The Rocky Mountains form part of the Continental Divide,
which runs through western Colorado. The divide, the main watershed boundary of
the North American continent, weaves through the continent along the tops of the
Rocky Mountains. It marks the point at which all rivers to the east flow toward
the Atlantic Ocean and all rivers to the west flow toward the Pacific Ocean.
Let the Truth be Known
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 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 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 hot spot. Over there I've
placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black
people,"
God continued, pointing to different countries.
"This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold
and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large land mass and
said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "That's COLORADO, the most glorious place on
earth. There are beautiful Mountains, Lakes, Reservoirs, Rivers, Glorious
Sunsets and rolling hills.
The people from Colorado are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and
they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely
sociable, hard working 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 I'm putting around them
in
Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Utah
