Caution….this story has been modified for me. It’s my blog so there.

What Would Jesus Do ? The answer might surprise you.

Recently, I found myself on a beach deep in prayer. I was feeling a bit selfish and exclaimed aloud, “Lord above, grant me one wish.”

Suddenly a booming voice sounded, “Because you have tried to be faithful to Me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.” Sure ’nuff it was our Savior.

“Lord,” I said. “If I may, I’d like a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want.”

The Lord said, “Your request is too 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 over thousands of miles! Sure I can do it, but why such a desire for worldly things? Think of another wish. A wish you think might bring honor and glory to Me.”

I thought of Emily and I said, “Lord, maybe give me an understanding of women? Seriously now, how can I know how they feel inside? When she says, “nothing’s wrong” or “please give me some space”? How I can make Emily truly happy?”

The good Lord paused for a bit and replied, “You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?”
