Sunday Seven #1 at Patrick's Place

Episode 1

Make sure you posts links to your answers at Patrick's Place!

Surprise, surprise!!  "The Saturday Six" now has a younger sibling.  Unlike the 'Six,' which features six questions each Saturday, "The Sunday Seven" will feature a single question with seven answers.  Sometimes, you'll have to rank seven things, other times you'll have to list seven things you come up with on your own to answer the question.

So here is the inaugural edition!


Here, in alphabetical order, are The Seven Deadly Sins: 

Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.

Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.


THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
Rank the seven sins in the order that you most often commit them, one being the sin you're usually most guilty of, seven being the sin you're usually least guilty of.

Okay...hurting my brain because we are all guilty of these at some point and some degree.  Here is the best I can come up with...subject to change:

1. Pride - goeth before the fall.  The worst of all for me.  I frequently have the attitude that "I can do it better".

2. Sloth - Not so much the physical work (except around the house lol), but I have gotten very lazy about my spirital path.

3. Anger - Sometimes too quick and too sharp.  Goes right up there with Pride.

4. Envy - Who doesn't?  It's why I work so that we can have a better material life.

5. Greed - Again, it's why I work as much as I do.

6. Gluttony - Why I weigh 20lbs more than I want.

7. Lust - You know...I just don't find myself having a problem with this since I have been happily married for 7 1/2 years.  There is the occasional appreciation for someone who is physically attractive, but I don't find myself in reality desiring that person.
