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 any time
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 on 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 her truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
