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 one wish.

The biker pulled over and said, Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want.

God said, It is disappointing that your request is so blatantly selfish and 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 of the planets natural resources. I can do it, of course, but it is hard for me to justify using so many of Earths much-needed resources for such a task. 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 shes thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothings wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy.

God replied, So, do you want two lanes or four on that bridge?
