Well, double gee.  My bible doesn't mention the names of the days
of the week.  I bet somebody out there is more of an expert  than
I,  but I believe that the names of the days of the week which we
use in English derive from several sources, including  Roman  and
Norse  mythology.   Do you really think anyone knows which day is
the 7th day, after all this time?  I mean, this *is* of paramount
importance.   Seems  to  me the safest way to observe the Sabbath
(resting, worshiping, watching football, whatever) would be to do
it  every  day  of  the  week,  just  to be sure that you got the
seventh one covered.  It's just a thought.
