We all have expectations when we get to heaven. Personally, I don’t think there are pearly gates and streets made of gold. That would not be in line with the teachings of not having a love of money. And, I suppose that each of us will have a million questions to ask.
My first question has to be one that has puzzled men from the beginning. Let me explain with a little story. A man was walking along the sea shore in California when he spotted an old bottle. He retrieved the bottle and could tell it was really old. Since he could not see what was inside, he carefully opened it. To his surprise a genie popped out. The genie explained that a wicked wizard had placed him in the bottle nearly two thousand years ago. As a token of his appreciation for being freed, he told the man that he would grant him one wish. Anything he wanted or wanted to know.
The man answered almost immediately and said, "I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii, but have such a fear of flying or being on a boat, that I could never go. So, I want you to build a bridge from California to Hawaii so I can drive there."
The genie explained to the man, "That would be a extraordinary feat, and while I can do that, it would require millions of tons of concrete and steel that could be put to better use. Is there anything else you might request?"
The man answered, "Well, there is one more thing. I would like you to explain to me how a woman thinks."
The genie looked the man straight in the eye and said, "Do you want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"
There will be a long line in heaven waiting for God to answer that question.
