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 me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over any
time 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 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, 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 me the silent treatment, why they cry,
what they mean when they say "nothing", and how to make a woman truly
happy."
The Lord replied, "Do you want lights on that bridge?"
