[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1589563, member: 561023"] A man walking along a beach on the Gold Coast was deep in prayer. Suddenly the sky clouded over 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 replied: "Build a bridge from here to New Zealand, so I can drive across there to go fishing whenever I want". But the Lord replied: "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 vast amounts of concrete and steel. It would nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it but it is hard to justify your desire for worldly things. Try to think of something more spiritual that would honour and glorify me". The man thought for a while then finally spoke. "Lord," he began, "I wish that I could understand my wife. 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" and how I can make her truly happy." An awkward pause followed, then the Lord replied: "You want two lanes or four?" [/QUOTE]
