@sacredchad: The word "goodbye" originated in the late 1300s as "God be with ye," a blessing spoken when parting ways. By the 1570s, it had been contracted to "godbwye," and by the 1590s it became "good-bye," influenced by phrases like "good day" and "good night." Every time you say goodbye, you are unknowingly asking God to watch over the person you are leaving. #goodbye #christian #christianity
