert at KAM. Every member of the team aims to create a bespoke style for each individual, taking into account for example not only your face shape, hair condition and skin tone but also your lifestyle and hair care routine. That’s why you’ll receive an in-depth consultation at every visit to ensure your final look is tailored to suit you perfectly, leaving you looking and feeling amazing.

Making you feel special is of paramount importance to the team- from relaxing in their massage chairs having your hair cleansed and conditioned, to choosing from their list of drinks, you will feel truly indulged in their luxurious and spacious surroundings. Exceptional customer service is offered at every point of your visit, and it doesn’t stop when you leave the salon - KAM always advises the best way to care for your hair in between salon visits, recommending the best products for your unique hair needs, as well as top tips for maintaining your look.

Along with hair, KAM also strives to bring clients the very latest innovations in beauty treatments and products. KAM provides a wide range of manual and electrical treatments, bringing you the very best from Caci who are known for providing the UK`s best selling non-surgical face, body and anti-ageing treatments or why not try the latest A-Lift treatment - another revolution in age-reversal technology.

For the ultimate in relaxation KAM’s treatments from 5 award winning spa company, ESPA are not to be missed. With a truly holistic approach to modern living, their treatments are second to none and products contain only the purest extracts and are paraben free. At KAM there’s a treatment for your every need, be it face, body or mind, and don’t forget they’re great for men too.

KAM also stocks a range of great products including Environ, Jane Iredale mineral skin care makeup, and Advanced Nutrition Programme - all of which are part of the International Institute of Anti Ageing, and that’s not all; KAM regularly has experts visit the salon and offers skin analysis sessions, allowing you to discover all that's good and bad about your skin. In addition, KAM also offers a wide range of nail, waxing and tanning treatments and products.

If you’re a bride-to-be, KAM will make sure you’re picture perfect on your big day. From your initial consultation where the team will talk you through a range of options using moodboards to inspire your look, you’ll be confident that every detail will be taken care of, including hair, make up, tanning and nails for you and your bridal party.

KAM provides its team with intense training to ensure that all services are carried out to the very highest standard. All team members participate in regular training and development to continuously build upon their knowledge and skills, ensuring they are always at the very top of their game. That’s why KAM team members are in such high demand. For example, Owner Karen is a member of the Matrix Artistic Team and Salon Manager Paula is a member of the Matrix Education Team. They are both regularly called upon to travel the globe to act as ambassadors for the hairdressing industry, inspiring others with their world-class cutting and colouring techniques. If a career at KAM sounds like something you would like to be a part of, get in touch.

With so much on offer, it’s clear why KAM is now the premier hair and beauty destination.

Orienteering is no ordinary run. And this is no ordinary event. The Scottish 6 Days Orienteering Festival has been happening every two years in Scotland since it was first staged (in Moray) in 1977. Since then it has grown to become one of Scotland’s biggest mass-participation sporting events.Returning to this area after a 10-year absence, with an iconic whisky still as its logo, Moray 2013 is set to bring a £2 million boost to our economy. Up to 4,000 runners, joggers and walkers will descend on us from all over the world, attracted by the fabulous Moray terrain and the unique Scottish flavour of what’s on offer outside the competition. Brodie Castle hosts the Event Centre and official camp site while nearby Dyke Village Hall will host a busy programme of entertainments all week long.But this is no elitist competition. The beauty of orienteering is that it

FUN ON THE RUNprovides something for everyone – and you don’t have to be competitive either. Just as Moray is laying down the welcome mat to everyone associated with the event, the organisers want to welcome locals to be part of the biggest sporting occasion that Moray will ever have staged.This is a sport where a 9-year old can share the same start line as an interna-tional athlete. One might be heading 15 Km in one direction while the other has just 2Km to go along the forest trails. It’s not uncommon for 4 generations from the same family to take part together. There were more than 200 people aged 70 or over, and 500 under 18s amongst the 3,000 people who had entered by mid May!You don’t even have to run. Orienteering is all about finding your way round a course with a special map as quickly as you can. The hares certainly don’t always win!There are 36 different courses plus special ‘follow the string’ routes where even

toddlers can take their first steps at orienteering with a special picture map, discovering an array of woodland characters on their way! There will even be a disability-friendly “Trail O” at Culbin on the Wednesday rest day and some Mountain Bike Orienteering in Monaughty! If you’ve never tried orienteering, this is the time to do it. But please make life easy by entering by 30th June if you possibly can. Entries on the day are possible, but big queues are expected so patience will be needed if you turn up on the day! If you're unsure what course to enter, why not go to one of the many smaller events being held in Moray and Nairnshire during June and see how you get on? You can find details on www.moravianorienteering.orgGetting lost has never been so much fun.

