The Path of Slothfulness


"The wise man ... knows that
the sluggard is no freak,
but, as often as not, an ordinary man
who has made too many excuses,
too many refusals
and too many postponements.
It has all been as imperceptible,
and as pleasant,
as falling asleep.

—Derek Kidner
[Commentary on] Proverbs (IVP, 1964), p.43

  2. Was that Elise in the photo, lying on the wood floor? How can I become a follower of your page? I couldn't find a link for that. Did you know we have Matthew's glove and bat? How could we get it back to you all?
