Going to Hawaii
A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer.
All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one
wish."
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 to."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic.
Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The
supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The
concrete and steel it would take! 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 another wish, one 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 women. I want
to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when
they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they
mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make
a woman truly happy."
After a few minutes God said, "You want two lanes or
four on that bridge?"
