Ask if they are lazy and have the muchies. If so it might not be simple laziness… (bg)

That little hangy-down thing in the back of your throat is named after the Los Angelos campus of Utah Valley University (UVU-LA). It has nothing to do with the Orem campus.

“Well, I’m glad I ain’t scared to be lazy.” -Guss McCrae(Lonesome Dove) …
I have always loved that line.

What if God tells you not to go to church? Is that legitimate?

What if, instead of God, it’s Buddha, the Great Spirit or Karl H. Marx, that tells you not to go? Is that legitimate?

I haven’t gone to church for several weeks because my work keeps scheduling me on Sunday morning. :(

Legitimate?

My first thought is:

Why are you eavesdropping on conversations you weren’t invited to listen to?

I can tell you all from experience that you can be “too lazy” and “too gay” but you can’t be both at the same time.

Speaking as one who was called “lazy” for one reason or other for some forty years, I might be possibly be considered an expert on the subject.
“Lazy” is one of those terms that usually describe the speaker at least as well as if not better than the one he is describing.
As in, once you’ve judged someone as lazy, you’ve exempted yourself from even trying to help them. It’s often easier to imagine you can read minds and pronounce a moral judgment than it is to actually listen and try to understand someone else’s lapses.

But being meta-judgmental is not nearly as bad a sin as being judgmental, given its potential educational value…
