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 asked,
"What's that one?"
"That's Washington State, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful
mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people
from Washington State 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
software."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about
balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled, "There's another Washington. Wait 'til you see the idiots I put
there."
