Building Bridges...
A good man was walking along a California beach, deep in prayer. Suddenly, inspired by a desire to be one with his kin, he cried out aloud, "Oh Lord, please grant me one wish."
The sunny California sky clouded above his head and a booming voice from the heavens rang out as the Lord said, "Because you are a good man and have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you your one wish."
The man said, "Lord. Please build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over to visit my family anytime I want."
The Lord replied, "Good man - 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 that would be needed, over thousands of miles! It is possible, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish; something that you think would honour 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 the silent treatment, why they sometimes cry for no apparent reason, what they mean when you ask what is wrong and they say ,nothing!', and how I can make a woman truly happy."
There was a long pause, until the Lord replied, "How many lanes do you want on that bridge?"