Popular for some years now, particularly for those whose time is very limited, a City Break is

an excellent way of getting away for a few days and nights, and seeing some interesting and different

culture. One of the most common Cities from this part of the world has been Paris because, as with Amsterdam it is accessible in one flight from Aberdeen, but there are many European cities which now see large numbers of short-term visitors from Scotland.

The advantage of a City break is that you can come and go on any days of the week that you select, normally using scheduled aircraft to spend 3 or 4 nights in a city, with a complete selection of differing hotels. Imagine flying to Nice or Cannes for 3 or 4 nights, staying in a smart city hotel full of character for Bed and Breakfast because there are so many restaurants that you would want to try for lunch and dinner in the evening. Because time is limited you don't wait hours for transfer coaches, but are transported to your hotel by taxi or car. Cities like Nice are excellent for walking about, seeing the marinas and the waterfront.

Though no direct flights exist from Scotland, Vienna is another popular destination, with all its imperial splendour, Art Nouveau, waltzes and coffee houses. A grand ring of 19th century palaces surrounds the mediaeval city, with its narrow streets, hospitable inns, cafes and shops. Customers have recently joined a break to Vienna with a trip to Budapest, using the train to travel from one to the other. Both cities boast much of the 19th century grandeur of the Hapsburg Empire. It's Bela Bartok and Liszt Museums in Budapest as it is the Strauss family in Vienna.

There are many suitable Italian cities to visit for a short time, and Florence is one of the finest settings of them all. On the banks of the River Arno, Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and the city of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Giotto, Dante and their patrons the Medici family. When you are there a visit to the Uffizi Gallery (recently acclaimed to be the best Art Gallery in the world) and Museum is a must! It is there that you will find The Birth of Venus by Botticelli.

There are direct flights now from Edinburgh to Athens, Bergen, Brussels, Budapest,

Dubrovnik, Frankfurt, Krakow, Lisbon, Lyon, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Naples, Oslo, Paris Prague,

Reykjavik, Rome, Salzburg, St Petersburg, Stockholm, Tampere and Toulouse to mention but a few.

What will YOU do...?

Published by www.WordsbytheWayside.co.uk Registered Scottish Charity SCO41290

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36

Did it ever occur to you that everyone must answer this question? I must answer it. You must answer it. It’s the most important question you will ever answer. God requires an answer. Your whole future depends upon the answer to this question! I cannot answer for you and you cannot answer for me. Each must answer for himself. We MUST answer since God holds each of us personally, and eternally, respon-sible for what we do with His Son, Jesus Christ the Saviour.

If you were in the crowd that day, would you have cried ‘Crucify Him!’ Or would you, like Pilate, just try to avoid the issue? Pilate washed his hands and said that he was innocent of this man’s blood – but he was guilty of rejecting Christ...and if we do not accept the Lord Jesus Christ for what he is – the Son of God and Saviour of the world – then we too are guilty of his blood, and God will hold us to account. The question is now; What will YOU do with Jesus which is called Christ?

We need a Saviour because we are all sinners guilty of o�ending a Holy God, and God’s righteous wrath is what we deserve. But God in mercy has provided a Way of escape. He gave his only Begotten Son, that “whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). He came into the world that whosoever believeth in Him should not walk in darkness The Lord Jesus Christ, by His death,

met every just and holy claim God had against sin. And then He rose again in victory for death had no hold on Him. What will YOU do with Jesus which is called Christ?

The question is not ‘Are you sincere?’ or ‘Are you doing the best you can?’ or ‘Have you joined a church? or ‘Have you been baptised?’ Perhaps you still think that your good works and morality will save you? No, it is a divine, living Person that is before you, the One who said “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by Me” (John 14:6) Have you received the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal Saviour? Are you trusting in His shed blood and work on the cross alone for salvation?

Will you acknowledge that you are a guilty sinner? Will you repent of your sin? And will you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? What will YOU do with Jesus which is called Christ?

There is no way to avoid the question. To reject it, or even just to ignore it, is to reject Him who died to be your Saviour. If we do not accept Him as our Saviour, we will one day face Him as our Judge. The Bible says “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of �re” (Revelation 20:15) Is your name in the Book of Life?

Ask yourself the question...”What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?”

Just as there was only one door into the ark for salvation from the �ood, so there is only one ‘door’ for you to enter into God’s salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ is that Door. Will you enter in? Do not reject Him any longer. He died to save you.

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is” (Jeremiah 17:7)

Long ago a Roman judge named Pilate asked “What

shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?”

(Matthew 27:22)
