I finally got around to updating the parish web page. Everyone at the church has been wildly enthusiastic about the job I’ve done on it, but nobody wants to help contribute (e.g., send me electronic documents to post). Annoying. Still, it’s a service to the church community, and (dare I say it) to God, which is a bit daunting when I consider my occasionally slothful attitude toward it.
Still, if I had to commit a deadly sin related to my web work, sloth is probably the best. Better than the others. I mean, I could see Pride (of what I’ve done), Envy (of others’ web work), Wrath (pounding on the keyboard when my connection goes down doesn’t really help). Not sure how Lust would play a role (unless I was doing one of those web sites). Or Avarice (unless it’s “I want more megabytes!”). Or Gluttony (wanting to consume those self-same megabytes?).
The acronym I learned as a wee Catholic lad for the Seven Deadly Sins was PEWSLAG — Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Lust, Avarice, Gluttony.
