For my I got paid, I have the next two days off and the most important thing is my nephew made it through his surgery just fine. He broke his leg really bad last night and was in surgery until 12:40 am and they believe he will be ok but will be in a wheel chair for eight weeks and cast for up to six months. Sorry to much information anyways today was a great day for me....Have a good one

Calling the day of the Crucifixion ‘Good’ Friday is a designation that is peculiar to the English language. In German, for example, it is called Karfreitag. The Kar part is an obsolete word, the ancestor of the English word care in the sense of cares and woes, and it meant mourning. So in German, it is Mourning Friday. And that is what the disciples did on that day—they mourned. They thought all was lost.
I’ve read that the word good used to have a secondary meaning of holy, but I can’t trace that back in my etymological dictionary. There are a number of cases in set phrases where the words God and good got switched around because of their similarity. One case was the phrase God be with you, which today is just good-bye. So perhaps Good Friday was originally God’s Friday. But I think we call it Good Friday because, in pious retrospect, all that tragedy brought about the greatest good there could be.
I can see virtue in either terminology. If we call it Mourning Friday, as in German, we are facing reality head on, taking up the cross if you will, fully conscious that the Christian walk is seldom a walk in the park. But if we call it Good Friday, as in English, we are confessing the Christian hope that no tragedy—not even death—can overwhelm God’s providence, love, and grace. Either way seems fine to me!
Hope I helped!

They paid me on Wednesday because I had the rest of the week off. So, the only good thing about this Friday was that I was off from work.

Good Friday is when it is believed Christ was crucified (killed on the cross). Easter Sunday is when he is believed to have risen.

Jesus was crucified today, which really isn't such a good thing, except for the fact that it leads to his Resurrection, and rising again.
