The Seven Deadly Sins Part Four - Sloth & Gluttony
The Seven Deadly Sins Part Four - Sloth & Gluttony James 1:13-15 God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. 1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness… Sloth is a deadly sin that must die! 1 Timothy 5:13 …they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to. Ezekiel 16:49 Your sister Sodom's sins were pride, laziness, and too much food, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door. Sloth does not just mean being lazy on the job. Matthew 25:26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant!’” 1 Timothy 5:8 If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Sloth puts us in partnership with the devil. Proverbs 18:9 One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys. Matthew 12:30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.” God considers hard work a virtue. 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Anger Management Techniques
Anger Management Techniques 1. Drain the Brain WHEN to use: When your temper begins to flare. WHAT does it do: Mentally challenge yourself before taking out your anger on others HOW? Ask yourself these questions: o WHAT is the source of my irritation? o WHAT is the degree of my anger? o WHAT is the other person’s actual role in the situation? . Turn the circumstances around to see how you would want to be treated if the other person felt as you do. These mental gymnastics can help you regain control over runaway emotions before they escape and cause external damage. 2. Walk It Off WHEN to use: o In those moments when you feel the familiar rage start to rumble, excuse yourself if others are present and take a quick walk down the hall or outdoors, depending on whether you are at home or at work, and the weather conditions. o Even a 5-10 minute stroll, especially one that is fast- paced, will help to cool your irritation as you practice the fight-or-flight strategy by escaping the potential conflict, which is one of the more popular and useful anger management techniques. Anger Management Techniques 1.Count to 20 before saying anything. 2.Leave the room for several minutes, or hours, if necessary, before discussing sensitive issues that may provoke your anger. 3.Write out a response to a problem before tackling it orally or in debate. This will give you time to think about the best approach to a problem rather than responding with random anger.

EARLY MODERN WOMEN WRITERS AND HUMILITY AS RHETORIC: AEMILIA LANYER’S TABLE-TURNING USE OF MODESTY Thesis Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in English By Kathryn L. Sandy-Smith UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON Dayton, Ohio August 2013 EARLY MODERN WOMEN WRITERS AND HUMILITY AS RHETORIC: AEMILIA LANYER’S TABLE-TURNING USE OF MODESTY Name: Sandy-Smith, Kathryn Louise APPROVED BY: ________________________ Elizabeth Ann Mackay, Ph.D. Committee Co-chair ________________________ Sheila Hassell Hughes, Ph.D. Committee Member __________________________ Rebecca Potter, Ph.D. Committee Co-chair ii ABSTRACT EARLY MODERN WOMEN WRITERS AND HUMILITY AS RHETORIC: AEMILIA LANYER’S TABLE-TURNING USE OF MODESTY Name: Sandy-Smith, Kathryn L. University of Dayton Advisor: Elizabeth Mackay, Ph.D. 16th and 17th century women’s writing contains a pervasive language of self-effacement, which has been documented and analyzed by scholars, but the focus remains on the sincerity of the act, even though humility was often employed as a successful rhetorical tool by both classic orators and Renaissance male writers. Aemilia Lanyer’s Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum has been read in this tradition of sincere humility, and even when it has not, scholars have focused on the dedicatory paratext, thus minimizing Lanyer’s poetic prowess. I argue that Lanyer’s poem-proper employs modesty as a strategic rhetorical device, giving added credibility and importance to her work. By removing the lens of modesty as sincerity, I hope to encourage a reexamination of the texts of Renaissance women and remove them from their ‘silent, chaste and obedient’ allocation by/for the modern reader.
