To ride or not to ride?????

This morning even before i was fully awake, I received news that one of my colleague
had an accident the night before. He was riding, on his way to pick up his wife
when he crashed head on with a taxi. At first I heard that he is unconsicous,
next I heard that he is in ICU, then I heard that his brain is dead.

When I reach TTSH, I was informed that a 2nd opioion was sought and the doctor
also said that his brain is dead and the chances of recovery is almost zero.
And he is fully supported by the life machine. Just a touch of the switch and he is gone.
I was telling myself that when I go into the ward, I will pray for him.
When I saw the state that he was in, with all the tube plug into him, my mind went blank.
Just 24 hrs ago he was smiling and joking. But now he is lying there motionless.

It took me a few hours to get over the shock and to pray for him.
It will really take a miracle. And i don't even know how to pray for him.....

Guess pray not just for him but his family as well... They saved?

Well, guess one of the more urgent task now is also to pray for the family as well as those who have contact with family so that 1) they'll realise how short and unpredictable life is 2) they can reflect and ponder on the meaning of life... And also pray that they will encounter godly Christians who can minister to them during this period of mourning/sadness.
