A
Bridge To Far::: A man was riding
his Harley along a California highway, when suddenly the sky cleared 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 reaching the bottom of the Pacific, and 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
could possibly help mankind.'
The biker thought about it for a
long time. Finally, he said, 'Lord, I wish that I and all men could
understand women; 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, why she snaps and complains when I try to
help, and how I can make a woman truly happy.'
The
Lord replied, 'You want two lanes
or four lanes on that
bridge?'
