This is so unfortunate. Taking your own life is not the best, however, only God knows why. It’s so pithy.
Very sad! Sir Ernest, rest well. He mentored me in 2015 when I was doing my observation at Sekyedumasi SDA primary school. Such a gentleman
Please, suicide is not a good example. Nobody should commit suicide. The act is a suffering of body and self condemnation to hell emmediately after killing yourself. It is written that we are the temple of God, so if anyone destroys it he shall also be destroyed (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
