A biker was riding along the California coastline when suddenly the
sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, God said, "Because
you have been faithful to Me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."
The biker pulled over and said, "Lord, build me a bridge to Hawaii so
I can ride over 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 non-materialistic 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."
God replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?
