"Feel Good Hit of the Summer"

I was having a conversation with a friend in California and we started discussing how our childhood selves would view our adult selves. After the obligatory reference to a Bruce Willis movie we wished we didn't remember we began to discuss what would surprise our child-selves the most. This brought the conversation around to: the Seven Deadly Sins.

Now, being raised Roman Catholic I am very conversant with the big 7; but I don't know how familiar the rest of the world is with them. Sometimes people can roll off four or five and then get stuck, kind of like Dwarfs. I personally never remember Bashful. As for Sins, I list them here now.

• Lust
• Gluttony
• Greed
• Sloth
• Wrath
• Envy
• Pride

Now as far as I have been able to figure out, this list does not occur anywhere in the Bible as such, but Catholics have never felt constrained by the bible in finding ways to scare people into following.

Anyway... not a quiz really, just a question.

What Sin above are you most guilty of in your own life? No need to share, its kind of a personal question.

Thought about it? OK then spend today on the corresponding Seven Holy Virtue:

• Chastity
• Temperance
• Charity
• Diligence
• Forgiveness
• Kindness
• Humility
