God
was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael, the archangel,
found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired, "Where have
you been?"
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards
through the
clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've
made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is
it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, and I've put life on
it.
I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to
test Balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still
confused."
God explained, pointing to different parts of
Earth.
"For example, northern Europe will be a place of
great
opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be
poor.
Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and
over there is a continent of black people.
Balance in all
things."
God continued pointing to different
countries.
"This one will be extremely hot, while this one will
be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel , impressed by
God's work, then pointed to a
land area and said, "What's that
one?"
"That's Virginia , the most glorious place on
earth.
There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes,
forests, hills, and plains.
The people from Virginia are going to
be handsome, modest,
intelligent, and humorous, and they are going
to travel the world.
They will be extremely sociable, hardworking,
high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good
things"
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then
asked,
"But what about balance, God? You said there would be
balance."
God smiled, "Right next to Virginia is
Washington , D.C....Wait till you see the idiots I put
there."
