A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky
clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said,
"Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will
grant you one wish."
The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can
ride over anytime I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic.
think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The
supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific!
The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust
several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me
to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time
and think of something that would honor and glorify me."
The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord,
I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she
feels
inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment,
why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, and
how
I can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
