God & the Biker
A biker was riding along a California beach when 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 biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I
can ride over anytime I want." The Lord 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, "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, "Do you want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
