A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded
above his head and, in a booming voice, God said, "Because you have tried to
be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you but one wish."
The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride Harley
over there anytime I want."
God 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, "God, 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."
God replied, "You want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"
