Why God Made Those Fly Over States

Jason Aldean has a beautiful song out right now called "Fly Over States."   It is about some guys on a flight across the U.S. looking down on the middle of our country--looking down at the "fly over states."    Those of us from Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, etc.--we've all been on the receiving end of the pitying comments from our coastal friends--poor, poor, pitiful us for having to suffer the deprivation of living where it is brown, flat & nothing to look see (or at least that is their opinion).  If they only knew....

   

"On the plains of Oklahoma
With a windshield sunset in your eyes
Like a water colored painted sky
You'll think heavens doors have opened
You'll understand why God made
Those fly over states."

Last night God finger-painted the sky.   I think He looked down on these fly-over states and smiled.
