Good at knowing them — that’s what you meant, correct?

LOL at the photo. My kitchen looks like that sometimes. I trash it when I cook. Still laughing.
Yes I think sloth addresses all kinds of laziness. I was amazed to see the laziness with faith addressed, but it sure makes sense. Brings to mind C and E Catholics who don’t even bother going to Reconciliation during the Easter season.
