My wife, and my wife works very hard, you know.
Ignore that part about not loving sleep, Zuzia,
because she doesn't sleep enough.
She needs to sleep more, okay.
But she works very hard, okay.
And look, she could have a much easier life
if we would just go down to Walgreens
and buy all the voodoo ways to stop having children, okay.
But you know, she could have a much easier life
if we had less children.
She would not have to work as hard.
But you know what?
I guarantee you that she's much happier.
And if you ask her, she's happier.
Because you know what?
Here's a news flash.
Sitting around and doing nothing
isn't the key to happiness.
And these fools, these sluggards and sloths,
just their dream is to win the lottery.
And they go to the gas station
and they buy lottery tickets every day wasting money,
like all lazy people do.
And they waste the money and literally,
they wanna win the lottery
not so they can do anything good.
Oh no, it's so that they never have to work again.
What kind of a stupidity is that?
Oh, man, it'd be so great if I could just win the lottery.
I'd never have to work again.
Why would you not wanna work again?
'Cause you're lazy, that's why.
Because you know what?
If I had a tree in my backyard,
they just grew money leaves, okay?
If I had a genie, if I had a lamp,
I'd just rub the genie lamp
and just have all the money I want.
I'd still work every day.
Or at least six days a week, why?
Because what else are you gonna do?
Something, do something, preach something, work something.
But these people, it just shows where their mind's at
when it's just like, oh, I just wanna win the lottery
so I can never work again.
And they just gonna sit around and they're just gonna,
you know what, and that stuff's gonna get boring.
I mean, okay, you know why it's fun to go to the lake?
You know why it's fun to go dirt bike riding?
You know why it's fun to,
what are the things people do for recreation?
I work so much, I don't even know, no, I'm just kidding.
You know, fishing, you know why fishing's fun?
You know, I don't think it's fun, but whatever.
You know why fishing's fun?
You know why, because you don't do it every day.
That's why it's fun.
People who live in the country,
they go to the city to take a vacation.
And people who live in the city
go to the country for vacation, okay?
And you know why it's fun?
If you did it every day, if that was your job,
if you were a fisherman,
you'd be looking for days off from fishing.
And what I'm saying is that the reason that stuff is fun
is 'cause it's a treat.
You know why ice cream is so good?
'Cause you eat it every once in a while.
But if you ate ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
that wouldn't last for but a couple days.
You'd never want ice cream again.
You'd be sick of it.
And this idea where we just think,
oh, the perfect life is sitting around, you know,
being fed grapes and having someone fan me
with a palm branch.
That's the perfect life.
That would be cool for, like, the first day.
And then the second day, I'd be bored out of my mind.
I want to go to work.
You know, and look, haven't you tried to take vacations
before and you just kind of just want to work?
Nobody knows what I'm talking about?
You're like, you're a workaholic.
You know what workaholic is?
Something that lazy people call people who actually work.
It's true.
You know, I mean, a workaholic is just a label
you put on somebody who's a hard worker.
'Cause you're lazy.
You know, I mean, that's the way I...
And look, I understand the dangers
of living a life that's all about making money.
But see, I'm not talking about making money.
I'm talking about working.
And you know, some work that you do
isn't necessarily a moneymaker.
Like, how about soul winning?
How about reading and studying your Bible?
How about helping the poor?
You know, how about volunteering for something
that's a good cause?
How about raising your children?
How about training them and teaching them and guiding them?
What I'm saying is that we need to get to work,
man, woman, boy, girl.
Don't be a busybody, a tattler.
You're so offended by what you've seen on Facebook.
So-and-so didn't click like.
Maybe so-and-so's just at work.
That's why they didn't like your status.
You know what I mean?
And you're just liking everything.
You like everything because you're not doing any work.
And look, I'm not saying, don't blow off a little steam,
have a little recreation.
That's great.
OK, but you know what?
If you're a housewife, don't just live on Facebook.
Don't just live online.
You need to shut that thing off and cook some nutritious meals
for your family.
And don't be too lazy to do it, and just everything
is just a hungry man in the microwave.
You know, and today we've got men
that are too lazy to go out and work and pay the bills.
We got women who are too lazy to cook a nutritious meal.
Everything's ready made.
Everything's top ramen.
You know, nobody-- they don't want to cook anything.
They don't want to make anything.
They don't rise early while it's yet night to give meat to their household and a portion
to their maidens.
Proverbs 31.
You know, we've got children who don't want to work.
They don't want to get anything.
Parents who are too lazy to teach their children, too lazy to read the Bible to their children,
too lazy to teach them how to read, too lazy to take them to church.
You know, we've got Christians too lazy to go to church, too lazy to come back Sunday
night, too lazy to come back Wednesday night, and too lazy to do any soul-winning.
You know, we've got pastors today who are too lazy to go soul-winning, won't do any
soul-winning.
And then we also have pastors who are even too lazy to write their own sermons.
And so everything is just a pre-packaged sermon that someone else wrote.
