Growing up immersed in Church, Sunday's have always been special. Some years ago I went with my mother to visit some friends of hers who were significant in the organisation and operation of The Lord's Day Observance Society. We didn't discuss that but my personal view was, and probably still is, that the existence of such societies demonstrates that we miss the point of the gospel. Having said that, there is something to be said for stating our priorities. Gathering with the people of God gives me the opportunity to hear Him speaking to me in ways that I would miss, to reorder my priorities, to enjoy the richness of a worshipping company.
In the USA calendars start with Sunday, not Mondays. I liked that. It helped perspective, I think.
