He & his band are better known as ‘Alice Cooper’ and have wowed rock fans & disgusted onlookers for over four decades. His autobiography, “Alice Cooper, Golf Monster” reminded me that I shouldn’t ‘judge a book by its cover’ or write someone off by their face. Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1327927693/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1327927693/ Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:48:13 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1327318932/ Presently under the soil seeds & bulbs are quietly sending out roots & shoots, soon to surface and show in spectacular Spring. Bleak, black soil, bare, barren & not a little boggy with winter’s wettest, will soon give way to green & blooming beauty. As long dark days let a little more light in each 24 hours, anticipation of a pregnant creation’s birthing of beauty grows. Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1327318932/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1327318932/ Mon, 23 Jan 2012 11:42:12 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1326739377/ So how’s your early January determination to visit the gym more often, eat less chocolate, drink less alcohol, do less or more, be more passionate, more caring, more whatever? It’s about now that reality-checks click in and much solid New Year resolve turns to mush. Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1326739377/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1326739377/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:42:57 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1326145313/ It’s been right ‘Windy Miller’ in Scotland lately has it not!? I hope you haven’t been too adversely affected! In the attached photo we have a calmer scene at Irvine Harbour, with the scenic estuary in the foreground and wind turbines on the distant hills. Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1326145313/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1326145313/ Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:41:53 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1325510619/ How are you at sums? Do you use a calculator or add in your head; what about ‘keeping a diary’ & ordering your days? I would be lost without my wee book diary. I’d also be missing without God’s lead in counting days up right. Six days to labour & a seventh to chill out, enjoy with loved ones, & centre on God again. Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1325510619/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1325510619/ Mon, 02 Jan 2012 13:23:39 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1324902487/ How good is it to sleep in!? Curled in a ball, nursing an ‘overhang’ from Christmas Day feasting, it is bliss to snooze on, untroubled by ‘alarm clock’ on St Steve’s (Boxing) Day. Christmas services, among my all time favourites, didn’t disappoint! We were able to wel-‘come all ye faithful’ & others drawn in by annual atmosphere, family tradition & the hope of something ‘more than meets the eye.’ Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1324902487/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1324902487/ Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:28:07 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1324360296/ See the scene! Blues’ Brothers’ style - On opposite sides of a restless religious river stood one Roman Catholic Priest 'Father Jake' and one Protestant Minister 'Rev Neilwood'. Their "Mission from God!" (In true Blues’ Brothers’ style) To get their 'Good News Shoes' on, bridge gaps, break barriers and unite people in the truth that the 'Christ' of Christmas brings people together! Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1324360296/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1324360296/ Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:51:36 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1323709978/ An old Scottish pickup line, “Are you dancin’?” leads to the cheeky retort, “Naw it’s the way am standin’!” We’re film shooting, ‘The Shoes Brothers’, a Christmas prequel to last year’s ‘Min In Black’. All over Irvine, Father Willie Boyd & myself have been bopping about involving the community in a dance to celebrate the Christ of Christmas who unites us rather than the bigotry & sectarianism which tears apart. Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1323709978/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1323709978/ Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:12:58 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1323085777/ Friends, Minister http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1323085777/ http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1323085777/ Mon, 05 Dec 2011 11:49:37 +0000 http://www.fullartonchurch.co.uk/st/news/neilblog/m/1322521683/ What a way to celebrate the first Sunday in Advent (The Christmas season of pregnant, patient waiting & anticipation)! I’m not referring to Killie’s 17 year wait for a home victory over Rangers, which arrived on Sunday, rather to the youth of our church who ‘took over the asylum’ and ran the whole morning service. Set up as a ‘News Broadcast’ they showed great imagination & inspired great praise to God (check the ‘attachment’ photo for a wee look). They set us up nicely for the 4 weeks countdown to Christmas!
