Bridge to Hawaii

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. Suddenlythe 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 willgrant you one wish.''The man said, ''Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime Iwant.''The Lord said, ''Your request is very materialistic. Think of theenormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supportsrequired to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel itwould take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can doit, 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 andglorify me.''The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, ''Lord, Iwish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feelsinside, 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 Ican make her truly happy.''The Lord replied, ''You want two lanes or four on that bridge?''
