Day 3 - Aberdeenshire CYC

Great excitement after a rather wet day. Today was wet and as a result the planned activity of walking to Pitlochry was cancelled. Life's a bit like that! The word of God says 'boast not yourself of tomorrow for you know not what a day will bring forth'.

Tonight's activity involved building a balloon tower. The tallest won the competition. I think the young people enjoyed bursting the balloons at the end as much as building the tower. All good fun.

The messages today included the one about the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17-31) who claimed to have observed all the points of the law raised by the Lord Jesus but failed on the test of 'thou shalt not covet'. His wealth got in the way of following Christ. There is nothing wrong with money in itself but "the love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). I wonder what could stop you from following Christ. Nothing is worth losing your soul!
