WASP LEG
(How to remember
the 7 Deadly Sins)
W rath is unrighteous indignation
A varice is wanting more than enough
S loth kept me from doing what I should
P ride has I in the middle
L ust will do it no matter what
E nvy hates that you have more than I do
G luttony is as American as apple pie

About Gordon C. Stewart
I've always liked quiet. And, like most people, I've experienced the world's madness. "Be Still! Departure from Collective Madness" (Wipf and Stock Publishers, Jan. 2017) distills 47 years of experiencing stillness and madness as a campus minister and Presbyterian pastor (IL, WI, NY, OH, and MN), poverty criminal law firm executive director, and social commentator. Our cat Lady Barclay reminds me to calm down and be much more still than I would be without her.
