Floating Caskets: Sign of the Rapture or sign of Flooding?
It’s crude and callous so I’m truly sorry that I could not resist typing that headline. Can I be forgiven in time for the next rapture?
The flooded Mississippi River is creating major problems for a Yazoo City cemetery.
High water forced three caskets to float out of the ground on Thursday at Bethel Missionary Baptist Church.
“I have a mother there; I have a sister buried there,” said church deacon Gregg Giles.
Giles said it was a call he never expected.
“It’s the first time we’ve ever seen water like this, and it was just shocking,” he said.
Bethel Missionary Baptist Church has stood its ground since 1859, but it has been no match for high floodwaters.
