Default God created Michigan (for all my midwest friends)



God Created Michigan






The Creation of Michigan




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,' re plied 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, Illinois Wisconsin and Canada.'
