How God Made Maryland
In case you are wondering, an enlightening explanation….
God was missing for six days. On the seventh day, Michael, the archangel, found him - resting. He inquired, "Oh great God.....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, and I'm going to call it Earth; it's going to be a place to
test balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm confused."
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, he said 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 area will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel was impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and asked, "What's that one?"
"That's Maryland , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, ocean, rivers and streams,
lakes, forests, hills and plains. The people from Maryland 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 good things."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But, what about balance, God? You said there
would be balance."
God smiled and said, "right next to Maryland is Washington, DC. Wait 'till you see the idiots I place there."
