A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. Suddenly, the 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 will grant you one wish,"

 The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I 
want."

 The Lord said, "Your request is very 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 man 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 a woman
truly happy."

The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
