A biker was riding on a highway 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 would 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?"
