A 12-year-old boy exploring an abandoned house in Dayton, Ohio discovered a mummified corpse hanging inside a closet on Sunday - that had been there for five years.

According to police, the stunned child had inadvertently found the body of the one-time resident of the house, Edward Brunton, who was in his late 40s at the time of his suicide.

Montgomery County Coroner's Office said that the closet containing Brunton acted as a coffin, protecting his body from decomposing and from animals and insects that may have deteriorated the condition of the corpse.

Oy.

That kid will have nightmares for life.

And how sad it is that this man had family and "friends" who didn't miss him.......   **nononono*
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Seems to be happening more and more.
