Ever wonder why there are only seven day in a week? why not eight? i just need one more day...seriously, my "do absolutely nothing" day. If i were the rule maker back then...eight day weeks would be the way to go. This sparked my interest. so i looked into it.......but searching for a reason to have a day all to myself, i realized there is someone way more important who needs a day...
So Sunday, to christians, is God's day, a day of rest. Yet ironically, the name Sunday has nothing to do with God. It's named after the sun, because the romans wanted to show their respect for the sun by letting it have the first day of the week...whats up with that? They should of given us ten day weeks just to make up for that dumb decision...
Ok, u thought sunday was named for a retarded reason...listen to monday. since the sun was honored, nobody wanted the moon to get jealous so they had to pay their respect to the moon as well. Also, it's referred to as the blue day. Nobody for sure knows why, but the reason i liked was that blue is associated with depression. And since monday begins the work week, don't we all get a lil depressed?
Tuesday has a long drawn out story...basically it was named after the Roman god of war, Mardi....like Mardi Gras, fat tuesday....funny how so far none of these names have anything to do with the one and only true GOD.
Wednesday, another day named after a false god, Odin. He was the chief god of Asgard so i guess he must have deserved a day too....Wednesday also called hump day...awkward...its the "middle of the week" day
Moving along...Thursday named after the god of thunder..dont know why, probably another boring story, but i like thursday because Thanksgiving is always on a thursday...yummy
TGIF...the most favorite, popular, and looked forward to day of the week (is that a fragment?) anyway, named after Frigga (Odin's wife). She was the goddess of marriage, to the Romans named after the goddess of beauty. This is the first day named after a female....and who doesnt love fridays??
Saturday, named after a roman festival. It is a day free of work...thats always good....
So, seven days. None of which were named after the actual God who worked the first six days and rested the seventh. None even mention respect to the real God who created these crazy roman people. Nobody even honored the awesome God who started it all, invented the day in the first place. Not fair huh. So i vote we have an eighth day completely named after our amazing, awesome, powerful creator...tell me what you think? what should it be called??

I just wanted to say that I think this is a great blog...and so very true! Too bad I can't come up with a great name for God's day...hmm...I'll have to think about it =)
...it would definitely be the BEST day of the week though...
how-a-bout -----JESSYDAY!!!! Named after God's greatest creation!
ummm...no!
uhh...I think that would be defeating the purpose of giving God his own day.....just a thought
