Failure

I remember when I was going to school to learn how to drive a truck. There was this student there that said, "Failure is not an option". I wonder what happened to him... I am sure he got his CDL, but how long did he stay with CR England? I can't imagine he is still with them. I can't imagine anyone in my class to still be with them, except for perhaps 1 or 2 at most. Failure is not an option. I can only remember hearing that phrase a handful of times in my life. I remember reading about an actress saying it... and now once again I am reading it. Failure is not an option...

The Lord is saying, "Do you trust me?".

For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 55:8
For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isa 55:9

I bought an unworking, used laptop from e-bay the other day, and I have been trying to figure out how to fix it... It seems to be a little complicatd, but I have to find out why it is not turning on. I have run accross alot of good information about the laptop, even how to fully take it apart an put it back together. It has no hard drive, no memory, no CD-ROM, and no battery or power cord. So I first have two questions. Do I need a battery to test the power supply? My guess is, that I probobly don't considering it is a pretty new laptop...
