God was nowhere to be seen for six days.
Finally, Michael, the Archangel, found him resting on the seventh day.
Michael asked God, "Where have you been?".
God smiled with deep satisfaction and pointed downward through the clouds, saying, "Michael, look what I created!".
Puzzled, Michael asked, "What is it?".
"It's a planet", replied God, "and I'm going to call it Earth, and it has balance."
"Balance?", said Michael, "What's that?".
God then explained, pointing out the different areas of Earth.
"For example, this area is a place of great forests, but this other area is covered with rocky mountains. Over there is a region of many lakes and streams, but over here is a broad grassland.".
He continued, "This area is hot and humid, but over here it is cold and covered with ice.".
Michael, impressed with God's handiwork, then pointed to one particular spot and said, "What about that area?".
"That's West Virginia, the most glorious spot on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people I've placed there are good looking, modest, intelligent, and humorous. They are sociable, hard-working, high achievers, peaceable, and producers of good things.".
Gasping in awe and wonder, Michael then asked, But what about balance? You said that there would be balance.".
God ruefully smiled and explained, "Over there, just East of West Virginia is Washington, D.C.. Wait until you see those people and that place!".
