The point I was attempting to make in my only post on Trippy's trials 
was that when one posts a subject line like: "If I can't do this or 
that, I don't want to live", the issue runs much deeper than an 
inability to solve problems unless the writer is clearly engaging in 
hyperbole. I have faced many things in my almost 55 years in this 
fallen world, but none of them have killed me yet. When my physical 
death does come, all problems will be solved whether technical or not. 
(ISAIAH 57:1) The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: 
and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is 
taken away from the evil to come . 2 He shall enter into peace: they 
shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. (PSALMS 
116:15) Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. 
(1 CORINTHIANS 15:55) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is 
thy victory? Respectfully: Richard Wells, WD5CMZ
