A man walking along a beach was deep in prayer. All of a
sudden, he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one wish." 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 France 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 ocean! 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, a wish you think
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 the silent treatment, why they cry,
what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a woman truly
happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"
