Do you like to make sand castles?

People tried to make the tallest one ever. They worked and worked. It took a month.

Their castle was bigger than a three-story house!

READ MORE: A sand sculpture festival was held in Germany. One castle was 58 feet tall. It set a Guinness World Record. Artists needed more than buckets and shovels. They used a digger and a crane. The sand weighed more than three elephants! People can visit the castle until November. But you know it won’t last. Matthew 7:24 says that Jesus’ words are like a house built on rock. It won’t wash away like sand does.
