Most of you who have roots to New England will appreciate this!!
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 small green land>
area jutting into the sea between the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic Ocean> and said, "What's that one?"
"That's New England, the most beautiful place on earth.. There is rolling
countryside changing color with every season, rivers and streams, lakes for
fishing, forests, hills, and all around the ocean and beautiful beaches.
The people from New England 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 many good things."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about
balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled, "Not very far from New England is a place called Washington
DC..............Wait till you see the idiots I put there."
