A man walking along a beach was deep in prayer. 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 man said:"Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over
anytime I want"

The Lord replied:"Your request is very 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 man 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?"
