And God Created Virginia

[noquarter]

I will admit to being slightly prejudiced.



THIS SUMS IT UP NICELY



…AND GOD CREATED VIRGINIA


(Even non-Virginians should love this one.)



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 downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael . Look what I've made."



Archangel Michael looked puzzled and asked, "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 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.



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 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 Virginia, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills,and plains. The people from Virginia 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, "Right next to Virginia is Washington, D.C. Wait till you see the idiots I put there."

Back in the 70's, while in the Army, as always, folks want to know where you are from. I used to tell them; "I'm from Western North Carolina. See, in 6 days, God created the world, on the 7th day he rested. He sat down to rest in WNC!"
It's kinda funny to see the OP!

I lived in Virginia for almost twenty years and loved the place. My youngest son was born there. I loved the hunting, fishing, history, food, weather, and everything else that Virginia has, except, Northern Virginia politics. They should let DC annex all those counties that abut it, and that would make Virginia perfect.

PS. I left there when I became a single parent and had no family closer than Minnesota. Sometimes I think I should have just put the kids up for adoption and stayed there. :roll:

I surely remember that God rested in Texas on the 7th day. HMMMM, What a conundrum. :shock:

Guys, if you simply must know where the ARMPIT of hell is, I'll save you the bother......it is located in the area 25 air miles around Orla,Texas.... This is where the Creator threw all the leftovers, and tried to cover it up

I am a Virginian. I was born in Radford, VA in July of 1943. My dad ran the Army Ammunition plant there (Now owned by Alliant) during WWII. Virginia is my home where I wish to have my ashes scattered.
