Dear David, 

I'm not one to speculate on what God will or will not do. I think of 
God as initimately involved with the universe, so much so that the 
molecules would not hold together without His constant involvement. 
But there is the Hidden Will of God and the Revealed Will. We can't 
hope to understand that Hidden Will by which holocausts and 
catastrophes occur. We need to focus on God's revealed Will through 
Baha'u'llah and follow His guidance as to how to grow through them. I 
don't think there is any profit in  speculating about in what sense 
God is sending us tests. Like that story of the three brothers I 
recounted, these kinds of speculations will just drive you crazy. 

warmest, Susan
