You can find differing opinions and evidence about which day is the actual first day of the week. Without trying I’ve already seen conflicting opinions. And, not surprisingly, some people get more than a little upset when you disagree with or challenge their position.

So, since today is the first day of the week, here’s an objective opinion about it.

For the decades I’ve been on the planet, Saturday and Sunday were considered “the weekend.” And since the weekEND couldn’t possibly be the same as the week (with no end at the end), then the week doesn’t start on Saturday or Sunday.

Therefore (remember, any time you see a therefore, find out what it’s there for), that leaves only five other possibilities for the first day of the week. And (you’re probably thinking ahead right now, but hang on) I think it’s quite easy to rule them out one by one.

Friday comes right before “the weekend.” So, it couldn’t possibly lead off the week. Thursday and Wednesday are relegated to also-ran-middle-of-the-week status. So, no first day there. And Tuesday starts off with a TWO sound. And everyone knows two can never be one. So, now we’re left with a single choice.

And that single choice is THE correct choice. Yep. Monday, without a doubt, is the first day of the week. An regardless of how it makes you feel, there’s the indisputable facts. So, I recommend no whining about it. No bleary-eyed Monday morning grumbles and groans.

Nope. I recommend you don’t build up one day over another. Just be glad for every single day of life. Because every single day of life is a day you didn’t earn. It was a precious gift. It IS a precious gift. And it is brought to you by the Creator of Heaven, Earth, solar systems, galaxies, and the universe. The Creator of you and me. And the creator of the wind. So, take off right now, and…

Ride The Wind

Monday morning put your wings on tight.
Wouldn’t wanna lose ’em in the middle of a flight.
Don’t forget wings for your one best friend…
Need a navigator, when you’re gonna ride the wind.

Check the weather. Is the blue sky blue?
Just a little lightning is enough to throttle you.
Wear your goggles, and I recommend
You take along some gloves when you’re gonna ride the wind.

Nothing better than to fly up high
Soaring with the eagles, it’s like dancing in the sky.
Don’t you worry when it has to end…
There’s always tomorrow when you’re gonna ride the wind.
