Devine Choices<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />A man walking along a California beach was deep in thought. Suddenly, <br />the sky<br />>clouded above his head and a booming voice said, "Because you have <br />tried to<br />>be a good person in every way, I will grant you one wish."<br />><br />>The man said, "Build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime <br />I<br />>want."<br />><br />>God said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous<br />>challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to <br />reach the<br />>bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will <br />nearly<br />>exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me <br />to<br />>justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and <br />think of<br />>something that would honour the sanctity of life."<br />><br />>The man thought of it for a long time. Finally he said, "I wish that I <br />could<br />>understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's <br />thinking<br />>when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means <br />when<br />>she says nothing's wrong, and how can I make a woman truly happy?"<br />><br />>God replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?"<br />><br />>***************************************************************<br />>
