sloth

SLOTH, n.

1. Slowness; tardiness I abhor this dilatory sloth and tricks of Rome.

2. Disinclination to action or labor; sluggishness; laziness; idleness. They change their course to pleasure, ease and sloth. Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears.

3. An animal, so called from the remarkable slowness of his motions. There are two species of this animal; the ai or three toed sloth, and the unau or two toed sloth; both found in South America. 

*It is said that its greatest speed seldom exceeds three yard an hour. O_o it feeds on vegetables and ruminates.

Henry David Thoreau 

God will never direct us to be prideful, arrogant and unforgiving, immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us.
Charles Stanley 

No one who is in this world will deny that evils exist. What, then, do we say? That evil is not a living and animated substance, but a condition of the soul which is opposed to virtue and which springs up In the slothful because of their falling away from good.
Saint Basil

Personal Definition:

I think that being slothful means to be lazy. It means that you always want to stay in your comfort zone, and never try any new adventures. 

You never want to leave your hobbit hole. :)

(I think, as a type 2, or a white (/blue) I don't like change, I just like peace, so I'm a little afraid of scary new things. Ok, a lot afraid of scary new things.

So, this is a good one for me, and for everyone really, because we got to remember that God is our strength, and with Him, any new task, or commandment, is possible. 

He can turn our weaknesses to strengths, so why not turn our slothfulness to willingness to be tools in His hands and do what is right!
