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 Ive made. Archangel Michael
looked puzzled and said, What is it?

Its a planet, replied God, and Ive put Life on it. Im going to call
it Earth and its 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 hotspot.

Over there Ive placed a continent of white people and over there is a
continent of black people, God continued, pointing to different Ê
continents.

This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold
and covered in ice.

The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large land mass
and said, Whats that?

Ah, said God. Thats Florida, the most glorious place on earth. There
are beautiful lakes, rivers, streams and climate. The people from Florida
are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be
found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking 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 Im sending them from
the North every winter!
