Dear Susan,
Yes, we are *supposed* to want more. But we don't do the determiantion
of when we've had enough. Tests don't stop until we die in any case.
It says in the Writings that God doesn't burden a soul beyond its capacity.
I'm just wondering how one could determine what a person's

Dear Susan,
Well, you could also ask for them. But God has been so bountiful to me
on this account that I've never felt any compulsion to pray for tests.
