A man was walking along a California beach and
was in deep prayer to the Lord. He said, "Lord, you have promised
to give me the desires of my heart. Please give a confirmation that
you will grant my wish."
Suddenly the sky darkened and the Lord, in a booming
voice said, "I have searched your heart and determined it to
be pure. I think that I can trust that you will not disappoint me.
Because you have been faithful to me, I will grant you one wish."
The man said, "I've always wanted to go to
Hawaii, but I'm deathly afraid of flying and I get very sea sick
in boats. Could you build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive there
whenever I want?"
The Lord laughed and said, "That's impossible!
Think of the logistics! How would the supports ever reach the bottom
of the Pacific? Think of the concrete and steel! Your request is
very materialistic and disappointing. I could do it but it's hard
for me to justify. Take a little more time and make another wish,
one you think would honour and glorify Me."
After much thought, the man said, "I"ve
been married 4 times. My wives always said that I was insensitive
to their needs. So I wish that I could understand women. I want
to know how they feel and what they're thinking. i want to know
why they cry and how to make them truly happy. That's my wish, Lord."
Then, after a few minutes, God said, "You
want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
