Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He
inquired of God, "Where have You been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction 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 great place of balance."
"Balance?", inquired Michael, 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; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot. Over
here
I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of
black people,"
God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely
hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in
ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large land mass
and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That's Michigan, the most glorious place on earth.
You'll notice that it is made in the fashion of my hand, the Hand of God.
There are beautiful lakes, rivers, sunsets and rolling hills.
The people from Michigan are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous
and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely
sociable,
hard working and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world
as diplomats and carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed,"
What about balance, God?" "You said there would be balance!"
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I'm putting around them
in Ohio, Indiana, W isconsin and Canada."
