    You guys should persuade your churches to start a Saturday evening (which is the true Sabbath 7th day) service like mine; and no, I'm just a garden variety Baptist, not Jewish! That way you can ride either day, both days or sleep in:thumbsup:!

    Or you can join my religion, meetings for which are not held inside a building. Usually with very few congregants at a time, too. :thumbsup:
