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 and pointed downwards through the clouds. “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 mostly poor. Over here I’ve placed a continent of snow and over there is a continent of hot sand. You see, balance… in all things.” God continued pointing to different countries while saying it’s all about balance.
The Archangel , impressed by God’s work, then pointed to a land area and said, “What’s that one?” “That’s Texas. The people from Texas are going to be modest, thrifty, and intelligent. They will be extremely hardworking, high achieving, trustworthy, truthful and producers of many good things.”
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, “But what about your balance, God?”
God smiled, “For that I will create Washington, DC.”
