Sunday, first day of the week. Its English name and its German name ( Sonntag) are derived from the Latin dies solis, “sun's day,” the name of a pagan Roman holiday. In the New Testament (see Revelation 1:10) it is called the Lord's Day (Dominica in the Latin version), from which the name of Sunday is derived in Romance languages (French Dimanche; Italian Domenica; Spanish Domingo; Roman Duminica). In the early days of Christianity, Sunday began to replace the Sabbath and to be observed to honor the resurrection of Christ. Sunday was instituted as a day of rest, consecrated especially to the service of God, by the Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Since the 4th century, ecclesiastical and civil legislation has frequently regulated work on Sunday and service attendance. In the United States, laws limiting business activity and amusements on Sundays have become known as blue laws.

I don't know the reason for your decision, but as it is the end of my 12th std exams i am in a mood to say that every day is a new experience. But those who work hard for the entire week get their rest only on sundays.
I think all your days are bored, cause every day is just a day for all of us. Think that god has given us a grace period of one day to live. Then in that day what all will u do? I am sure that u will enjoy as much as possible. So think it like that.

I love Sundays. It's a day off from work, and if you find the right church, it's great to go on Sundays.

No, of course not.
Why would anyone bore a dam anyway, regardless of the day of the week? Isn't that kind of dangerous to the villages downstream from the dam?
