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 downward 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 various parts of earth. "For example, here will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while over there is going to be poor."
"Over here I've placed a area of mostly jungle, and over there is an area of mostly desert.
"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 land area and said, "What's that one?"
"That's Washington State , a most glorious place. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills and plains.
"The people from Washington State 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, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats, carriers of peace and producers of software."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled, "There is another Washington . Wait till you see the idiots I put there."
