Last week we heard how God gave Kate two wonderful children, Jonathan and David, despite the odds stacked against her. We also heard the terrifying story of how David was infected with viral encephalitis while in Hong Kong.

Are we ready to die? How should we live our lives, knowing that life is so brief and fragile?

To the outside world, David looked to be in a coma – as if asleep. Today we hear what David experienced, from his point of view.

David’s Story

即便如此，我的心却充满着无限的感激和喜悦，那是使无变有的神所赐下的一份贵重的礼物——在基督里的自由，是白白得来的；然而我过去却因罪而付出了沉重的代价。” — 昊德

孤寂中等待死亡

回忆对昊德来说，是一件非常不愉快的事。那些封尘在心底40多年，发生在他生命中、他家庭里的往事，他都不愿再提。

那一年，昊德25岁，向来都没有喝酒的习惯。可是那一晚，如他所言：“我可能心情有些郁闷，就喝了些酒……也可能是因为酗酒的关系，在神志不清醒的状态下，犯下了不能逆转、无法挽救的大错。”
